Buying a car from Canada
#16
I'm not sure, Tim. I've only got 400km on it so far
As to the OP's question, if it has been imported properly (it sounds that is has), I wouldn't let that stop me. However, as a Canadian who has brought numerous American cars into Canada, the market for the Canadian car will be smaller than if it were a US car. Just like you are questioning the purchase, so too will others. If I was in the US with a much larger car market, I probably wouldn't go after a Canadian car unless it was the perfect spec and a bargain.

Ok so these pics are from a “Canadian” 991.2 (C36).
This has been easily changed on 996s, 997s, and 991s that I’ve driven. In the settings.
Is this no longer the case with 992s? @Onami are you able to change between metric and imperial for the speedometer and odometer on your new 992?

I stand corrected. Just checked mine this morning and you can change everything to miles except the speedo. Weirdest thing as I too had previous models that changed easily. WTH Porsche? Another bewildering change. I guess for my 1 month trip to the US I will be doing a lot of converting on the go!
Another question for US 992 owners: Can you change the digital speedometer below the tach (not the traditional graphic speedometer to the left of the tach which is now also digital in the 992 but appears traditional when on) from MPH to KMH?
If this very simple and long standing flexibility has disappeared, then I too am mildy shocked. 911s in North America very regularly travel in the US, Canada, and Mexico and if the very simple ability to scroll between metric and imperial settings for speed has been lost then I am disappointed. Very backwards step Porsche.

The owner "assures" that all is on the up and up. Sure thing.

Hopefully it wasn't a car out of Quebec... buyer beware.

Florida, Texas, and Canada are three places I would not buy cars from.

So you have a 992 (a "Canadian" C36 992) and the digital speedometer below the tach will only read in KMH?

Pls dont lump us in with those places !! I presume you are worried about flood damage but in Cda youre worried about the speedo? If I wanted a nice handgun mount in my car Id prob be looking in FL and Tx
