Canadian Manual Transmission Allocations

I was driving the highway between Moncton and Fredericton yesterday and passed a westbound car hauler full of Supras. Someone somewhere is about to be very happy very soon!

I ended up cancelling my AZ MT order in Halifax and picked up the Nocturnal MT from the dealer in Moncton last Thursday. So much fun

Congrats! That has been for sale since mid May! The still available blue AT since mid Jun. Crazy that some people wait a long long time for theirs and here were 2, now 1 on the lot waiting for a buyer.

Thanks
I was surprised how long they had the Manual. Even crazier is that the Toyota dealer in Cape Breton has 2 manuals. A Red and a Cu Later. Both have been there for more than 2 months.

I just called them for the Cu later. They can’t sell out of province according to Toyota.
I’m in Alberta

I bet they would if you bought it out right. Financing to extraprovincial buyers would be tough to enforce but I don’t see why they wouldn’t sell you the car if you showed up cash in hand, other than it would be a little suspicious to have that much cash.

I can bring them a bank draft - just as good as cash and safer for both parties

It’s worth asking, trouble is knowing the exact amount you’ll pay before making it out.

I paid cash for mine....

Good for you.

Withdrawing that much cash or walking into a dealer with that much cash will often flag it as a suspicious transaction.

Some dealers refuse to sell for straight cash to protect themselves or just simply because they want the extra profit from a dealer loan.

I’m not saying you can’t buy straight cash or bank draft, but either the bank or dealer is more likely to give you grief in the process.

In my mind you are over thinking this. Maybe I misrepresented a cash deal when I used a bank draft. I have a long established relationship with my bank and a bank draft took me all of 5 minutes to get, no questions asked, other than who to make it out to. The dealer, who didn't know me from Adam, was more than happy to take the draft and give me the keys. Less than 30 minutes to complete all the paperwork and drive away.

Maybe things are different here in the Maritimes but I would be very surprised if a dealer refused a cash/draft offer on any car especially in todays financial climate.

If you’re buying out of province then I would assume there is no relationship with the dealer. It also depends on the vehicle you’re buying.

If you’re using a bank draft then yes, that takes some of the suspicion away.

Does anyone know how the tax rebate works when buying a car in a province with HST and registering it in a province with GST
(Nova Scotia buy - register Alberta )

For what reason? Out of province?

Correct - maybe they can sell it out of province when the model year rolls over
