Infiniti Canada - do the right thing - price the same in Canada as the USA by love2drive1

Dear Infiniti Canada ( and the Head Office executives of the other car companies that read these posts)
 
You have seen the trend and you know the momentum is for a stronger Canadian dollar, so now is the time to at least price the same in Canada as the USA.
 
Pricing 42% more in Canada is wrong.
> easy to see on www.infiniti.ca and www.infiniti.com
> M45 $73,400 in Canada versus $50,550 in USA
> this $22,850 difference is in after tax dollars. Even at a 35% tax rate, a Canadian has to make almost $31,000 just to pay for the difference.
 
As you have yet to release and post your 2008 prices, here is your chance to fix the pricing and show you are a good corporate citizen.

The sad fact is that this isn't only an "Infiniti" issue - remember that Honda Canada (Acura) juiced the 2006 RL by over $15,000 and had to announced 'better' pricing last year (they gave the intellectually-challenged considering this model back only $5K) - yes, there are 'inconveniences' like paperwork and inspection appointments(consultants on the web will do it all for you for $500), and maybe your make/model is one of the few that still attract import duty, but NONE OF THAT AMOUNTS TO AN AVERAGE OF $10,000-$20,000 PRICE DIFFERENCE ON A LUXURY PURCHASE (BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, Infiniti). The real deals (if you can stomach it - would be on the few NA cars that one might consider, like (shudder) Cadillac). And remember that the "CANADIAN DEALER DISEASE" (they will pay anything - shear'em) means that the bordertown US dealers may do better on purchase price in the first place.

Does anyone know if Infiniti/Nissan Canada will honour the warranty on a new vehicle purchased in the US?
 
Aside from the obvious issues of installing DRL, assuring bumpers/seatbelts/emissions conform to cndn standards, and likely swapping out the instrument cluster for a metric one, the warranty issue is the big sticking point. I read yesterday that Honda USA/Canada have recently come together to screw the consumer by saying that not only would a USA-purchased vehicle not have its warranty honoured in Canada, no USA-based dealer will honour the warranty once the car has been brought across the border and registered in canada. so even for those living in border communities who may be thinking the warranty is not an issue - they would just pop across the border for servicing - they are being railroaded by corporate collusion. Other manufacturers have not been as short sighted (Toyota and Subaru for example)...
 
A new G-coupe is $40k in the US and $51k in Canada. Yet, if warranty is not honoured, I will have no choice by to (1) purchase in Canada and say goodbye to the extra 10-15k (after tax), (2) purchase a cheaper vehicle (3) buy a vehicle from company that offers cross-border warranty coverage.

Infiniti Canada looks like it covers US Warranty.
Take a look at this www.apa.ca site:

Maybe you should learn how to spell the name of the car you say you drive!

Why don't you " Canadians " start your own forum. We really don't care what a car costs in Canada, eah?

Actually, we do care and Canadian questions and answers are as welcome here as any others.
 
Welcome to CarSpace - we're glad to have you, but let's not come in shootin' up the place, okay?

I don't dispute that Canadian questions and comments should be welcome, but jlrharley has a valid (if poorly articulated) point. The forum is meant to provide information about the 2008 model year M. It seems that the last several posts have focused on the price differential between U.S. and Canada, an issue that is not particular to this car. Maybe there should be a separate forum for this issue.

If you don't like the price ... don't buy it. As long as Infiniti can sell the car at that price they will. It's not like there is a "RIGHT" to have equal pricing. Maybe the US is a more competative market for them. They sell it cheaper here and more expensive there and average the difference for their bottom line.
 
Pricing has a lot more to it than the actual cost of the car.

Didn't know where to start a new thread. I'm look at the 08 M35 and found the engine noise intrusive on the test drive. Any comments or data on interior noise?
