Car Forum / Ford / Ford Mustang / November 2007Dear Ford: Time to end the price "ass-rape" of Canadians
Because Chrysler has. Our dollar is now $1.05 U.S. A Mustang in Canada SHOULD NOT cost $39,000 for a GT and $28-$29K in the U.S. Get the point, or get the f--- out of business. > Because Chrysler has.

It should cost exaclty what people are willing to pay. It is a luxury and unnecessary item. If canadians quit paying that price then the price will lower. I agree. We should all stop buying Fords and Motocraft part.. >>Because Chrysler has.

With that fact in the way, there isn't going to be a whole bunch of "marketplace persuasion" to be found. I settled on working at a Ford dealer because I've had Fords for many, many years and have very few (if any) truly bad experiences (maybe a few that were self-inflicted back when I was an apprentice and "knew everything"). I continue to purchase Fords in spite of the pricing vagaries.... Well that and my Dad was a Dodge guy then a GM guy and he and I could never see eye to eye.... Back in the 50's, the CAD was worth a buck7 'Murican and we had some serious buying power.... Now, the marketplace has realized that Canada just about gives her raw mateials away and has become a nation of consumers... We are reaping the rewards of years of Liberal governments. Eliach... pretend I cut everything below this line..... >> Because Chrysler has.

Real "liberals" don't like the whole globalization thing.

I just did a search on other new vehicle manufacturers sold in Canada both foreign and domestic, they are all priced similarly higher in Canada, not just Ford!!!! >> Because Chrysler has.

Chrysler, according to all accounts is supposed to be at parity now. Many mfgs are following suit. How can they not be, the dollar is worth $1.07 U.S. now. > On Nov 2, 12:30 am, "Nicholas Anthony" <nospamfo...@soptonline.net> > wrote: [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > Many mfgs are following suit.

Trust me I feel your pain however it should not be directed at Ford alone. Perhaps there are other reasons involved like the Government of Canada placing surcharges on all vehicles? >> On Nov 2, 12:30 am, "Nicholas Anthony" <nospamfo...@soptonline.net> >> wrote: [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > directed at Ford alone.

The Canadians have to fund their socialized medicine and their muti-billion dollar failed gun registry and other a bigger government WILL make your life better schemes, where do you think those BILLIONS of dollars come from anyway? >>> On Nov 2, 12:30 am, "Nicholas Anthony" <nospamfo...@soptonline.net> >>> wrote: [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > better schemes, where do you think those BILLIONS of dollars come from > anyway? Oh please, not this crap again. A recent congressional study just found private plans will cost Americans an extra $15-billion in 2007 over what the gov't could have done. Google it man. I wouldn't be surprised at surcharges - but was the Candian built Camaro any cheaper than in the US? I doubt it. Whatever happend to Free Trade anyway?

Bigger government won't make your lives better, unless you are a loafer!! The dark secret about Socialists Governments, the don't raise the your standard of living, they drag everyone down to the lowest common denominator! That EXTRA cost is not being charged by the car manufactures! Doh! It is Canada's "Socialist Taxes" added on by your own Socialist Government! Google it MAN! Pull your head out of your a.s! A bottle of Finlandia Vodka, produced and bottled in Finland, costs 4 times as much off the shelf in "Socialist" Finland, than that same bottle of Finlandia Vodka, produced and bottled in Finland, costs off the shelf in the good old USA. The USA made Ford Mustang in Finland costs fully 4 times what it does at MSRP here in the good old US of A. That is not Ford charging that difference, it the "Socialist Taxes" added by Finland, an actual Socialist government. Your cars cost more in Canada because your Socialist bent government has to fund itself somehow. You paying Socialist "surcharges" on all of your products is why Canada standard of living as a whole is lowered across the board so every Canadian can help carry the weight of the loafers. I have Fully Funded my own private health insurance since 1988. I'm not crying about it, why are you? It is a fact, the health care available in the USA puts that available in Canada to shame, again unless you are a loafer. It is documented fact wealthy Canadians seek their healthcare in the USA, not in the Socialist (lowest common denominator) Canadian system. Google it MAN! Canada's Socialist "Surcharges" is what happened to FREE TRADE, fer cryin out loud. Google it MAN! |
