Motorcycle Forum / General / Yamaha / July 2004Yamaha Fleecing Canadian Customers?
It appears that Yamaha dealers in Canada sell accessories at a price that is much higher than what the American web site for Yamaha advertises, exchange rate factored in. Example: Chrome lowers: $94.95 = $125CAD (according to xe.com) Yet, two seperate dealers in my region are asking $174.95. Pretty heafty markup, if you ask me. -- Nostalgia isn't what it used to be. >Example: > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >Yet, two seperate dealers in my region are asking $174.95.

Provincial and Federal taxes I would have to pay anyway. But maybe $25CAD for USPS shipping, plus $5 for "handling" by our customs folks (the same idiots who can't detect all the guns coming in). So I could save $20. Not worth it, imho. On the other hand, I'm about 2.5 hours from Watertown, as the bike rolls. Any good shops in Watertown? -- Nostalgia isn't what it used to be. >>>Example: >>> [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] >On the other hand, I'm about 2.5 hours from Watertown, as the bike >rolls.

When you run out of hills to roll down and get tired of pushing it you end up putting your hand in your pocket. I'm turning that way myself. Think i'll move to San Fransico. Got married there last year. Bizarre how it feels like a home from home when i grew up in Scotland. |
