Price Gouging Mercedes pays Governments to keep quiet!

 As pointed out in CarsWithoutborders back in 2007 and 2008, the “Price Gouging tactics” of  Daimler-Chrysler and all the other car companies created a “transfer pricing” issue that while “screwing”  hard working Canadians on price, also provided them with a loop-hole to avoid paying taxes. 

 Our Governments slow to jump on this have finally settled with a $1.5 B dollar win!  We at CarsWithoutborders wonder what they have negotiated?  Will the Governments continue to let them “hose” hard working Canadians.  Why do we continue to pay 20 to 25% more than our U.S. cousins for Mercedes-Benz models? 

 Will our Governments go after the other companies as well? BMW?  Stay tuned! 

 Shop wisely!
