Buyer insights for Canada
- Wide price spread
Suzuki Carry asking prices in Canada range from $5,993 to $10,998 — a spread of 55% of the median. Condition, mileage, and modification history explain most of that gap, so compare specific trims rather than anchoring on the median alone.
- Landed-vs-Japan price delta
Daihatsu Hijet lists 187.8% higher in Canada than in Japan (median $9,165 vs $3,185). That gap typically reflects import duty, compliance, and shipping already baked into the local asking price.
Canada JDM prices vs other markets
How median asking prices in Canada compare against other seller markets, chassis by chassis, including Japan (the export/origin market). A positive gap means Canada lists higher; negative means it lists lower. Minimum 10 listings per side.
