Replying to: jsmith1957 (Nov 22, 2007 6:36 am) I know there is room to negotiate the F&PDI...but I'm now aware of it being waived completely....i could be wrong though. If you factored in this cost my savings were over $2000 + $4000 rebate. I could probably wait it out another month or two and save another $500-$1000, but the wife wanted to car before Christmas. I would say enough of a discount to make the decision

Replying to: eieio2 (Nov 21, 2007 6:54 am) At least 13 but less than 14 litres per 100 km: $1,000 At last 14, but less than 15 litres per 100 km: $2,000 At least 15 but less than 16 litres per 100 km: $3,000 16 or more litres per 100 km: $4,000 See website at: http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/agency/budget/2007/excise-e.html I am pretty sure you pay this right at the border (when you pay GST). Note, you also pay $100 excise for air conditioning.

TC just returned my call. I had left message asking for clarification on importing 2008 Highlander Ltd or Sport built after Sept 1, 2007. In no uncertain terms the TC guy said I must get a letter of compliance with the CMVSS114 from the manufacturer. If an after market immobilizer is installed then the manufacturer has to okay it. Congradulations to all that have been able to import a post 9/1 Highlander. I have the guys name at TC and I recorded the call. My wife still doesn't want the Blue pre 9/1/07 Highlander. guess I'll sit this out for now. |

Replying to: nowarranty3 (Nov 22, 2007 7:49 am) I have also spoken with Toyota Canada and the rep verbally confirmed based on my VIN that the immobilizer is 100% CMVSS compliant (Highlander LTD - 10/07 build). Good luck.

Replying to: tri_biker (Nov 22, 2007 8:01 am) That's why I called TC, as it seemed there was so much inconsistency with the RIV people. What do you mean by the US specs document. I piece of paper in my hand would make me feel a whole lot better. What was the Rep's atitude like? |

| keep up the pressure people. once again i will revert to the stat of how man cars are on track to enter canada this year by importation. under 150,000. most of that are from dealers and brokers. not enough pressure but there always has to be a few people to stir things up. just wait till the dollar goes back down, all the rebates come off and they will just raise the prices again. so for a little short term gain you are screwing us with long term pain. i betcha if there were 100 people on this site 5 of you have actually brought a car back. not enough pressure people. go to work focus all your energy on your kids/ family cause i will tell you this all the time you people are wasting on waititng to see if your cars quailify or if you will be able to register that car in canada is not worth my hasssle to save a few thousand bucks. you probably wouldnt be buying a new car anyways so go visit your used car dealers as they are all importing vehicles from the states to keep up with what you people have tried to determine is the market. but in reality you sit on here talking like your ready to pounce on that big deal in the states when the chances have passed you by. you tell the dealers i am going to the states when in fact your not your just delaying when your buying a car. forgo all that nonsense will you and support canadian way of life. even if it costs you a little more money on your monthly paymnets, as all of you dont have the cash saved up to go risk it in the states. 98 percent of you will use borrowed money and call it cash. once again a concerned citizen not a dealer or salesman | |
