Been thinking of buying in the states, I wonder how the other manufacturers are handling this. Maybe its time to swtch brands. As I was going to buy an XP in the states, with the problems they were having, I'm glad I did'nt.
Myself and fellow co-workers have bought 30 new units from a dealer in the states in the last 6 months. They have been mostly can-am/ ski-doo. They are not allowed to sell to canadians but there are ways around that. As for the warranty issues, there are ways around that also. It's all a big game, you just need to know the rules so you can find/ work your way around it.
I have been told just get the unit registered to an American Citizen, but I am not sure how to get the warranty to transfer up. Any advise you can give would be helpful. I got mine sled out of the US with 400 miles on it and most of the updates where done, but now i am having problems with the gauges and need that update. If you could tell me how to get warranty I would appreciate it.
