Everyone complains that canada gets screwed on higher prices on the sleds. Well if you compare US dollar value vs Canada dollar value, the sleds are cheaper in canada.
Example 2024 Srx. US price msrp is $20,999. Canada price msrp is $26,499. If you use 03/16/2023 conversion rates, the canada msrp should be $28,841 canadian dollars.
Just stating facts.

Maybe so, but as a Canadian we only use Canadian dollars, not sure if its cheaper but a new Sidewinder after all the added fees and then bullsh*t Taxes is over 30 grand, that would be the actual price payed out of our pockets, The dollar you work for is worth a buck 30 here in Canada

Not trying to start anything, but we pay taxes too. Yamaha has nothing to do with what the different governments add on to all sales. The usa prices should be cheaper if you compare apples to apples. I too wish all sled prices were cheaper.

It’s all over priced if we keep buying they will keep upping price till we stop. Which will never happenMaybe so, but as a Canadian we only use Canadian dollars, not sure if its cheaper but a new Sidewinder after all the added fees and then bullsh*t Taxes is over 30 grand, that would be the actual price payed out of our pockets, The dollar you work for is worth a buck 30 here in Canada
If you build a Chevy pick up on line in the US it come in at about $95,000 same pick up in Canada is $102,000 Makes no sense if you take exchange into account American can come buy the same truck for 30 grand less if they can find a dealer to sell it to them which they won’t
It’s like they price until they slow sales and hold it there and make unbelievable profits dealers say they have no margin to discount. Somebody is making a #*$&@ ton of money
The spread on sleds doesn’t make sense either.
