Looks like local companies are feeling the pinch. Advertising they are lowering pricing. Must be sticker fraud in here. Canadian $25,919 for a Dodge Grand Caravan, US MSRP - $1000 incentive is $21,470 from dodge.com. It might be better but not good enough. I think that pricing is backwards. While some vendors are detecting Canadian Internet IP addresses, and giving different prices, beware. There is a lot of fraud going on. I can appear to come from a US IP address and routinely bypass their games to see two different views. Don't buy into this. Being Chrysler is not cross border friendly consider Ford which is not against this. In fact, Ford has closed the gap web wise, but still is worth a cross border stroll. Forget GM, Toyota and Honda, they are in a $2B lawsuit over this. Time to let them know, we are not going to take price fixing and price gouging. http://www.economist.com/business/displaystory.cfm?story_id=10104868 Do your research, there is a lot of paid FUD going on in the anti-cross-border shopping thing.
