I have doubts if it's worth it (including falling in love with a 1M)... it's about patience I guess to find "the one" but even in my case the chase for 1M is a big part of an owners story.
Yes it's relatively ok to import a car from Canada but it's "work"

I would certainly not just randomly import a Canadian car into the USA without a really good reason. If I was Canadian or had lived in Canada and was moving to the US and really loved my car, I would do it. If it was a rare car and I found one in Canada but could not find one in the USA, I very likely would do it. If I had an opportunity to save some small amount of money on a car that I could just as easily buy in the USA, I would definitely NOT do it.
