    hey all, wondering where is a good place for us fellow Canadians to purchase car parts such as exhaust.

    our dollar is in the shitter right now and buying from american sources is expensive..

    any suggestions? or just ride it out...

    I think you'll still pay high dough as most of the Canadian based shops import from the US or beyond and they are buying in USD. The exchange rate is going to be passed onto the Canadian buyer or retailer regardless.

    We Canadians are likely going to be in this position for the next few years with high auto parts based on the future of our economy.

    My $0.02, without the exchange rate factored in!

    Hit the nail on the head. It will be a long time before it gets close to the US dollar again

    It sucks regardless if you buy from a Canadian vendor or US vendor. Canadian ones just do the exchange rate anyway. At best you'll save on shopping and duties/taxes from shipping over the border.
