stuff that catches my eye

Does the bottle of Mountain Dew come included in the purchase?

I'm sure you could likely get at least one new bottle tossed in the deal. Not a bad looking truck but I couldn't stomach 25k.

I always thought Canadian dollars were about half of USD, not 1/4 of USD per dollar.

Yea that's nearly $5400, a little more than $1500

Still makes it a nice deal nowadays, no doubt

...and then...
AND THEN...
There's this...
...THIS!
Such B.S!!! They've already collected tax on the vehicle when it was sold new.
But they (Big Brother) then collect even more on each & every subsequent sale of each & every vehicle sold here.

Provincial Sales Tax (PST) = 7%. (Collected by the Provincial Gov. & remains within the province. Theoretically.)
Goods & Services Tax (GST) = 5% (Collected by the Gov. of Canada.)

From the B.C. Gov.'s website.

• If you buy a used car in British Columbia, expect to pay between 12 and 20% in sales tax, depending on the car’s value and where you purchase it.
• If you buy the car from a dealer, federal Goods and Services Tax (GST) is charged at a rate of 7%.
• Provincial sales tax (PST) is also charged at a rate of 7% for vehicles less than $55,000, which increases by 1 percent for each additional $1,000 for vehicles above $57,000, up to a maximum of 10 percent.

GST does not apply to used vehicles sold privately, but a 12% PST is charged on those.

Did you catch that?
PST + GST = 12%
There is NO GST on used vehicles.
But the PST is bumped up to 12%.
WTF'nF? The Canadian gov. decides to give us a bit of a break, but the yokels figure we're already paying 12% on every-t-h-i-n-g, so they might as well dive right in there & scoop up that extra 5% because, hey, nobody's really gonna notice anyway.

That truck would have another $816.00 Cdn. ($645.57 US) added (grabbed!) for a total of...
$7616.00 Cdn. or $6025.25 US.
Still, not a bad deal for a fairly low mileage truck.
If it was a C1500 & accordingly, around $1000.00 cheaper, I'd be on my way to go look at it.

Apologies for the rant. Kind of a soft-spot.

have you seen the new tax rules for privately purchased vehicles?
short story, GOV sets purchase price, regardless of what you actually paid.
you get a great private deal, they tax you more .....

First, beautiful formatting

Yea... we get that here in Texas too. "Only" 6.25%. The real gotcha here is that you pay sales tax on the full price at the beginning of a lease and again on the residual if you decide to purchase after the lease
