My dealer "just across the boarder" has had his wrist slapped and is no longer able to sell to Canadians. They will honor deals that were already in the works. That is me as I have a $500.00 deposit on a 2008 crew max TRD for 39k and change. I am losing sleep at night trying to decide if I want to take the 40k risk of bringing the truck into the country and then not being able to register/insure it for who knows how long - if ever. I am not real rosey with going with the word a Transport Canada employee gave me over the phone.
Local dealer here called me this am to advise they have 08 pricing. $44,850.00 for a 08 crew max off-road (TRD) package. That is within a couple hundred $ of the late production 07's they have sitting on the lot. The other issue is the finance rate, they will confirm later today bet they are 99% sure the interest rate for 08's will be 5.9% where the current rate for 07's is 3.9.
They have an 07 Limited on the lot with a sticker price of 53k that they are willing to sell me for 47k and chnage. Don't like leather - hot in the summer and cold in the winter, but it is a good deal.
I am torn what to do!

WHAT? only a few hundred off for the 08 canadian pricing??? tell me that you made a mistake....I have been waiting for weeks for Toyota Canada to announce 08 tundra pricing......If that is the case, Toyota can take a flying leap...I will not pay 10K more than our US friends....I will look at other manufactures who have adjusted their pricing.....
