You are purchasing a car from manufacturesââ¬â¢ and not the dealer.I know Honda doesn't allow US cars to be warranteed in Canada and I believe Chrysler is the other major PITA. You have to take your car to the US and seek a dealer for warranty repairs.
When I was in US I did take my car to the dealer once and it was in California, they did repair my car under warranty without any problems.
I know because of the dollar now the dealers and manufacturers are trying to scare people to buy locally but I bet that will not hold up in any court. You are buying a car from the manufacture and not the dealer. Bryan, can you tell me if this is correct or not?

For the Lincoln, and Ford overall, there is no issue.
And for the record I paid $19,700 US, which converts now to about 19,200 Can$. Considering the almost identical vehicle that I had asked Mo and Matt about 4 weeks ago that turned out to be an accident insurance right off sold on eBay for $21000, I think I got a pretty good deal. This si the right off car that sold......... http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIt...=ADME:B:SS:CA:1
That car in Canada on autotrader sells for about $28,000 on average. My thinking is to drive the car for approx. 18-24 months and resell it here for the same $$$ I paid for it and buy another car State side.
I was lucky though, because 6 people called the day previous as I was compiling all my information on the car and sending my Uncle to check it out, and she actually had a lady who wanted to purchase the car outright, but couldn't get her PayPal account to work.
I am hoping to bring it into Canada Friday, but I have the US Thanksgiving weekend to contedn with. Bad timing there.
TEAM PITA Don't settle for a wannabe, only accept the real deal.
One day I will rule the world. For now, I have to settle for this place.
