Same difference....lol

Thanks for the list, you just saved me lots of money on my 8 negotiating.

It's great to have information like this, and thanks again for sharing.

 

Easy way to save time and trouble in calculating. You don;t need lists. They used a fixed margin.

The list prices are 30% margin over the dealer costs.
So, if an item sells for $100 it costs them $70
In other words their cost is 70% of the suggested list price.

They pay freight on that from Ontario.
So if you are in Newfoundland or on Vancouver Island you probably can't get as good a price as from a dealer in Markham..

Also, the alarm upgrade shock sensor is on hold. There is a dealer bulletin out, at least in the USA on this item.

 

Interesting!

Are you sure the frieght isn't delivered to Vancouver first, with the vehicles, or do the parts come seperately directly to Toronto, which would make me think, it probably still arrives in Vancouver first.

 

Mazda Canada stocks their parts in Ontario ( I believe Scarborough, off the top of my head) and ship from there to the dealers.
The stuff does enter the country through Vancouver, or from the USA through whatever port they use for parts, probably west coast.
But their warehousing is in Ontario.

 

Ya this makes alot of sense. Mazda ships the products from the west coast to Toronto, then ships it out again from there, oh and while they're at it, they increase the price to cover the shipping and handling.

Doing business with Japn should be done in Vancouver, not Toronto.

For those MAZDA executives out there watching this forum, and I know you do, WAKE UP

 

Tell me abut it.. Unfortunately that is the way most stuff is distributed in Canada.

We build computer equipment in our business, and we too are totally frustrated with that whole "Toronto is the centre of the universe" bullshit.

 

No problem. Happy to help out my fellow owners.
