Legal Question in Consumer Law in Washington

Canadians purchasing new vehicle

Thousands of Canadians have been refused the sale of a new vehicle by most brands (not all) in the US. They are refused if they do not have a US address. Basically creating a barrier to export. Used vehicles are allowed. Is this discriminatory, trade law anticompetitive, collusion, NAFTA?

Re: Canadians purchasing new vehicle

I'd have to understand the basis for the refusal to sell. Did the dealer put that in writing? I cannot think why a car dealer would refuse a sale.

If you look at avvo.com ( a v v o ) you may be able to locate an attorney in Bellingham or thereabouts who handles consumer protection matters. That person can answer your question better than I can.

Sorry I can't be more helpful -
