Ed, you can drive it back to AB. Just get temporary tags (in transit I think they call it?) and then do the reg-ging when you get it home. I thought of doing that too, but it wouldn't be a vacation for me, more of a grab and dash, so shipping it here is cheaper.

Fuzzy, re Prices, last time I checked, a V24WG was averaging 1200USD on the USS auction site.

But if you wanna know exact, here is a truck being sold by my recommended importer, JDM Connection:
Final price to Van is $5600!
Pajero XP on JDM Connection

Drop them a line!
