worth less during warranty, worth about the same after.
We're not talking huge dollar delta's here guys. I think it comes down to the mileage / condition of the car at the end.

... time for me to chime in ...
I was told numerous times not to purchase a US spec S2000 for the simple fact that as far a car dealer was concerned (honda/acura or otherwise), it was much harder to sell a US car that they couldn't give an official Honda Canada extended warranty to (and something to do w/ how dealerships send some of their trade-ins to the auction house for resale). Having said that, I was looking for a GPW w/ Tan interior (a combo that was never offered in Canada). So while some people say that US spec cars (in general) have lower resale values, I probably would have paid more than what I did for mine. I love my tan interior (and I'd do it again in a heartbeat) ... had someone offered me 2 identical cars (same mileage, condition, etc), one w/ tan (US) and the other w/ red (CAN) ... I still would've paid more for the tan. I just don't let other people tell me how much my car is worth (it's my car ... not theirs).
(btw ... just ignore the KBB ...

Can we please all keep one thing in mind... These are Honda's, built in Japan, not in Aliston... They don't break so why do you need a stinking warranty? I occasionally drive mine like it was stolen and not once have any of my 3 S's left me anywhere with breakdowns. I am a firm believer in importing these from the States... They're 20 G's less over there and our dollar is sitting pretty. The first one I bought was at 25% exchange and was still a great deal, but not without cross border headaches. Not for everyone, but those who can, should!

Its worth less only because if you are a CDN living in Canada, you would rather have a CDN car than a US car.
I think the values about one model year different, at least thats what it is for NSXs.
