And really, good thing I did, because I already sold the car. I would have had issues selling it if it was a US car and the warranty was iffy
If you plan on keeping the car more than the warranty period, the warranty issue for selling doesn't become much of an issue. But if you plan on selling it before the warranty is up, it would become a possible issue to sell.

As for the warranty and a motor blwoing, like I said, it all depends where you live. I live real close to the US border, and if for some reason my engine died within the warranty period, I would only have to get it towed 20 mins to the border. So not an issue. I would have to get it towed that far to another cdn dealership anyways in Vancouver. However, for someone who lives pretty far from the border, I could see it being an issue.
