Replying to: maryanna1 (Jun 28, 2006 4:03 pm) in many cases it is less expensive to use a home equity loan which does permit deducting the interest on the loan. BTW, isn't that Barcelona Red a nice color? It's tough to make red a class act but they certainly did succeed on this one.

Replying to: cruising7388 (Jun 29, 2006 12:17 am) I agree, a home equity loan can be the way to go, but I don't own a house, so that option was out for me. I'm pretty happy with my rate - I just can't wait to get the car.

My wife is a bug on visibility so we got white for a color. What's nice about the metallics on the Prius is how much depth they have. Take your time on an extended warranty decision. You have up to three years to decide one way or the other. And don't forget the great Fed tax credit that is available for the Prius. You should get in under the wire for the full credit without any problem. There's a tremendous amount of information on this forum regarding the most effective driving techniques for best mileage etc. It's definitely worth the time surfing through them. |

Every dealer I've visited has two or three Priuii on the lot. All will sell at MSRP and will deal (for less). One dealer I went to for a test drive offered $2500 less than MSRP. I think I may pass on this. In Canada we only have three option packages - "A" is "base" - about $31,500 Can. or around $28,350 US. "B" includes audio system, bluetooth, VSC, homelink and more - about $35,350 Can. or $31,815 US "C" includes everything above and adds nav. - about $38,700 Can. or $34,800 US. I thought it also added leather, but it's not mentioned on the on-line list. As you can see, the pricing is a bit high compared to the US pricing. In fact it looks like I can buy a Prius in the US and import it for less than $28,000 Can. (base model) including all taxes, inspection fees and duty and $1000 to cover airfare and hotels. That's about $5000 Can. less than offered here. So even with the quoted offer above, I can still save $2500 (his offer was on a "B" package as well, so it may not apply to a "base" model). The same math applies to BMW cars, so it looks like there is too much money floating around here. Oil boom!

Replying to: pathstar1 (Jul 06, 2006 9:31 am) 1. Does Canada have an import duty that would eat into the spread? 2. Are there any Canadian DOT requirements that are not satisfied by CONUS DOT standards? For example, doesn't a Canadian vehicle now require the "always headlights on when driving" feature which is only an option on a lot of CONUS vehicles? 3. Is every feature of a CONUS Toyota warranty honored by Canadian Toyota repair facilities? |

Replying to: cruising7388 (Jul 06, 2006 10:41 am) Revenue Canada has a list of vehicles on the internet that can be imported. Certain vehicles can't, mainly ones that aren't sold here, such as certain Mitsubishi models, and even a Toyota or two (bumpers don't meet Canadian/world standards). In fact we went though the entire process, acertaining which forms we would need etc. It's pretty simple. A few years ago it wasn't worth it, but now it is.
