yea a guy i golf with that lives in the uk always waits till he comes over here to buy his clubs. he saves a ton not just with the cheaper us prices, but with the exchange rates too.

check out european prices.they also are much higher than here.taxes,import tariffs,volume buy,overhead, payroll taxes etc all play a role in final product pricing.

this i know, i bought my 04 superjet brand new, stock, while i was still living in the uk it cost me the equivalant of $10,500

even a/m parts are significantly higher, new b-pipe is basically around $1,200 in the uk

steve you might tell him we live in a global economy now and they had better see the writing on the wall if they want to stay in the game. then again, how much of a riding season do you have up there? I guess its equal parts, jetskis-4wheelers-snowmobiles? eh? lol

riding season is end april/biginning may til around october best case

its a short season but you will see far more sea doos out there than yamahas, most of the dealers offer seadoo plus yamaha or kawasaki, they will push sea doo over yamaha or kawasaki every time

even on 4-wheelers and snow mobiles the price differential is there

Think that is why you see ski's here being sold over in Europe. Pick up a good used build SJ here for same price as a lesser setup over there.

You must know nothing about government run health care up here. In short, its pretty awful. Anything more then a broken bone, cut requiring stitches, etc. you are looking at a long wait for the minimal services offered. There is a waiting list for everything - Detroit has more MRI's then Canada does total. Plus, make any money in this country and you will be taxed >50% of your income. If you guys down south want to see a preview of what state run health care will do to your country, just take a look up here.

The government can't run anything efficiently, I don't know where people got the idea that they can from.
