In support of our troops, Scarsview Chrysler has made available, to the Red Fridays Campaign, a Dodge Magnum decorated as a tribute to those soldiers who have fallen and those men and women who currently serve our country.

As stated by Karim Ashadali, General Manager of Scarsview Chrysler, "this is the least we could do for our soldiers who have lost their lives and for those who serve our country everyday without hesitation. It is a honour to be able to provide a vehicle to recognize the sacrifice that these men, women and their families endure.
 
To honour those soliders who have lost their lives while serving in Afganistan, one side of the vehicle lists their names with graphics of an Honour Guard. If a picture says 1000 words then this vehicle says a million. You don't have to be a serving or retired military member to understand and feel the emotion behind what this vehicle portrays. While the Magnum was sitting at Scarsview Chrysler before the official handover took place, we have seen people's eyes well up and even the toughest of guys gulp. It truly is something to see!" said Karim
 
The feelings and emotions captured were the responsibility of Yasser Munoz and his team at Rico Imaging. Yasser originally from Cuba but served in the military in Cuba said "while I might not have been to war, I do understand and respect the Canadian Soldiers. I have truly loved this project and am happy to be a part of it"
 
The Magnum will be used by the Red Fridays Foundation at various events throughout the Greater Toronto Area and more specifically for the "Repatriation Memorial Drive and Rally" being held on 31 May 2008.
 
The Magnum has been provided to the Red Friday's Campaign to use for a year, after which it will be auctioned off and the proceeds will be provided to military charities.

Buying vs. Leasing ... The Benefits of Leasing a Car
 

I was raised "old school" where owning was much better than renting (leasing). Times are changing and many more Canadians are seeing the benefits of leasing a car rather than financing it ... If you are a little stuck in your decision here are a few of the benefits of leasing a car:
 
Lower Payments ...
 
Lease payments leasing a car are typically lower than they are if you were to finance. When you finance a car you are financing the price of the full car, all the taxes and the interest rate. Lease payments leasing a car you are paying only for the portion of the car you are using over a period of time ... AND ... you are only paying PST/GST on the payment.
 
New Vehicle More Often ...
 
Needs change, lifestyles change, tastes change. With a lease you can cycle yourself into a new vehicle more often
 
Options ...
 
One that I think is a HUGE benefit of leasing a car. You have a choice at the end of the lease, you can:
 
1. give me back the keys and get into a new vehicle, or
 
2. you can buyout the car and keep it
 
There are many more benefits of leasing a car rather than financing that you can also consider. Give our Car Leasing Center a call, set up an appointment. We'll sit down and discuss your auto needs and go over the many other benfits of leasing a car rather than financing that you can take advantage of!

Scarborough, ON

Ken Regular, CTV.ca News
 
Drops of liquid gold were being sold at gas stations Tuesday morning; at least that's how drivers felt after an overnight jump pushed pump prices up right across the country.
 
Vancouver led the country in a race no city wants to win. Motorists on the west coast are paying $1.25 per litre for regular, self-serve gasoline. Parts of southern and eastern Ontario had the lowest pump prices in Canada at a mere $1.08 per litre.
 
The result: a certain amount of east-west envy, which is uncommon in western Canada.
 
The sudden jump just as quickly sparked questions about why gasoline is suddenly more expensive.
 
Gasoline is becoming more valuable by the day due to increases in wholesale pricing. But that's not the whole story. Gasoline inventories in the United States have been falling for weeks, driven in part by problems at some refineries.
 
In a tight marketplace with just-in-time delivery, pricing of a globally traded commodity becomes almost as volatile as gasoline and a pack of matches.
 
But that doesn't make sense to one Atlantic Canadian researcher.
 
"It's getting more valuable by the second actually," George Murphy quipped during a telephone interview with CTV.ca. "I don't know when we go from paying for the gold that it is, to the fools gold value that it should actually have."
 
Murphy is a taxi driver in St. John's, NL. who volunteers with The Consumer Group for Fair Gas Prices. He has built a reputation for accurately predicting pump prices sometimes days in advance.
 
Murphy said the price hike and official explanations make no sense.
 
"It should be a lot lower than it is considering the amount of refined product that is actually out there."
 
He said that reports from the Energy Information Administration shows "something in the order of 300 million barrels."
 
"You'd figure that would be enough to carry you over for a week but apparently it's not," Murphy said.
 
"I've seen numbers like this before and I've seen draws against inventory like this before on the same news that you're hearing."
 
For four years Murphy said the same "excuses" of heavy demand and tight supply have been used to hike prices but once the summer ends and no crisis occurs, "there never was any reason to worry anyway."
 
Murphy will not say there is collusion among the big oil companies to set prices higher, but motorists feel that way.
 
"It's all a sham," an Ottawa woman told CTV News after prices there hit $1.10. "They just put it up, put it up, for no reason whatsoever. Look at the profits they're making."
 
Pricing is a little more complicated than that.
 
Crude oil is traded on international markets. Speculators make money based on what they perceive to be the commodity's price volatility in the coming weeks, months or even years.
 
While they usually only trade large quantities of oil through contracts, their paper chase has "significant influence on market prices," according to Natural Resources Canada's 'Fuel Focus' website.
 
Then there's the spot market for crude, where oil is bought or sold and delivered immediately to the buyer.
 
Crude oil then needs to be turned into products that can be used. Once refineries generate supplies of gasoline, diesel or other products, they are sold to distributors, who in turn sell to retailers, with everyone taking a cut along the way.
 
Even then, the retailer's price is not what shows on the pumps. Federal and provincial governments add on a list of taxes, including:
 
Excise tax;
Provincial tax
GST/HST;
Provincial sales tax; and
Transit tax.
 
According to Petro Canada, on average 35 per cent of the pump price Canadians pay is tax. The Canadian Automobile Association says that number is even higher, as much as 50 per cent.
 
Using Petro Canada's average, without tax Toronto's motorists would be paying 70.2 cents per litre instead of $1.08.
 
No matter where the money is going, drivers are reacting by turning in their gas-guzzling SUVs which were the bread and butter of North America's auto industry as recently as a year ago.
 
"I've got people coming in, trading in SUVs, pickup trucks and buying smaller vehicles," Karim Ashadali told CTV.ca. The sales manager for Scarsview Chrysler in Toronto said demand for vehicles has shifted dramatically in the last few months.
 
"Luckily, we've got small cars ... and we got back into the market. But if we hadn't we would be dying right now," Ashadali said.
 
He credits the rise in pump prices with consumers turning away from SUVs. At one time the four-wheel-drive road monsters were expensive to buy and commanded big resale values. Ashadali said that market reality has been turned upside down.
 
"The depreciation (on SUVs) has gotten so much higher now that people are losing their shirts on them."
 
He added that smaller cars are "keeping their value much better right now."
 
Even choosing to drive a small car would not be enough of a savings for some motorists.
 
"I have a bike," one Halifax woman said while filling her SUV Tuesday. "It's certainly a lot cheaper to fill that up."
