Why would buying the same car in the USA or in Canada be so different?
so I went on BMW.com and BMW.ca to build myself a brand new M3 and see how much it costs
on the US website, it will cost me 67000$US which is equal to 78000$CAD on the Canadian website, it will cost me 96000$US does anybody have any idea why? Are these companies still using 1.5 as the exchange rate in order to rack in much more money? |

It's all about the duties and taxes. GST and PST. Remember, the States don't have all that shit. Duty is a revenue source for Canada, it's not for the States.

better than M6, to each his own. M5 and M6 are basically the same thing besides the body style. Of course the M6 will weigh 300 lbs less. same engine, same tranny, same susp. Personally, i like to have a sedan, so i got the M5. Also, I didnt want to deal with the M6 waiting list. M6's are going for 20k+ over MSRP. |

 If you were here in Costa Rica you'd be paying around 105% taxes (tho there are workarounds on that). Anyways... there ain't no point in a prestige lump of metal here - the roads would knock the hell out of it in 12 months. Best vehicle is probably an UK ex-army landrover - gotta cost the best part of $2000 (without the chrome rims)

But we are mainly getting ass-raped by the companies pocketing the advantage on the exchange ... It seems they kept the same ration of $1.00 US = $ 1.50 Can. Think of gas ... it continues going up let's say at the same % as the US... but the increase should have been absorbed by the increase of our currebncy.. Same here with wine from Europe .. and there was a " mini-scandal" about trying to keep the prices as high... When our currency falled, eveything went up ... But it seems that want went up doesn't necessarely come down....

Compared to other countries we definitely buy more luxury cars. There's no doubt about that. After all, people had to put spinners on something.

Bdjuf, I noticed that too.
So simply just buy the car from the US and import it in yourself.. Because at 96,000 you still have to pay 17% tax. 14% for gst pst and 3 % luxury tax. importing a car from us you will pay 20% tax from what i've heard anyways (about to find out in 21 days ). You still save quite bit of money. |
