Obvious question with the Cdn $$

derwin · 09-21-2007, 12:36 PM

Any hope that we might see a price break in the near future? MSRP seems to be way out of wack at this point.
Oh sure there are some Canadian differences, but not $5700 worth. Looking to get in with the next model year.
Buying in the US is an option (I see other threads on this) but the no warranty thing is a major downer.

nah we wont see a price break.
there is always going to be the 23% price markup.
It sucks but what can ya do

We pay more for EVERYTHING in Canada, even stuff that was made here!

As far as having no warranty, it's my understanding that GM/Saturn provides warranty after six months, or 12,000 k's after importation to Canada.

Incorrect, if you buy the car, you must keep it in either Canada or USA for 6 months, then export, but they don't have to know you exported it, just keep the same plates on until the 6 months. Saturn will continue to warranty the car where ever it is.
Case and point, mine is from Ontario and I live now in South Carolina, all warranty work is always covered.

Check Carburner.com for details involving warranty for GM/Saturn vehicles being imported to Canada. My post was based on their facts.

The warranty in Canada for a U.S purchased car is valid after 6 months AND 12,000 Kilometres from the time the car was first put on the road. I just brought a car back from Florida that was 5 1/2 months old. I have hit both marks and had service honoured here in Ontario no problem.
