$2,500 rebate in Canada to account for US pricing
 

My dealer just told me that they announced today a $2,500 rebate in Canada to people who bought the 2008 X5 (and others?) and paid cash to try to account for the difference in US pricing (I think a 4.8 in the US is cheaper than a 3.0 in Canada). Also if you financed, they reduced the lease rate (to 5.9% I think).

Big frickin' deal! Canadians are still getting ripped off big time. The X5 4.8is starts at US$54,500 while the same vehicle in Canada starts at CD$73,500.

Let me do the math...that's $19,000 difference!!! Try to justify that when the US and CD dollar is on par.:confused:

^ well I was going to say good for them (honestly) but if that's your attitude about it... ;)

BTW, you're not the only ones being "ripped off" in the world.

The price diff is outrageous. Easy 20G diff when you price them out with options. Plus, if you live in Ontario, don't forget about the 14% tax.

We need our economy to go down the gurgler.. houses to be reposessed etc..to get better prices...
