Breitbart article
« on: September 22, 2007, 11:39:29 am »
I was reading a breitbart.com article that I got to from a link on the Drudge report that mentioned a Bank of Montreal study. The article was about the Loony hitting par on Thurs and staying up yesterday. It mentioned a BMO report that said cars were 24% higher in Canada? That seems at odds with other reports indicating much less of a difference for most cars? ???

I think it depends on the classes of cars they are comparing.

My understanding is that the price difference is much less for lower priced cars, and more or much more with higher priced, luxury brands, etc.

That is correct in my understanding. My ordered car was about $15K cheaper in the US but there is a compelling reason why it will be bought in Canada. Really high end stuff like Ferrari, Bentley, upper end Porsche are considerably cheaper Stateside. And used exotics are way cheaper.
