EBay.ca Lancer Evolution

I have seen many Lancer Evolution on EBay.ca which is supposed to sell stuff in Canada right? But the sellers of the Lancer Evolutions are in USA but they said they will ship worldwide. So, does that mean I can go bid for a LanEvo and drive it in Canada?

I think i heard of the 1 vehicle per person cause my Japanese friend plan to import a WRX STi to BC but thats another story since the WRX is allowed in Canada. So if i plan to buy Evo from state and get it insured by Wawanesa I could be driving it legally?

Why would they not let someone bring a US market vehicle into Canada? Too much safety and emission equipment? The steering wheel is on the left side. I think the only obstacle would be possible import duty payment.

Why not take 1 mins to search google for some actual useful info?
Here is a start for you: http://www.google.com/search?sourcei...+car+to+canada

Read the first link (http://www.canadiandriver.com/articles/mj/import.htm), then click on the government links at the end of that and keep on reading.
