Unions have negotiated such rich contracts with governments that they are running out of ideas on what to ask for in the next contract in order to justify the dues they collect. They have to come up with creative ideas.

I see no issues. Perfectly normal and healthy.

Thanks for the explanation, if we are competing with the world for C8 allocations, my dream of new C8's sitting on Canadian car dealer lots may be a long way off yet. There are a good number of used ones for sale and prices are slowly coming back down to earth.

In Saskatchewan you cannot avoid paying the 6% PST whether you buy from a dealer or privately. They get you when you register the vehicle. However, you only pay GST when you buy new or used from a dealer. If I buy a used car privately I don't pay the GST so I save 5%. GST is a federal tax so...

Thanks for the explanation, your method makes sense. You are still better off reducing the price by 5% as dealers always want to give you wholesale for your car on a trade so they can make a profit selling it instead of you.

Why will we get less in 2024? I thought with the huge price increase for Canada that GM would have incentive to ship more to Canada? I also thought the USA market was in balance for Supply vs Demand, so GM could ship more to the rest of the world? These are just my thoughts and hopes as I'm...

Typer 100 - GM made over 50,000 corvettes last year, very close to a record number. Barring any production issues, I suspect they will make another 50,000 in 2024. Selection of both new and used should increase dramatically this year. If you are not in a hurry, wait for the right car for you...

Taxes are different in every province, however, if you do an accommodation through a dealer could the buyer end up having to pay PST or GST that they would not have to pay if the deal was private?

Good to hear that truck inventories are back to pre-covid levels. I've been waiting for some good old fashioned rebate offers and low interest financing like we had in the good old days before covid. Now, if we could just have C8 inventory that the dealerships needed of offer incentives in...

This thread is for the general discussion of the classified ad C6 Dual Mode mufflers. Please add to the discussion here.

Blame it on inflation!

I’m hoping the USA market will soon be saturated with C8 Stingrays so they can export more to Canada and other countries. As for the Z06, it’s going to be a long wait.

First you ask a dealer to put your name on their wait list, you could do this with multiple dealers, just make sure if they require a deposit that it is refundable. It could take up to two years before you put your order in specifying all the options you want. Once you put your order in your...

I agree, most used C8's are still $20 to 30K above MSRP. One thing to keep in mind is that in most provinces you have to add 11 to 15% for PST + GST plus any dealer admin fees to MSRP to get the actual cost of the car paid by the original purchaser. In your example the MSRP is $95,733 plus 13%...
