Great piece on the CBC National on November 27 – thank you Havard and CBC. Another dirty little secret came out that manufacturers are also trying to keep prices for new cars elevated in Canada to prevent used cars from being significantly devalued. Lower prices for used cars means the manufacturers are going to take a significant hit (loss) on their lease returns. We also heard that automobile manufacturers are graciously dropping their prices in Canada. What consumers have missed out on is that in the face of declining house prices, mortgage problems and slowing employment growth, vehicle prices are dropping south of the border too. Why can’t Canadians have the choice to purchase a vehicle south of the border and bring it into Canada? This is not about protecting auto-workers – in fact, lower prices will likely have the positive impact of creating more demand for vehicles in Canada. Lower prices for vehicles in the States have in many cases prompted Canadians to purchase a car in the US that they might not have necessarily done otherwise.

The intention of this posting is just to add a little more punch to the daily auto report issued by Canwest News Service. Columnists Care Dear and David Booth write excellent reviews almost every day on a different car. Two key points are missing. Can Canadians buy this car in the U.S.? And how much are the savings?

Today we start with two cars. One featured last Monday Nov. 26th and todays. Continue reading “Car of the day - Ford Escape hybrid and Mercedes Benz GL-Class GL550″

Not bad for a site that was built and started last Tuesday.  Please keep up the support.

With very few exceptions, no Canadian can import a vehicle from the US manufactured after September 1, 2007.
 
Canadians are welcome to go shopping in the US to benefit from lower prices but if you find a dealer who will sell you a new or used 2008 vehicle for significantly less than in Canada (which you will) – you can’t bring it back to Canada.   You can pick up a couple of sweaters, a big screen TV and a some appliances but don’t pick up a GMC, TOYOTA or HONDA truck to bring them back to Canada.  The vehicle can’t be registered in Canada so you might as well leave it at the border.
 
Why - Transport Canada has mandated that all vehicles imported into, or sold in Canada, must have an anti-theft device which is unique to Canada.  US vehicle manufacturers are claiming their US vehicles don’t meet the Canadian standard and have deemed many of their vehicles as Inadmissible.  Through not allowing for free trade, Transport Canada’s actions are hurting all Canadians.
