You and Me and the HST in BC

The British Columbia HST Tax has been out for quite some time now, and not much has changed with regard to Recreational Vehicle Sales. Before we had the Harmonized Sales Tax we had a 7% Provincial Tax and a 5% Federal Tax, 12% same today. Pre-HST when you traded a vehicle in on your purchase you paid both taxes on the difference, same deal now. I don’t think people pay enough attention to trade in tax savings. If you purchase a $50,000.00 unit and you get $35,000.00 for your trade, you will only have to pay tax on the $15,000.00 difference. That means a tax savings of $4,200.00 on the trade value, unless you pay cash and sell your trade separately. The only real change with regard to tax collection on vehicle sales in British Columbia is Private Sales. Before the HST Private Sales only had to pay the 7% Provincial Sales Tax. This Tax has now been raised to 12% and as always is collected by ICBC.

Selling Your RV ?

People sell their units for a lot of reasons. Sometimes it lack of use, need money, divorce, relocation, the list is endless. Regardless of your reason to sell you may consider having a Dealership help you sell your unit. The biggest consideration is exposure, this is especially relevant today with most print advertising classified sections fading away and the Internet taking the more prominent role. Selling your RV is a difficult task. You should ensure that all needed repairs are performed, have the Propane System Certified, insure unit for demonstration purposes and expertly detail. Now the hard part to establish the market value, this is difficult to do when you are financially and emotionally entangled. Most buyers are trying to buy below market value and most sellers are tyring to get above, how is that going to work? Another consideration would be your time to answer calls and meet potential buyers.You should consider your security, as you will share alot of personal information. We can offer potential buyers financing, selection, demonstration, repairs and service. But above all that our ability and desire to accept trade in's doubles our chance of making the sale. We have a fully interactive website that gets nearly 1000 visitors per day. We have strategically placed print ads in popular publications and 40,000 vehicles drive by our location per day. In fact we have more trouble finding units to sell than selling them. Finally we are here everyday to answer the phone, show and demonstrate units.

I Love my Wildcat Fifth Wheel

It's no secret why Wildcat continues to be one of the Nations Top Selling Fifth Wheels. The side walls are constructed of welded tubular aluminium studs, then
insulated with foam and Vacuum-Bonded. The floor is made of 2" X 3"'s on 12" centers and has a R-14 insulation factor. The chassis is a 10" steel I-Beam that provides greater strength and rigitity than tubular frames. Have you ever seen the one touch electric awning with no levers or knobs? It's sure to save a few marriages. Inside the coach you can enjoy floor track lighting which gives indirect lighting to help you see at night. The drawers are constructed from real plywood and have ball bearing glides to give you years of trouble free operation. Can you believe a CD/DVD Surround Sound System that runs on 12 Volts? How about Corian solid surface countertops, residential style metal kitchen faucet and nickle finish door handles and hinges? Now I could go on and on but the fact remains if you're in the market for a fifth wheel you should have a look at a Wildcat. To view our in stock Wildcats click here.
