You don't get it. They can collect taxes on cars as they're imported or registered. There's no advantage of buying outside of province due to a specific tax in BC.
When you buy a car in the US, you pay GST when you import it, then PST when you register it with ICBC. I haven't imported any luxury cars recently, but they probably collect the luxury tax this way now as well.
