We were banking on $1.99 and I have no idea what to do. We made all our moving calculations on a $2.2 rate of exchange and I'm devastated we didn't buy before - feel paralysed by the decision....

Any of you finance peeps have any more insight? Feel like I need to decide right now... too much pressure...

Well, to flog this old horse yet again, just this very second I've seen the pound nosing over $2.00 CDN on the interbank rates, most welcome for those still with money to move / waiting on house sales.

Alvic, buy your car in the US, that will help with any shortfall, plus future prices for TV's etc will be lower.

I am ecstatic about the current rates, I labored with $2.45 and with $1.40 to the U.S., turnaround is fair play.:rofl:

Thanks Howard for the advice....can you just go over the border and purchase a car and drive it back into Canada. Are there duties etc to be paid on it?
