So I have been browsing for cars and have my eyes set on the Volkswagen Golf 2011. What annoys me is how much more expensive it is in Canada than the United States.
$23,600 CDN while the same car in the USA costs $21,585 USD.
Prices in USD:
Car in Canada | Car in the United States |
---|---|
$23,427 | $21,585 |
Then, there are the higher taxes and other fees. Another thing that is interesting is that the VW Golf 2011 comes with automatic transmission STANDARD, while the same car in Canada makes you pay $1,400 to get automatic.
I considered importing from the States, but the import fees and other taxes would make the effort not worth it.
It's just kind of annoying... you know? I know there are a lot of Canadians out there, so does this upset people? Or are you guys content with your free healthcare and stuff?
