Laurel Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 I just booked Tip in for her first big upgrade servicing. We have not done any upgrades as everything worked just fine. So I held my nose and booked her. The service representative said that the computer says that Canadian C-Maxers will start getting our cheques for $895 beginning October 15th. She said all the upgrades i.e. MFT, tailgate, power train etc would take half a day. I snorted and giggled and suggested she book a loaner for me as people on the C-Max forum have had more than a few glitches. She giggled too and said the loaner sounded a good idea then. $20 a day for the loaner. So October 16th is our date to have Tip re-programed. I hope I don't get a rogue C-Max back.LOL She reassured me that a computer whiz would be working that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtb9153 Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Canada owners get $895 refund? Why's that? Did I miss something? Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Z Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Isn't it obvious. Canadians are just that much more meaner and need more cash to make us happy. Don't mess with us canadians or we might have to come down there and burn down the White House again. Only teasing not sure why we get more here in Canada than you do in the states. Maybe our gas prices are higher and we drive further distances on average. Cheers, Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Z Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 Still nothing in my mailbox or by delivery.

Bruce Z Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 I have not called, but was thinking it might be time to do so, have other Canadians received theirs or are we all still waiting. Cheers, Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalBran Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 (edited) Good news! Received mine yesterday via FedEx! I'm in Quebec City and it is to my wife's name which start with a "T". It comes with a letter explaining the reasons and the sticker fuel efficiency change for the 2013 C-Max. Nothing to sign. This will pay for my winter tires. :happy feet: Edited November 19, 2013 by HalBran Laurel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurel Posted November 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Thanks HalBran! Car insurance is due here on the 29th so that will pay for almost half if the cheque is $850. Adair 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveofDurham Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 (edited) Thanks HalBran! Car insurance is due here on the 29th so that will pay for almost half if the cheque is $850. Can you get the "State Farm Discount Double Cheque" in Canada? It would make your Ford cheque "Go Further".

Laurel Posted November 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 No Dave we have no private car insurance in British Columbia. The government makes us buy insurance through their corporation. So no State Farm here. We can buy third party under insured from one private insurer that exists. But the government has a monopoly. Our yearly insurance is about $1800 or $1900 and we have every discount possible for safe driving etc. I can't imagine what some of the youug drivers have to pay here--probably $3000?

I looked at a province by province list and found that BC, Manitoba and Saskatchewan each have gov't insurance corporations. Quebec has a mix - gov't does personal injury and private co's do property damage. All the others have private insurance companies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
