Just a perspective for the US folks.
These prices sound very high, but also note that on average, a Canadian doing the same work will be payed a lessor dollar number than a US counterpart.
Often Canadian manufactured products, after exchage rate adjustments, cost more in Canada than the same units shipped into the US. Then the sales taxes... In Ontario the taxes will be 15% and add a $100 fee for air conditioning. And finacing interest rates will as a rule be higher than in the US.
So there are 3 significant factors which make vehicle ownership in Canada painfull.... did i mentions gas at 60 to 80 cents per quart (liter)?
Don't forget the cost of lots of road salt.
