Post Importing (US)Car to Canada

Hello,
I would like to buy a couple of cars in the USA and Import them into Canada. I have some cars in mind that are at a very low price in the USA compared to local cars. I have talked to a number of people and the one said it is hard to get a car from the US to Canada but the second one said that it is a piece of cake. Then another one said you have to take care of alot of paperwork and the customs make you pay alot of money.. etc etc... I dont know what to think and whom to believe?

First: I would like to buy used cars only!
I have 2 cars in mind:
1. 2007 Bentley Continental GT - 11,580 MILES - $109,888
2. 2006 Audi A8 L - 29,000 MILES - $33,995

(BOTH CARS ARE FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY! CARFAX CLEAN - LOW MILEAGE)
(The Audi will be used for everyday use and the Bentley for the weekends and nightouts)
I have the shipping pretty much figured out. They will be shipped to Saskatchewan(SK). It costs about $2500 for each one of them.
Now the Government Tax is 5% and the Provincial Tax is also 5% in my province. Both cars are located in Texas. So when I import them do I have to pay TX taxes? Or only the 5% Provincial for SK? What kind of Papers do I need to prepare to show at the border? What else do I have to think about?
Best Regards,
CC
