By way of example, I have never re-sold any of my used cars which I bought new for more than $4000 (before today, the record was $1000). I am therefore not too concerned.
Once again, I'm just repeating what I was told by someone who works in this area - I have been unable to verify the information despite repeat web searches and phone calls. As well, I only know about the Ontario market.
I believe that Ministry records would show that the car was originally built for the US market and a transfer of title to a third party would be prohibited without proof of US residency at the time of purchase (this obviously doesn't apply to registered dealers).
