Minnesota Car dealers selling Canadian Trucks

[rmay635703]

I have noticed this trend on and off for many years.

I am curious if I can take advantage of the Minnesota loophole to get a car sold in the US with slightly different Canadian options (like a manual transmission) from a Minnesota Chevy dealer.

AKA If the Chevy dealer is willing to import and sell Canadian Chevy trucks why can’t I ask that same dealer to “get” a particular Canadian Optioned Chevy in their next truckload?

This would avoid the military like raping process a consumer has to endure to try to buy a Canadian car and import to the US .

Anyone ever buy a Canadian car on accident or know of a dealer that would help?

Look into the factory's warranty. Generally, a Canadian market vehicle won't have any warranty once you register it in the US: if you want ChevyUS to give warranty coverage, you should have bought a truck they sold, not one that ChevyCA sold. Maybe they'll be willing to sell you a factory service contract? I don't know.

I’m looking to buy something that is unlikely to be under warranty anyway.
So a non-issue.

Primarily I like the fact that Chevy Canada has manual transmissions while US does not and further I see Canadian Trucks for sale at Minnesota dealerships so what I propose is obviously possible, just a question of if any of those dealers would selectively import something I actually want

MTs also require less warranty work.

It sounds like a question for https://ecomodder.com/forum/member-war_wagon.html

Disconsidering the Tornado, Chevrolet trucks with manual transmission have been phased out even in Mexico. It's quite surprising this option would be available in Canada.
