We really had a laugh yesterday when we looked through all the misleading Auto ads in the Gazette. Now we know why the Gazette doesn’t want to print the truth about pricing, more than 75% of their revenues must come from Canadian Car ads. … but back on topic…
Check out this ad from Volvo, Pay cash and they give you up to a $9,000 dollar discount. Sounds good until you find out that the price difference for the entry level with no options XC90 AWD Executive model is $79,006.85 Tax in. The US model is 50 versus $60362.16 Tax In ( Including the 6.1% European tax) … a difference of $10,000 after a possible $9,000 cash rebate…if we had more time we would call and probably find out that the rebate was only $8,000 ( after tax ?) because we did not buy the fully loaded model?!
Need we say more…

Auto sector bleeds from bite of high fuel

We have posted the details for you as well. Maybe this will loosen up some of the American Dealers to start selling to Canadians.
