At current exchange rates, the US car is only $62K in Canadian Dollars - $15K cheaper.
Why are cars here (in Canada) so much more expensive than in US?  |
I read a couple of the helpful responses and had to laugh. Porsche is not the only car that is cheaper in the states. It's a fact of life across the board. The car companies do not adjust their prices for exchange rates every month or year. It's more like every 5 years. Just 3 years ago with a 25% exchange rate in favour of the USA it was cheaper to buy any car in Canada. We were shipped any used car we could find state site. This has changed and we now are paying the price. Oh and we have many other things that cost a lot because of our health care system. But oddly enough, in any economy there are those that can buy Porsches and those that can't.
I like reading this forum because you can pretty well say anything that come to mind. If you're looking for good local Porsche info contact your local PCA. I plan on purchasing my next classic Porsche in LA and trucking it back to Canada.
