No warranty if it is a US car. Mitsubishi Motors Canada won't reimburse dealers for warranty work on a US VIN car.

I suppose you could just drive the car back to the US for warranty work, assuming the car is drivable when you need the warranty work

I believe buying from the states and doing all tax,border crossing,registering and currency exchange il be saving some huge bucks. I live in ontario so their are 2 taxes. Anyone actually complete a similiar transaction? Il take input negative or positive because im almost in the blank here.

I bought a Range Rover in the states and saved 20 000 including the sales tax. but if I remember correctly, you just need to pay the 5% GST and 0 PST
