I not worried about resale value as I'm looking to own for the long run if it isn't a lemon. The warranty is honored in Canada as per Ford's head office, called them twice and two different reps said so. Feel free to contact them on your own if you like, Ford Motor Company of Canada can be reached at 1-800-565-3673. I'm not really concerned about the savings because I'm purchasing a FWD Sport which isn't available in Canada but the MSRP of my Sport in the States is 41,080 while an AWD Sport with the same options in Canada is 48,229. I'm paying 38,900 US on the road and after the currency exchange it's 37,139.58 CAD. Add the HST tax because I live in Ontario +AIR TAX +RIV FEE and the grand total is 42.272.48.
