The 991 GT3/RS Cars For Sale Thread...
I think I am not sure why someone would import it and convert it to MPH. Is the Canadian market not big enough or is it more profitable to move it across borders and do a conversion? In any case, I will concede that it isn’t a showstopper, more just something I don’t understand.

Anyone in western North Carolina or Charlotte VA willing to take a look at this car for me? I’ll make it worth your time.

Price seems to good to be True vs window sticker however it is a Canadian car, was in an accident with ‘minor’ damage, and is certified albeit not by Porsche but apparently the same warranty.
Would you consider this car?

I got mildly burned by this before. Found a car through a used higher-end exotic place (also acquired from an auction). Carfax stated it had minor damage (but the Fox said "don't worry") from a year or so prior. Then two years later when I went to sell the carfax read like it was driven off a cliff.
I was left holding the bag and did my best to piece together what actually happened. I would do some internet investigative work and see if you can get documentation of what actually happened to it.

Is there any particular reason? Climate? Or PCNA fear mongering? I’ve heard them claim they won’t honor warranties on cars brought down, but I’ve spoken to a service advisor and technician who says that hasn’t been the case in practice— but in the case of 991.2s, factory warranty has expired regardless.
Interesting. A bit odd given CA and USA are identical cars, short of the two exceptions at the gauge cluster of course.

I feel you’re right as I’ve heard others continue to say the same, but I just haven’t seen enough data points on imports once they are here- certainly impacts value when importing though due to the cost and time involved.
Turbo S I'm referring to sticks out because this one dealer has a handful of same, Quebec car is the one at the discount. But it's just a continuation the same value disparities US vs. Canadian cars.
Applies to 991 gen GT cars as well. Explore this voluminous thread and you'll run into various examples.

fs thread OG's -- wasn't it a Carmine Touring in CO that sat and sat, dropped price many times? Think it was even CPO? Maybe the strongest example of Canadian car discrimination that I can recall.

RE: CA cars… I just assumed it was another way for car dealers to acquire quality assets at a lower price, e.g., import CA car and sale at the market price in the US. Have a friend who purchased a CA 991.2RS from a dealer in Charlotte. He had the car 2 years or so. I then sold it for him here on RL No penalty or discount given for being a CA original car. For other 911 models maybe different outcome, but not on this one.
Intermediate
my buddy bought a CA 991.2 gt3rs , was already in the states, and he only changed the speedo overlay to mph even though he doesn't even look at it, he just looks at the digital speed lmao. overlay was crazy cheap but he said he was stressing when swapping it. lmao.
he mentioned the original buyer did buy the car cheaper however after import and taxes it was basically the same. he wasn't trying to save money it was just a spec he wanted

I think when it was listed before by Colorado Springs they were asking around $240k for it for the longest time. That was in the era when I was trying to find one of these cars, so I remember it well.
