Pricing and DealersDiscussions that are specific to vehicle pricing, preferred dealer pricing, current incentives, rebates, and experiences.
This is a discussion thread titled "More about exports", within the Pricing and Dealers forum, part of the Marketplace Forums category.
just to add one thing , it is not racist to Canadians. US dealers cant export to anyone, not just Canada. Canadians are the only ones that make a big fuss about it but I was asked to ship a new truck to Vietnam yesterday. I cant do that either. As a matter of fact, We cant even get mso's to ship to Hawaii anymore. FYI, I am half Canadian so I sure wouldnt be racist to a Canadian

Toyota and certain other auto manufacturers are only allowing a certain population to purchase their vehicles, the rest are excluded. That seems discriminatory to me especially when the respective governments permit such a transaction.
The only flaw in the statement is that you said Toyota wont allow you to purchase their vehicles , when in fact that is false. They sell Toyotas in Canada. So again, how can that be racist

Discrimination and your original charge of racism are not the same thing. I discriminate all the time. Just this morning, I discriminated against Cheerios in favor of Frosted Flakes. Last night, I discriminated against CBS news in favor of Fox. None of that is illegal nor immoral. To call anything that doesn't go your way a racist act is to minimize true racism.
What we are talking about is a contract between a car dealer and the car manufacturer and contracts between distributors. Toyota is fulfilling its obligations to all parties with which it has contracts. Those contracts were meant to keep dealers from going out of business each time the value of the US dollar fluctuated against other currencies.
US dealers, including myself, would love to sell to Canadians right now. Sales to Americans are horrible right now. At the moment, its in our best interest to have that ability. Ten years ago, that wasn't the case. Back then, the US dollar was very strong and we lost sales to Canadian dealers until Toyota caught on and beefed up enforcement of its rules under the contracts.
Haha... I love reading your posts!
