To my knowledge GM still restricts new car sales to Canadians in border states. Used cars not an issue. You might have better luck traveling to a dealership further down into the states. Issue with your friend in Washington registering the car there, he will have to buy to register himself and pay state taxes. Then you will have to buy from him and when imported pay Canadian taxes. Still would most likely save you money. I have imported a few older cars from the states. Last car bought in South Carolina, just paid min. fee for 30 day tags, did not have to pay SC sales tax as I had a Canadian address and was exporting. Each state might be different.
Just keep in mind the time limit and km restrictions GM Canada puts on new cars bought in the states. Sucks, Ford Canada has no such warrenty restrictions for cross border purchases and no dealer restrictions selling to Canadians (at least they didn't last time I checked).
