Porsche Canada makes you sign a 1 year non-export agreement upon delivery of the vehicle. Breach of his agreement could result in a maximum $30,000 fine/payment.

I think it's allowed from Canada as the emissions /safety requirement are similar. You'll have to prove that, of course.
Edit: here's the info

I'm not sure if it works the same.. But in order for Canadians to purchase a vehicle from the US, it must have been titled & insured for at least 6 months, in the US...

I don't believe it was a waste of an allocation. Somebody who wants the car as much as anyone else will probably end up with the car at a markup that is lower or equal to what some US dealerships are imposing. Although the car was originally ordered for personal use, when we learned there was a chance to make a few dollars we decided it would be resold at a rate the market decided. The profit from selling it will be rolled into another less desirable car that is on order which is better suited to our desires. This means Porsche gets to build another car which intern benefits their brand and somebody else gets to drive this super cool car. We benefit, somebody that really wants one sooner benefits, and Porsche benefits. Win win win.

When we bought the car there was not a non-export agreement of any type. When we consulted with Porsche on the subject they said that while it is not illegal or restricted, Porsche does not like it. Nevertheless, it's a free market.

The PCNA warranty is transferable

I can assure you that Porsche of Canada and PCNA do not share your enthusiasm, which they are only worried about protecting dealers in each particular country so ultimately who cares but I'm not sure how Porsche of Canada will process warranty claims on a car sold and moved to USA? Many manufacturers that sell in both will not honor warranty unless it's processed in same country as car was sold.
