What did you pay for your S10 purchased in Canada?

[mingo]

I've been watching Yamaha Canada's website to see it there's any movement on the CDN price of the S10.. They dropped the FJR's MSRP by $4000, so it's a lot closer to the US price.. no movement on the S10's price.

I went to a dealer today and he would not budge off the MSRP of $16449.. not a dime lower.. He said he's giving me a deal: $19000 with HST.

What did you pay for your CDN S10?

Maybe I am wrong but haven't we already discussed this. Any way $15,500. ::002::

full MSRP as a PDP bike, 3 year warranty included. ::002::

 

[rem]

Yep. What he said ... R ::009::

 

[GM4X4]

17200.00 tax in. Tax is at 13%. you guys can do the math

 

[ov1]

$15000 plus taxes, $16950 Total no setup fees, as well 20% off any other items for the bike can be purchased anytime.

You know for the lousy customer service, and lousy bike service, I should go that route.. The dealer near me can't be bothered to even return my call regarding the purchase of this bike. I walked in, told him it's a cash purchase, I've bought a bike from him before.. Give me a bottom line price... "ok, I'll call you"... I guess business must be very good that they can kiss away a sale.. all they care about selling is crotch rockets and cruisers. :

Do Canadian bikes have an immobilizer? I read somewhere US bikes don't.

 

[ov1]

Yes on the immobilzer..

U.S. bikes (S10s) meet all Canadian spec even without the immobilizer. KPHs and Running Lites is all you need. I guess warranty can be an issue but Yamaha is only 1 year anyway and whats the chances of having a problem with a Jap bike? The S10 has been very reliable. Its a good time with our dollar at par or better.

Isn't there another 6.1% duty on that because it's not manufactured in the US, Canada or Mexico? Adding in that plus the $195 RIV fee, you're looking at $14518.50 before taxes, not including the cost of any "hassle" of getting to the US, etc.

I think I just talked myself out of heading to the US. Problem is there, though that list price is $16499 and it looks in the Trader, like some dealers believe these bikes to be rare, which to me means there won't be much/any discounting.

I have yet to approach my local dealer, but will report back when I do.

Mingo,
Perhaps if you add your location to your profile (which is a good idea anyway), one of your CDN brothers could help you with a dealer recommendation for better prices.

Good luck!!

The MSRP was $16.499 for the reserve order event. I don't know how that works but I did hear of some Canadian dealers selling for less. This included an extended three year warranty and a free first service, couple other things. I don't know what this year's crop will be. The taxes vary from Province to Territory. For those of you considering purchasing from the U. S., I was told in no uncertain terms that there is no cross border warranty. It makes sense, as bikes from one country don't even show up in the computers of dealers from the other countries. And if it ain't in the computer, it doesn't exist. There is a bit of paperwork and there is an import duty of some kind. It's not a great deal and you would save money on the actual purchase, once all the dust had settled. But I'd consider it carefully before I signed on. The main thing is to get one. Good luck with it. R

FWIW, I just came back from my local dealership... no discount off MSRP was offered, but he was willing to offer the Yamaha Extended Service extension to 3 years total for half-price. They did not have the bike in stock, but said it'd be less than two weeks from order to delivery. Apparently the Yamaha side cases are backordered as well, which I may affect all of Canada as well.

No Duty on Motorcycles or MC parts from the US, just GST or HST and $195. to get the Cdn Tire inspection. They even bend over backwards to help you at the border crossings and so does RIV Canada. All said and done I saved about $2500. on my S10. Serious coin for farkling! ::001::

Hmmm... I saw how easy it was to import a vehicle a couple of weeks ago when I was in the CBSA office. Fill out the RIV form, pay your taxes, and you're on your way!

If there's no duty, I'm now rethinking this. There's just too much of a price difference between my local dealer and what I can bring one from the US for.

We all bought yamaha for a reason, after all they are not BMW's. ::013::
I bought from the states, no issues what's so ever. Great dealer, and a good deal of money saved.
Yes the warranty may be an issue (fuel pump gasket recall, I got my gasket sent to me, changed it out in an hour myself) If I have some serious issues, i'll take it down to montana, and sort it out, i'm not worried.

So mingo did you buy in the USA or CANADA ?

 

[mingo]

I bought it in the US.

The importation was painless and quick.. Just follow the RIV importer's checklist.


The US Customs check took 5 minutes.
Canada Customs took about 7 minutes, and they never even checked the bike. Paid the GST. No duties or tariffs.
RIV: Rather than wait for Canada Customs to forward the paperwork to RIV, I went there in person after leaving Customs and that took about 10 minutes, and I paid them the $220 fee.
CDN Tire: 5 minutes
MTO: Wait your turn in line, then once called, it took about 10 minutes. Paid the PST.


In total, I saved several thousand dollars. And best part, the local dealer who could care less to sell me didn't make the sale.
