Re:BAD NEWS ON 03 ORDERS

Can you say TAX !!! The import fee on a new vehicle would just about double the price.. US imports are not really an option.. However our used truck market is nil due to the trainloads of trucks headed your way. :<br><br>gerryz<br>There were a couple in OKOTOKS at the dealer there, but not the colour you were asking, one was white the other blue.<br><br>Sorry to hear.. [undecided]<br><br>J-eh

Luke, you forget that these trucks are $10,000 cheaper up here than down in the USA. Do they really take the whole month off in Mexico...surely not ???... ... :'(

Re:BAD NEWS ON 03 ORDERS

The reason new trucks are cheaper in Canada is because DC knows they couldn't sell them at US prices up there with the Canadian dollar being of so much less value than the US dollar. What really bugs me is that they build most of the 2500's in Mexico, where the average assembly line worker makes in a day what his counterpart in the US makes in an hour or so, and then they sock it to US buyers and pocket the difference...and we put up with it! I'm strongly considering a PSD because all production for the US market still comes from Ford's Kentucky truck plant.

I bet they also take siestas in old Mexico. I wonder if they get paid while sleeping?

Cochrane Dodge has about a 100 units sitting on their lot as I type this. Looks to be about every combination going. Worth a phone call.
