Selling 460 Passion and would like to buy in the USA

Does anyone know if there is any difference in the 451 sold in Canada -vs- USA? I would like to buy in the states and then bring it over the border? I know I need daytime running lights for Canada.

I have a 2006 450 Diesel and would like the convertable.

It was only driven from the dealer to my house (New York City suburbs) last fall. I bought it for my son who ended up never needing it because he got a job that povided him a car w/expenses. I'm just now putting it up for sale on Craig's List.; ▶ Reply to This

(Brabus body and interior package added by former Montreal owner, 68,000 Kilometres total) The road feel and handling, as well as interior room on the 451 is inferior to the older model. The up-side of that is there are more accessories available for the 451 in CA and US than for the older model...

The main differences in the 450 and 451, as you've probably seen if you've compared them, is the overall length and the dashboard design - plus lower fuel economy. There is no difference between US and CA versions of the 451, AFAIK, though maybe another engine option for CA, as there are more engine option in The Rest Of The World vs the US. (as with most other cars... lol); ▶ Reply to This

mr bad example replied to speedracer's discussion 'maybe a alternative to scan gauge2 ?'

i just prefer a scan gauge permanently mounted (well sorta, it's on a suction cup mount to windshield now, might dash mount it in the spring) but it's always on and connected. i have a basic cell phone which i only carry with me half the time, so it…
