It's the same as the Toronto Maple Leafs man, as long as people are willing to pay to fill every seat the price isn't too high. As long as BMW keeps making their sales targets, the prices aren't too high...

Good post OP. Do not worry about the mindless herd that are telling you that if you do not like the system, then do not buy a BMW.
It is always good to question why we are paying higher prices. |

It would also be interesting to see what a judge would say about BMW suing an individual or company for reselling a product for which they owned title! It's not like a CD or book, where ownership of the contents is maintained by the author/musician/publisher. Once a car is purchased (for cash), the manufacturer has no rights to that vehicle. |

YOU may be comparing the Cdn. to the U.S. markets. We, however, are comparing Cdn. BMW cars to U.S. BMW cars and they are identical vehicles at vastly different prices.

Fridays globe has Canadian price for new 1M at $6000 more for identical car in US. THATS wrong while Porsche etc have lowered their prices. They still arent equal but much better.

I can't imagine BMW suing my cousin in NH for buying a car and reselling it to me. I'd LOVE to see that hit the courts. R |

I'm American so I can buy in the US but I don't have a NH/Delaware/OR address. The idea is to avoid having to pay ANY US tax because we'll pay taxes in Canada and we don't need double taxation. |

The cost of pretty much everything is higher in Canada than it is in the States. I'll put it this way, if I lived in many areas of the U.S. right now, I'd be living in a large house with a 997 out front and a 40 ft. boat parked at the marina! Instead I live in a 1,000 sq ft. 2 bedroom condo in Vancouver, no 997 in the driveway and no boat in the marina. Living in Vancouver (and in the rest of Canada to varying degrees) is a ripoff in many more ways than just the car prices...

I have thought a lot of the US vs Canada model and basically, the bottomline is that Canada is a closed economy. As a result, consumer fees are high (cars, insurance, communication bills, bank fees etc etc) but jobs are stable (unions, pro-employee labor laws).....the tradeoff of living in Canada is a more "stable" life vs the US where over a lifetime people will have more ups and downs. But their "reward" or trade-off is cheaper stuff and a competitive economy. |

And as for other posters, it's all in how you negotiate.

South Carolina, South Africa & China. To the best of my knowledge, the Canadian 3 Series cars are from Germany. All I am saying is that we both can get German made 3 Series vehicles. Therefore, we are comparing apples to apples on pricing. |
