Tomcat Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Can anyone recommend web sites that provide information on new vehicle prices in Canada? In the USA, there are sites like http://www.edmunds.com/ or http://www.carsdirect.com/home or http://www.kbb.com/ Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setomonkey Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Can't you just use those sites and convert the prices from US to CAD? Or am I incredibly naive and there's a big difference in car prices between the States and Canada... Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnsled Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 GMC Crew cab USA MSRP - $18,760.00, Canadian MSRP - $23,370.00 For the same truck at the base model. This is just comparing the 2 GM sites. More to it then just converting the currency I think. I'm no expert in this by any means. Sorry I don't know of a Canadian site. Someone might be able to help you out here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guidofisherman Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 I used CarCostCanada: http://carcostcanada.com/1/en/default.asp I took the following from their site. CarCostCanada Wholesale Price Reports include: Retail prices of the base vehicle and all factory installed options selected Wholesale invoice prices of the base vehicle and all factory installed options selected Current advertised Factory Incentive Programs (where available) Current non-advertised Factory Incentive Programs (where available) Local, low-cost, real-time dealer quotes (where available) Standard features of the Model Style selected Manufacture Warranty Transport Canada fuel economy (where available) Remember, there is a price for this service but I found it valuable when I finally got serious and wanted to know what the actual vehicle cost was. I have used them in the past to get a wholesale price that helped when I made the purchase. At lease I knew what the actual price was. Good luck.

Carp Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 I called on the phone or just went to the dealership in person. Made the best deal I could and got it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walleyejigger Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 if you know what your looking for (with options and test drive) just email all the dealers exactly what your looking for and let the prices and deals come in and forward them to each other until the bidding stops, it'll start with prices and then with extras, when you get a deal your happy with all you'll have to do is sign the papers, that's what i did as i'm not much of a haggler either, if they try and screw you you have it all in writing, they "omitted" a few things on the invoice when i went to sign but i noticed them, i told him that wasn't what we agreed upon, took a few minutes of standing my ground but they came around and in my opinion came out with a very good deal with only one trip to a dealer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
