Canadian MSRP
:agree
If any other Canadians are on this thread, please post information, or email me. I'm out of the country for two weeks, but I've been dealing with GM Customer relations for the last two months on this, and I've got a letter ready to go to Michael Grimaldi, president of GM Canada. Several purchasers with the same concern would carry more impact than my lone voice in the wilderness. If anyone is interested, I can fill them in on what my experience with GM has been like so far.
. Canadian MSRP is 69995. US is 41995. At current exchange rates, MSRP should be in the $56000 range. Pricing is out of whack by at least $14000. I've been in contact with several dealers - they aren't too thrilled either. I'll be looking in the US for a truck. GMCustomer Relations is aware of it, and I've received several calls from them - they really want to know who I would use as a servicing dealer. The only weapon they have at this stage is to block warranty, because all checks with the government agencies involve indicate there are no barriers to import. I think they were trying to make sure Canadian SSR's didn't go to the US - it was a major problem with Duramax trucks. but they didn't account for the rapid change in exchange rates.
I have charted MSRPs on the XLR, Avalanche, Escalade, Impala, and none have anywhere near the price discrepancy - I couldn't buy a XLR in the US and come out ahead.
Back in two weeks - I'll check back then.
