It is impacted strongly by the pricing environment. IMHO, US customs don't believe the S in MSRP stands for suggested; they tend to want to work from invoice. Fair enough. That doesn't apply here. We can get discounts off of retail, but they are much smaller discounts than US posters regularly talk about.
I require my dealer to invest in customer service, and my satisfaction. Sure, there are dealers with high prices and poor service, essentially a lose-lose. But paying more up front does allow those dealers who want to excel in service to do so. My dealer is the largest volume seller in Canada, and keeps that spot based on the customer experience.
