Is the RIV involved?  We don’t know, but it appears so.   E-mail to TC- ADM

We will let you folks be the judge. Take a look at the add appearing in the Gazette this Morning.  Is this really a good deal for Canadians?

• The 2008 Civic DX manual Model FA1528EX ( the picture is of a Civic SI Sedan??) $198/ month + taxes, no down payment, Total cost of the lease is $11,880 + taxes over the 60 month lease, 19.2K KM per year.
• The 2008 Accord LX manual Model CP2538E (the picture is of an Accord EX-L ) $298 + taxes, no down payment , Total cost of the lease over 48 months is $14,304 + Taxes.  
• On both models PDI is included in the leasing only.  Publication,  Taxes, Licencing, insurance (duh!), and administration (documentation) fees are extra.
• How much if we want to pay cash?  Comments welcomed?
• Is this a really good deal for Canadians? 
• Note : with all the small print on the side of the page, why don’t they just tell us what the buy-back will be at the end of the lease as of date of publication of course.
• The $9,000 cash rebate fee applies on the 2007 S2000 Model AP2147EN at a MRSP of $50,000 Plus PDI of $1,540, registration, insurance, licence, and taxes are extra.  Cash incentives may not be combined with purchase or lease financing?  Gst rebate of 1% too!
• If we go off to the “Tale”  prices in the US range from $34,300 for the Base model up to $37,300 for the CR A/C 6 speed MT.
• Over to the RIV and the S2000 appears to be  admissible!
• So what do you think Canadians?  Deal or No Deal!?
