Watch the warranty. I remember back several years when the American dollar was worth a lot more than the Canadian. The manufactures would not honor the warranty in the U.S. on a "gray market" car from Canada and sold in the U.S.

FCA will not warrant any vehicle sold in one County than registered in a different Country. You can bring a Canadian vehicle into the US and receive full warranty coverage only if you are the original owner. How GM and Ford handle this I have no idea.

I think it depends on how the vehicle changed intended country of destination. I know Fords position is the same as FCA with respect to warranty. But I know for a fact the truck I currently have was sold as a lease in Canada and imported back to the USA with full warranty. The caveat is I purchased from a Ford dealer and it was a certified pre-owned. So maybe if they purchase it in one of their off lease auctions they can do this. I have the original window sticker and it states clearly this vehicle cannot be sold in the US. So buyer beware especially if you think you are getting OEM warranty.
