First of all I want to say BRAVO to this web-site. So much great information!

Our situation was different than most and I will try to keep it brief. We utilized a registered importer next to the Canadian border to purchase our Ody from Canada. It was great, saved about $1,200 under MSRP and saved the headaches of trying to get a Canadian model through the boarder. (We let the importer do the work) 2002 GG EX-L.

We love it so far and have already added quite a few things to it already. Will do aftermarket RES in a while.

I fully understand the warranty thing but my inlaws live next to Canada and don't mind taking it back to Canada if we need work done on it.

What if anything did you do to the speedometer dial? How long did you have to wait? Did they have a good selection? How do I find this broker? Will he negotiate less than $1200 below MSRP? Did he try and sell you warranty coverage? I sure would like the heated mirrors and DRL's here in Montana too.

Lars,

The registered importer does all the changes to the vehicle to come into the U.S. I only waited a week for the vehicle. I told him what I was looking for and he did it. He has to negotiate a price through a dealer in Canada so he was not firm with a price up front but did give me a range. I chose not to purchase the optional warranty coverage.

What I would recommend is try to locate via the internet a importer in Montana near the boarder who would do the same for you.
