Bad for anyone who bought one in January. How much do you not want to be the person who spent $7200 more for an RX350 a week ago? Gee... I wonder why they are doing that? To try and take advantage of a weaking U.S. dollar perhaps? That's right... TO INCREASE SALES! Ahh, yes... "Sales". With all the salvaged scrap Toyota's become as of late, DUE TO RECALLS, DEFECTS AND ACCIDENTS. It's no coincidence that sales "HAVE INCREASED".

matthewq4b Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Gee... I wonder why they are doing that? To try and take advantage of a stronger Canadian Dollar perhaps? That's right... TO INCREASE SALES! by pricing vehicles more in line with U.S pricing There fixed it. It is a token amount and still not enough of a reduction. To bad Ford does not do the same. Sport Trac Limited 4x4 4.6L In Windosor Ontario MRSP $40,349 Sport Trac Limited 4x4 4.6L Across the river in Detroit MRSP $29,373 CAD currently worth $1.0048 USD Maybe you should be asking why FORD has not done some thing about this to actually increase their sales in Canada. Do not fault Toyota cause they actually are trying to more properly reflect the exchange rate between Canada and the U.S. Even if ther stuff is crap they are at least making the effort. Ford needs a Kick in the ass for this kind of shit. They are loosing thousands and thousands of sales cause of this kind of massive price differance between Canada and the U.S. If Ford priced their cars the same here as the U.S their sales would increase 100% over night here. Those kind of price differances just stink of greed to be honest. Matthew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you said, it would help to increase sales as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_fairmont_wagon Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 With toyota leading the market there with those price changes, I can't see Ford being able to wait too long before knocking off about 5%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinb120 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I think it's quite odd that they have not adjusted every auto price to the value of the Canadian dollar yet. The last three GT500's I sold all went to Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doo Dad Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 The change in the Canadian dolllar has everyone north of the border doing a little comparison. Seems like the nicer the ride the bigger the difference. Sure there are some content differences. Of course the manufacturers do what they can to prevent US dealers from selling to Canadians. Then some wont honor warranties for new vehicles that cross the border. Dont even ask about stuff built in Canada and sold for less in the US.
