Time for my $.02.  It is my understanding:

If used car is bought from a dealer (which it sounds like) you will have to
pay both GST and PST on it and I think you can only get the GST refunded. 
However, if bought from a private individual you can avoid paying any taxes
on purchase price, at least until you have to register it at home (see above
point).

You crafty Americans better hurry up, the CAN$ has started its recovery!
