I think a bit under 35K--at least I hope. Move to Alberta---no PST

Sweeet... Seriously going to consider getting one of these for a second car.

Isn't the Canadian Dollar almost up to like 0.9 or something like that, so technically dealerships are ripping Canadians off?

a pretty much fully loaded Redline we are expecting to pay 32-33 out the door after tax license etc... thats with all the options, but we are overshooting just in case...

i wonder if it has A/C

R377

Yes. Some cars, like compacts and minivans, are priced quite reasonably for Canadians, sometimes even cheaper than in the US. But anything with a hint of fun we get screwed on. For example a Vette is about $70k up here.

To be fair, when our dollar was worth 62 cents our car prices didn't go sky high to compensate so I suppose we're just looking at the other side of the coin now. Plus you can't expect automakers to adjust their prices every time a currency swings.

My beef is that whatever pricing philosophy the automakers want to use, it should be applied across the board. Pricing Uplanders at par but gouging us an extra 40% on a Vette is not right.

So how on earth do they add all of that stuff for less than $2k to the base price? ($24,090 for solstice and $25,995 for GXP)

anasazi

where are you getting $24,090 for a base price from?

TQdrivenws6

Actually I was looking at Pontiacs website...

Goto http://www.pontiac.com
Click on Solstice
Look at Base MSRP

Just looks like a typo. I thought that number looked pretty high for a base Solstice. When you click "Build your Solstice" it says $20,490 Base MSRP.

I just did some searching and found this at Edmunds...

Don't dealerships now already charge more than 25k for a regular solstice with their "market adjustment" ?

Threxx

Yeah the regular solstice starts at 20,490 - that's a typo on their website. A serious typo.

That's why I said '5500 difference'

AAAAAAA

Here are a few examples of the US price, what it would come up to with the echange and the canadian price

350 z 27650.00 u.s 46198.00 cdn 31052.31 exchange

corvette 44490.00 u.s 67805.00 cdn 49964.45 exchange

Are there import taxes or something? Is the destination charge really high? There's got to be more reason that just straight markup for such a consistent bump in price.

AAAAAAA

BTW, if you do the math in revers, a corvette that costs 67805$ in canada converts to 61190$US... Maybe that would put it into perspective for you US guys.

As for import fees I dont know, the camaro use to be built up here anda loaded drop top would be 50 000$... dont know what they went for in US though.
