lowside67 your post is the best i have ever seen, but there are some small errors.
1) regarding sales tax in the USA, different states have different laws regarding out of state purchasers and in some states you must pay sales tax, contacting a tax office or an attorney in that state is the easiest way to find out.
2) you said fax your info 72 business hours ahead of time, i think you meant to say 3 business days (since 72 business hours = 9 days)
3) you advise to go through the commercial side, that's only if you are a business if you are importing for yourself you can go through the regular crossing. Only businesses registered can fill out a B3 since you need your import number. Most of us just get the car for ourselves.
4) The federal inspection is NOT free, you have paid for it when you paid your RIV fee. (last time i bought a car in the US in july 06 the fee was $206)
oh yeah, go through aldergrove/lynden crossing you're in and out in 5-10 minutes.
so that's my four cents
