most manufacturers in NA usually have separate divisions for canadian and US sales. they negotiate msrp’s independently relative to their own respective market. canada = unfavourable weather conditions = less s2k sales as opposed to some areas in the states, which contribute to their overall higher sale rates. most cars are like that just because the US just has that many more people. think of this in terms of buying parts new from a shop, or getting a group buy going…same deal.
regardless, like bing said, you’re much better off going with a used low mileage.
