We could call it the 911-B program. I suppose we should write the law such that you have to prove you checked out the local dealerships first. You could even pay someone to look and then not bother checking to see if they actually did:

Outstanding. Do you suppose I could just lease it for a few years at a fraction of the ordinary monthly payments? That way I can drive it extra hard and skip changing the oil and all that annoying stuff and then at the end of the lease, I just send it back. That'd be fantastic.

Of course, of course. Otherwise, what would be the point? The best part is eventually the local dealerships will have to offer the same prices and same, eh, liberal maintenance policies if they want to have any hope of selling their wares.

You can import 6 Ladas cheap and weld then together. The combine should horsepower would match the 911.

Actually, there ain't one except that you'll have to pay fees/taxes on the importation, and probably some special checks/certifications to be able to put it on the road.

In the end, it's a lot of troubles and it may be more expensive than getting one locally.

[Note: I'm still talking about getting that car, the comparison with labour, if any, is purely accidental.]

There is a 20% import tax when you bring in a car... so be sure to declare it at a much lower price then you paid for it.
