U.S. citizens that purchase a vehicle in an HST-participating province in Canada (BC, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia and Ontario) must pay the HST on the purchase price. These purchases are not eligible for the HST rebate (refer to our blog post of August 27, 2010). (more…)

Due to the dramatic drop in leasing over the past few years, there are less good off-lease vehicles available in the used car market. That would mean less off-lease vehicles are going through the auction, which is probably a good explanation why new-vehicle dealerships are taking more trades in 2010 than for the same period last year.

A Canadian event for automotive dealers, planned for September in Toronto promised great speakers and more. To remain committed to deliver an event that promised a strong mix of dealers and sponsors, the organizers canceled CADEX today due to a lower than targeted ratio of attendees. If you would like to attend a world-class event right here in Canada, please leave a comment to the Canadian Auto Dealer online publication article and let them know what topics, attractions, speakers would compel you to an event of this magnitude. Rally together, tell the organizers what you want, they will provide it…you just need to let them know what that is!
