I've always heard, true or not, I don't know, that they have no laws against rolling back odometers, plus, thier accident reporting is sketchy.

I personally wouldn't

I wouldnt unless you have a well documented history that you can verify.

Besides, who wants an S2000 with pink lightning bolts down its side?

Once a beccer, always a beccer.

A lot of the cheapo cars that come up from Quebec are actually wreckers (some are even branded as salvage down there but not up here) that came up from the States.

Buyer beware.

ya my car came from the states through quebec and i am still finding out stuff that had been damaged and replaced. It was in some pretty major accidents, the frame is still 100% though (i had it on a frame machine to test it) and it has a clear title. I would be careful of buying from there.

I purchased my S from a Honda dealer in Terrebonne, Quebec. I ensured everything was checked out before I bought it. Being a Honda dealer I trusted them a little more than the norm, but still had it checked out. I got a good deal on it but only because they muffed on their price listed on their site, otherwise their pricing was comaprable to others adverstised.

Goodluck finding your S!

Not to rain on your parade Tarcy but I would be as leary about dealers as I would a curbsider! With the whole rolling back of odometers and salvage titles coming from the US A smart dealer with good connections would do it as easily as a private seller!

I guess the main thing is you did your searching and are happy with your purchase.

I would be leary of who to trust when it comes to buying a used car in Quebec!
