I found a pretty good deal on a car that i’d like to buy, from a dealer here in Buffalo, the only thing is, it’s a canadian car.

How are the resale values of a canadian car? will people be turned off only because the KMH is bigger than the MPH on the speedo?

warranty does not transfer in most cases, odometer says crazy things like kilometers… other than that it should be just fine.

If it has navigation the voice prompts will say “eh” at the end of random sentences.

Do it also say normal street names but add an “o” at the end?

“Turn left on Matto street”

Is the car at Superior? they do lots of canadian cars. Do they have to by law change out the speedo or is that not true?
