There is a price difference on Toyota Sienna LE 2008:
Price in US: 26100. That is LE + power doors + alloy wheels + mudguards + convinience package. That was a price I got witout negotiating with a dealer. That is price on the road. Dealer went throug all paperwork, but last minute got a call from Toyota US telling them that if they will sell it, then they'll loose licence.
 
Price in Canada: 37000$. That is MSRP: 37225 + 1400(PDI) - 1000(Rebate)-625(dealer discount).
 
26100 + tax(13%) = 29754
37000+tax(13%) = 42180.
 
Add 1000 expense to get car from US.
Event negotite 1000 her less from the deler.
 
Where is my misinformation?

I welcome the argument from freshtunes that he found the $2,000 savings from going to the US to be not worth while. It helps to keep things in perspective.
 
But when I ran the numbers I found, as freshtunes indicated, that the comparison was based on US MSRP vs. a Canadian very hard bargaining deal. The real cash price in the US would have been lower with some bargaining.
 
If you suceeded in getting only $1,000 off the MSRP of $26,733 in the US, after excise tax, PST and GST the comparative price would have been $1,200 less so the savings would have been $3,200. If you could beat the US dealer down by $2,000, the savings would have been $4,400.

Good news for RAV people. List just got updated in last few minutes It now says:
 
2007 AND 2008 RAV4 (sport and base models) built after September 1st, 2007 (see notes)
2007 AND 2008 RAV-4 Limited
2008 Highlander Sport
2008 Highlander HV
2008 4Runner
2008 Highlander Limited
2007 AND 2008 Highlander (base model) built after September 1st, 2007 (see notes)
 
So no see notes section in front of RAV limted. I hope this does mean that RAv limited do not need letter too.

jeppers, creepers .... unless I misunderstood your post, I think you are in the wrong forum. I am sure that if you search you will find another forum to share your protectionist beliefs about cross-border shopping. This forums is all about "Importing a Car into Canada from US" and serves to share information and experiences to that effect.
 
with all due respect...

your misinformation is toyota is not the only car manufacture that makes a minivan. in canada when the dollar was lower, toyota was grossly over priced to begin with. i can name 10 other car manufactures that make minivans and i can assure you most of them are pretty darn close to parity when you factor in interet rates.

Honda Recall Clearance Letter by darfer

I found something on RIV website regarding the Honda Recall Clearance Letter,
go to www.riv.ca, click on recall clearance letter, then go to the bottom and click on consult the contact information list. Go to Honda contact info, and you will find the web info for the Honda owners link recall letter. If riv has this info on their website i'm sure they would except the letter in lieu of the Manufactures recall clearance letter. I spoke to them and they said they would except it.

I'm sorry ismith1957, there's no sale price on the Quest on the flyer that I got. It's probably better to check the dealership on Nov 24.

Pre Sept 1st 2008 Toyota Highlander by rutilus

Am I reading the RIV chart section 5 - Pre Sept 1st 2008 manufacture correctly, when I conclude it's OK to import ANY 2007 Highlander into Canada?
Thanks.

Gee McCreeper. Now, in addition to hectoring people on the list about their un-Canadian ways, you're evaluating whether Toyotas are overpriced compared to other minivans. There is a reason that Honda and Toyota are consistently rated #1. Quality. That's why so many of the posts discuss Honda and Toyota models, It's one thing to pipe up with an opinion, but for crying out loud, quit the preaching.
 
and another thing please lern to use the spelcheck the cap key your posts are very hard to read as well as understand
