Buying from canada - Broker help

I am about to pull the trigger on a 07 911 Turbo from Canada (formerly a US car) and wanted recommendations on a broker to deal with. If anybody has any experience in this it would be much appreciated also. I did a search and much of the information was vague or was dealing with a car older than 25 years. The exchange rate right now makes it very optimal to buy from there. I am in Texas so I do not want to deal with driving it back. I know about the 2.5% duty, but is there anything else? Thanks for any help and I am continuing to search the forums for more info.

Other than the 2.5 ï¼…duty, there will be about $1300 of brokerage and all other misc fees and that's it. (I did it recently in BC Canada). Anyone can import the car for you as long as the broker process all the documentation before crossing the border.

Thanks guys for the help. Looks like I can get a low mileage 997 turbo with everything to my door for under $65k. Love the conversion right now.

Toughest part of getting the car is arranging the time the dog sled will meet you at the border.
