Also add that manufacturers don't want you to buy a new car in one country/market and move it to another. They have it priced to compete in the market they are in and the price in another market could be lower (or with a longer warranty), because they have to do it in that market to compete.
I don't know if it still true but at one point Chrysler wouldn't honor the warranty for cars originally sold in Canada that were moved to the U.S. Goes to show they can do what they want and there isn't anything you can do about it.

Quote:
Effective with the 2003 model year, any Chrysler vehicle bought in Canada and resold in the U.S. won't carry factory warranty coverage.
Chrysler is attempting to stop the flow of Canadian vehicles into the U.S., where they are then sold for thousands of dollars less and result in significant losses for the automaker.
Chrysler will join Honda, Nissan and Hyundai, the other automakers that refuse to honor the warranty on such so-called gray market cars. General Motors and Ford also face the problem but have not taken any action.
