Threaten to put Syrup in their Turbo's. That'll shake 'em, eh? Then they'll realize you're not their friend, guy. And that they're not your guy, buddy.
( Sorry, I just watched the "Canada on Strike" episode of South Park >_> )

When picking up my Harley in Niagara Falls the dealer told me they arent allowed to sell to Canadians anymore as well. I believe he said it had something to do with the Canadian Harley dealers complaining to the US Harley Corporate.
I am US Military stationed in Canada so it didnt apply to me, I was still registering it in the states. |

Damn it. SOC is ripping us off, and SOA made an issue out of a statistically insigificant amount of transactions. I don't even think it's a warranty issue, as the rules were clearly stated that Canadian buyers of US vehicles would pay for the repairs done in Canada, and then submit the bills to SOA. Not to mention that the price difference exceeds by far any amount of usual warranty repairs.
It's curious though that a purchase of goods can be legally blocked based on the geographical location of the customer's primary residence What about these dudes? http://www.billmcbridesubaru.com/canadian-customers.htm http://www.donksubaru.com/canadian-buyers.htm |

Businesses have the right to refuse to deal with anyone for any reason as long as its not because of race, swx,sexual orientation, religion and a couple other things.

Canadianism is a race, sex, sexual orientation, religion, and several other things besides.

I know it is an unfortunate policy from a Canadian buyer standpoint, but hopefully this helps explain why a US dealer is unable to sell you a new car. |

Tried the dealerships in Miami and was told the same thing. No worries I'll just buy a used wrx instead of instead of spending thousands more at a steelership.

Simple! Knock up your wife. Drive across the border and have baby in the U.S., preferably in Montana, New Hampshire or Oregon (no sales tax on vehicles).....Oh wait that only works for free healthcare and food stamps.... Carry On

Ah yes, blame SOA when it was SCI (Subaru Canada Incorporated, not SOC) that threw a hissy fit when SOA was taking their sales. Do you really think that SOA does not want the sales? Think about it....... BTW this is nothing new, IIRC it goes back to 08 (give or take)
