$500 Discount to Canadian Military

[Cdnawacs]

Hi folks,

Just wanted to let everyone know about something that I just discovered in my car shopping activities. Saab Canada is offering a $500 discount incentive on new vehicles to Canadian Forces members. The discount may also apply to Saturn and other particular GMC vehicles, I'm not sure. Perhaps someone who's linked into GM can comment?

Unlike the USA, it's not too often that military folks in Canada get such an offer. (After 25 years of service and 5 tours of duty to the Middle East, it feels kinda nice to see this happen!) :o

This is to confirm, that the $500 discount to active and former
military personnel in Canada, is valid and applies to most GM products
across the board. I served in the 60's and 70's and got the discount
with no problem as soon as I showed my certificate of military discharge
from the Army. I belive this discount is applicable until Sept. 2006.

You guys deserve more than $500 but I guess it's better than nothing...

Yes, général, I agree with you. If we had a government that cared
somewhat about our military personnel, they would at least give them
a break on the GST. Maybe cut it in half or something. I would apply this
to personnel with at least 5 years in the military, whatever function.
