Replying to: oldfarmer50 (Sep 05, 2009 1:36 am) Ofcourse! Now I just have to decide between getting a 2009 or 2010... Wonder if when they start trying to get rida the '09s if I could push em even lower. Or just be happy with whatever lowest price I can get for the 2010 for the resell value later...

Replying to: ellusionz21 (Sep 04, 2009 11:36 pm) Plus I like how it comes off over $1k cheaper   By all means keep us posted how things go. Me thinks you're going to be sadly disappointed by some of the online guides. None are 100% accurate and many are simply all over the place. They are not a buyers bible, even Edmunds. Makes you wonder how they come up with the numbers.   A word of advice, just because a dealer won't give you the lowest online price you can find, don't take it personal and don't think he's a crook. That simply means the online guide you're using is off for your local area for the vehicle for that time of the year.
#5168 of 5169 Canadian Car Prices by rocketbob Oct 29, 2009 (8:58 am)
Does anyone know why Canadian dealer invoice prices are not freely available. Several websites say for a fee they can give an invoice price but I question the reliability of info that can't be verified.   It is bad enough we get ripped off on MSRP that bear no relation to currency exchange rates but just about everything is out of wack ( for example: a 2010 equinox ships to San Diego for $745 US from the Cami Plant at Ingersoll,Ontario. This has to be more than 3000 kilometres. The same vehicle shipped 5 kilometres to the Chev dealer in Ingersol costs $1350 Canadian)   The veil of secrecy makes it difficult to fairly price a deal and i don't understand how all the information on holdbacks, invoice price, rebates and dealer incentives is available in the US and not in Canada even for the identical cars.

Replying to: rocketbob (Oct 29, 2009 8:58 am) I don't know why the information is not freely available in Canada. I do know that the information that Armada Data Corporation supplies is mostly correct.   The whole freight thing is easily explained - the number we pay in Canada includes PDI as well as freight (unless you are Kia who like to charge twice for PDI). The PDI component is way too much, but that is another story.
