November 1, 2007

With the Canadian dollar enjoying parity in the US many consumers may be tempted to buy a vehicle from a US dealer.  Below are some factors that consumers should consider before making a decision to purchse a vehicle from an American dealer.

  • All vehicles imported into Canada must pass federal inspection
  • Some manufacturers may not allow American dealers to sell their vehicles to Canadian consumers
  • Manufacturer's warranty may be voided if the US vehicle is imported into Canada
