WTF IS going on with H2 prices???

[MDimitri]

Yesterday I went in to see if i could trade my 2003 Adventure series in for a 2008 H2, I was told that all I would get for my rig was $29,000CDN...HUH?? WHAT?? F..K That!!! The I did some digging...If you go to and search out the price difference between a brand new 2008 H2 in Canada and the exact same unit in the USA there is one F..K of a price difference!!! Here is a couple of examples:

Canadian 2008 H2 pricing
Canadian MSRP $69,535

USA 2008 Hummer H2 Pricing
USA MSRP $56,410

Thats a difference of $13,125!!! for the same truck, HOLY S..T!!

Here is an interesting fact for my Canadian brothers, the Canadian Blackbook that all dealerships use to evaluate your vehicle when you trade it in is based on USA trade in prices!! If you look up a used H2 in Canada and check it's value against the exact same unit in the US you will see that they are on par...why is that??? considering the price difference the used vehicle here in Canada should be worth 20-25% more. Anyone able to explain this to me?
Don't even think of saying it's because of GST... Another good F..KOVER is the addon's, most of the additional items we like adding to our trucks come from the US so why the F..K are they on average 30-40% more up here?

The only logical answer I can think of is that the dealerships have been playing a game of conspiracy against us the Consumer. I've been waiting for the vehicles to start leveling off in price so that when I was ready to go buy a new one I'd have a bit more buying power...not bloody likey!

Here is a Comaprison between a 2007 H2 SUV with Option package 1SC

Canadian 1SC package Price should be $85,000

USA 1SC Package At the US site you need to enter the package 1SC manually before you get the end total. Price should be around $62,000

Holy F..K!!!
