US advertises in local paper
« on: October 26, 2007, 10:25:42 am »
I was breezing the classifieds & saw a big picture ad in the local paper. The prices of the cars seemed 30% low at least. I read at the bottom & noticed the local US dealer was advertising Canadian approved vehicles in the local paper; plus they would look after all the paper work! I can see local dealers pulling their ads!

What do you mean by "local US dealer"? Which brands? New vehicles?

And what is your location?
If you add to your profile, I would not need to ask :)

That's funny (and kinda pathetic, for the Canadian dealers....).  I love it!

What US state is the the dealer located in?

What's a little competition between neighboring states/provinces?  Can't hurt.  :)
