Do you think the cost of buying a RX330 in Canada will be less expensive then in USA as with most cars?

Just for reference, top of the line Ultra Premium Package in Canada, with ML & everything ,except multi-panel moonroof and Sports Package, is listed at Cad$63,725.00, including Freight & PDI, but before taxes.

At today's exchange rate of 0.7100, that's equivalent to US$45,244.75.

But with 7% PST, 7% GST and 3% luxury tax (totai 17 %), it becomes US$52,936.36

Base Package - Before taxes Canadian$51,435.00 including Freight and PDI, base sound system, with no moonroof, no Nav, no rain-sensing wipers, no wood steering wheels and shift ****, no bird's eye maple trim, no HID, no power back door, no roof rack

Sports Package - Cad $ 57,715.00

Note that the Canadian currency has risen approx. 11% against the U.S $ since beginning of this year.

Luxury tax? Where did you get that number? It must be buried in the MSRP - I have never heard of a luxury tax in Canada. (or am I missing somethig?)

It's true. Any car over $47,000 CDN list price gets hit with an extra 3% tax. And whether or not it's in effect is based on the MSRP, not on the balance less the trade-in. Got slapped with it on my 330 recently...

I'm just glad they got rid of the luxury tax in the US this year. The only extra I paid was our states 4.167% general excise tax and the standard license and doc fees.

I agree, there is no luxury tax charged on vehicles at the point of sale in Canada. There is a air conditioning tax and a fuel consumption tax ( both, however, have nothing to do with the MSRP.

What province do you live in?

Lexterious

British Columbia. Maybe it's local to our province.

That is specific to B.C. I just did a build scenario, on the lexus.ca site, for B.C. and the tax you are referring to is bundled in the "social services tax allocation" in the breakdown. Your PST must be 7% as the social services tax shows a 10% figure. We (Ontario) have a 8% PST but no additional "luxury tax".
