Prices on 16 Toyota and Lexus models have been lowered to better represent the loonie’s value, Toyota Canada said Friday.
The one good thing is that Toyota will honor the warranty!
And with the Canadian Government’s help , Toyota Canada, at first glace comes close on the Yaris Sedan. See below:
The difference on a Yaris is $3,000. oops! I forgot to mention that the Canadian Government will give you $1000.00 back if you buy it in Canada! (remember that Transport Canada has a ECO-rebate program that discriminates against hard working Canadians that buy in the US)
See the files we worked on :
2008-02-01yarisquotecanadian.pdf $20594 less eco-rebate is $19594.
2008-02-01yarisquoteus.pdf add Riv fees and GST / PST and you get $17,636 US
But more important lets make some phone calls and find out for sure!
At 2:14 P.M. I just got off the phone with a dealer in the US, with my one month lease of an apartment , U.S. address needed, he will give me $500 off, $15,125 US before rent, RIV and GST and PST.
At 2:28, just got off the phone with a great saleman at one of the dealers in Montreal, we had a great chat about the differences between the US and Canadian models, he told me you can see it all on the web site, stonger alternators, better heavy duty batteries, bigger wind shield washer holder, ….
But in the end, stated the best he could do was take off $300.00 giving around $19, 250, Tax In.
All in all a difference of less than $2,000. Not to bad. Add on the scare tactics being implemented by the press and Canadian Government and maybe some shoppers might stay at home!
Looks like Toyota is starting toget its stuff together…. but is this just a lost leader… what are they doing with the popular more expensive models? Anyone care to comment?
My Toyota from the USA $8,100 savings
