Marketplace Article on Canada Pricing

Hi All,

I'm wondering if any of you saw the recent CBC Marketplace article on the difference in retail prices between Canada and the US. It aired last Friday, February 8.

One of the conclusions they came to was that in many cases, manufacturers are setting prices higher in Canada simply because they always have done so and the market here will bear those prices.

I find this troubling because I feel that prices in Canada are too high and we are being gouged. Its not necessarily the fault of the guys at yuor local dealer, but perhaps the guys at corporate head office who set the prices to begin with.

In any case, I'm interested to know how many of us Canucks imported our Z4 from the US versus how many bought their Z4 here, either new or used.

As for me, my car was imported. I estimate that I saved in excess of $15,000 over buying the car in Canada, when I did the import thing back in 2009.
