Yes, we Canadians get it right in the jewels when it comes to new vehicle MSRP pricing and options selection.
For example only the leathered seat, touring model is the only model available in Canada with the options of sport package and/or navigation. We don't get to choose the cheaper priced base model, as it's N/A, not available, as in you want what??, or are you kidding me?, there are no cloth seats available for the luxurious sport Z ( you laugh ...... I've actually heard this from a Canadian Nissan salesperson!)
Another thing is that the cost difference between dealer invoice price and MSRP is HUGE ........ at least $5,000 or in some cases more!
Unfortunately getting the stealership to deal up from invoice pricing is very difficult and most stealers want to deal from the MSRP price.
I swear, I turn purple, holding my breath, when a Nissan salesperson chastises me because I've purchase something in the USA, instead of Canada. I pity the poor salesperson when I finally explode
