Here is text received from Cornwall Toyota’s automatic email system.
“THE BOTTOM LINE - Your buying power increases (or decreases) in direct proportion to the level of local business activity. By shopping locally, the one dollar you spend will go through many hands, generating economic benefits for the entire community at every step along the way. Just as a farmer would not irrigate his neighbor’s fields instead of his own, we need to water our own garden, or rue the day when the harvest is poor.”
These are the same folks that had this add in the paper a few months ago.
Here is what one of our supporters wrote back to them:
What a crock of s@@t. The bottom line is that by buying from your establishment Canadian consumers are just sending more money to Japan. Why aren’t you fighting Toyota for lower prices for your customers instead of trying to pull the wool over their eyes?
It’s 2008; consumers see through this crap now.
I just checked Transport Canada & US Transportation web sites - ref. recalls for Honda and Toyota
2008 - Toyota Canada - NO recalls - In USA - Camry has a recall?
2008 - Honda Canada - recalls on FIT and Ridgeline only - In the USA, same as Canada
So Honda is refusing to give a No-recall letter on cars - vans that have NO recalls.
Transport Canada - RIV - please wake up!
Transport Canada recall site - http://www.tc.gc.ca/roadsafety/recalls/
US Government recall site - http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/recalls/
Check for yourself when you are paying for a recall letter on a car that has NO RECALL
USA HONDA RECALL Canada Honda Recall

See this email that I received from a USA Boston area dealer - seems like a good deal for a 2009 Camry.
