Newbie here,
I was out today pricing out a baseline Honda Civic with my grandson.
Part of the pricing included an A/C tax and the car doesnt even have a/c. When I asked the salesperson why, all he said is everyone must pay this tax whether or not they have a/c. I find this outrageous, paying for something that I dont have. I should mention that I am from Canada. Can anyone please give me the logic or reasoning behind this rather than an answer like "everyone has to do it"

Thanks

 

that is rather shocking!!but why in hell u should get charged a tax when you buying a car without an A/C. it does not make sense whatsoever u might want to try someplace else(dealer)!

 

It wouldnt matter going to a different dealer. The taxes are built right in under (taxes and levies) at the Honda Canada site when you build a car.
Can no one give me a reason for this. No Honda Canada reps on this site???

 

thats stinks. does it apply to used cars as well?

 

it wouldnt if you buy from another person instead of a dealer!!

 

Thank god the US doesn't have that. Sales tax is enough. Thats why I like to buy used cars from individuals.

 

Unfortunately for Canadians, this is one of the many ways they fund their socialized medicine.

 

i would prefer an a/c tax than a sales tax, sales tax cost way more!
