Isn't that thing like $90k

yeah this is SWB because it doesn't have the extra window

not hard to import a non compliant vehicle if you can claim it's for exhibition, demonstration, etc.

you get a year to have it in the country

I wonder if the VAT refund that applies to shopping in Italy also applies to cars for export

90k CAD pre-VAT/IVA

That ID BUZZ has its own IG handle:

If it is the Euro SWB version, then it is pretty slow -- ~200hp and needs over 10s to get to 100kph. That's probably slower than my 100hp shxtbox LOL~

It's on brand w the original then

Good to know, I thought it came here disassembled, then reassembled as a kit car, kind of like how the R34 GTR from over a decade ago came here supposedly assembled and insured as a kit car

EDIT

Found the thread relating to it, Im Sure there were more posts relating to that specific r34

Apparently tomorrow they are changing the $4,000 provincial rebate on EV cars - the max price that is eligible for the rebate is now $50k which pretty much cuts most cars in the market lol... I guess the moola running low

^Maybe Trudy needs more $$ for his trips to Jamaica.

I was in the market for an EV but literally called today and found out it changes tomorrow lol, sucks for consumers who don't know and find out after

Suck a dick turdeau and provincial government! That’s a brutal move.

What was it currently? $8000?

I think SUV's and Station wagons are currently listed as a "Larger Vehicles" which have a maximum MSRP amount of $70,000 and are now being moved to the "Cars" type which have a maximum MSRP amount of $55,000. Then they are then lowering the "Cars" amount to $50,000 instead of $55,000.

Better get Elon to lower the new China 3 price to $49999 and buy it before scumbag Canada bans it. Wants all EV by 2030, doesn't build charging stations, reduce grants, adds tariffs to China cars, #make Canada great again #white power

Ah fxxk... there goes my window to buy an EV... :(

Federal government has nothing to do with the decisions that the Provincial NDP make

I reached out to a few clients even though it was my day off, putting in deposits so we can grandfather the deal till July 17th.

Shameless plug = we are also paying for GST on all in stock EVs for a 24 hour sale this Friday-Saturday

So for a vehicle like Ioniq 5 Ultimate

Deposit today + finalize deal Friday = $9000 rebate + $3200 GST in savings

Otherwise = $5000 rebate moving forward after the 24 hr sale

Well, you deserve the success for hustling on your day off. :D

I'm on the wait list but haven't heard a peep from my product advisor. I was holding out for the 2025 model - looks like I'll be paying an extra $7200 just for the rear windshield wiper. :cry:

^ Thats $7200 if the 2025 Ioniq 5 have no MSRP increases?

2023 => 2024 was a $2,000 MSRP jump even though the vehicle was 100% a carry over with no changes.

Gumby - is your deposit refundable? will it persuade you to get into a 2024 with delivery before months end @ my dealer?

^
Unfortunately I can't commit with such short notice. I'll PM you with more.

And right on cue, Tesla has already dropped their Model 3 RWD's price to $49,990 LOL~

Nicely done, Elon~ Nicely done LOL~

so does a model Y LR still qualify for a credit b/c it's not a 'car' but a SUV?

All the Model Y is out
starting price have to be below $50,000
Tesla Canada need to drop the price $4000 to qualify.

Good job yi long mah

Say what you want, due to how Tesla is run, it is flexible like this.

Super smart move though, legacies automakers like Hyundai might react, but won't be able to react this fast. Which means once the new rule takes affect, Tesla will once again pretty much have a monopoly on the EV game till the rest catches up which could take months.

Like as bad as a model 3 is... no one is gonna buy a Nissan Leaf with 300KM range over the model 3.

Like our Kona EV Ultimate is only $1,199 over the limit. Which for all things considered $1,200 bucks isn't the end of the world. They would be smart to drop it to be one of the few vehicles that can compete with the Model 3 in terms of feature set and range. But we don't know if Hyundai will drop the MSRP (BC is such a small market in the grand scheme of things) and if they do, how long will it take, how many meetings will it take to get it on the ground
