Great cars for sale!

Dealers here have been instructed by the manufacturer to no longer sell to Canadians to protect the dealers in Canada. A directive came down to the local Honda dealership about 3 weeks ago and apparently has occured at the other dealerships as well. A good friend of mine had just sold a Honda to a lady from B.C. and saved her $6000. Jim

Don't be to harsh on the Canadian dealers they are in a real bad spot right now. When this dealer bought his 100k RV the dollar was trading at 66 cents to the American dollar. Now that the dollar is basically par he has to eat $34k. Not going to happen and im sure many companys are feeling the pinch right now. Not only is their capital tied up in overpriced inventory and it dosent give them a chance to now restock at better deals but they can't sell what they have now unless they want to bankrupt themselves. What the big issue is right now that has got Canadians riled up is that even with the exchange rate taken into consideration there is still thousands of dollars difference that these companys have no answer to other then the fact of blaitenly ripping off Canadians. It's only now been noticed becouse the dollar is basically at par and people have notice the now obvious. Now that the Canadians have caught on they are going down in droves to get cross border deals and the American companies stand to lose millions of dollars and are putting preasure on the American government to put a stop to these actions. This is why some Canadian groups are now filing civil lawsuits against many american manufacturers not just car companies. All this is happening as you read this so past experiences on cross border shopping were a bit easier.

I should also say that the Canadian retailers have notice the problem and have been putting pressure on the Canadian government to do something about it. Now maybe the slowdown at the border has something to do with that i don't know. Maybe its just a backlog as it took a few weeks before anyone noticed the problem.

PS. Budnate before you jump up to yell BS, maybe check your current affairs first.

wasn't aimed at you personally, I based my opinion on first hand experience with a guy and the border people, we talked daily and finally said screw it,

I think thats holds up as a current go at the border not some 4th hand he said story.
