This doesn't in any way make the car cheaper in Canada, only cheaper if we Canadians factor in the horrid exchange that it would cost to buy same in the US. I run a busines that deals exclusively in US funds and, if I could, I would purchase the car in the US as the options for better pricing are much more significant there. In fact, if you watch, the bigger US dealers are advertising 2015s in stock at 6000 below, and this is before Supplier pricing which is accepted in the US, but not in Canada. In fact, we lose out on any opportunity to deal or get the benefits that are seen regularly in the US.
The ONLY think that has occured here is that Chevrolet has dropped pricing of the Canadian Corvette substantially in the past two years to keep us from running to the US for such a purchase. This is not in any way a benefit to us, simply for the fact that Canadians have to fight to get an allocation in most cases.
GM has done this by including a rate of exchange (when we calculate the difference between Cdn and US base prices) that is significantly lower than the rate of exchange if we were to look over at a US purchase.
Let's look at it this way.... If we were dollar for dollar US/Canada again, what would be the better deal. IMO You can't use the rate of exchange balancing act to try to claim we have cheaper pricing when GM has already back doored us into a purchase that is significantly higher at days end. And then.... look at the pricing of things such as options, delivery etc.
We still get raked!
Oh I forgot... let's also include the fact that we can't get 1.99% financing in Canada on a new Corvette and add 3% onto that with GM. Take a look at these deals:
http://www.kerbeck.com/ ... So you are getting around 5K off, they are accepting supplier and employee pricing...and then you can get it at 1.99% for 72 months...
Oh... and if all that doesn't grab ya... How about 8K off of all remaining in stock 2014 vettes?
