    Wow $47,437.50 Canadian, that's over 11,000$ more than MSRP in Canada. Now I know the Nav is an expensive option but 11 grand! I've heard that there is a bit of a makeup BUT that's freekin unreal.

    That's $11K over sticker USD, too. Add in tax, title, ect, and you're paying $41,000 for a $26500 car.

    Obviously you all misunderstand!! Look at the Options Installed. THOSE must account for the #11K markup :roll:

    I found it on Autotrader and sent this email -

    You REALLY did make an $11,000 error on the price, right? And I can't help but notice that the "Options Installed" are ALL standard on the base model. Perhaps if you fix up this ad, you might have a chance to sell the car.

    Let's see if Mr. Dean replies. He'll probably be VERY happy his error was found so he can fix it, right?

    To heck with my 401K; I'll just sell my Prius and make 42%. This takes the proverbial cake.
