*add* the key it to not mention anything about being Canadian. I think its the dealer.. the ones i dealt with were willing to talk price.. the one in syracuse was a PAIN and the one near buffalo/niagra stuck at around 37+ as well... sooo not interested...

we should have a mini meet lol
lol... so u don't tell them your canadian when negotiating a price.. but when your ready to pay and title the car... u pull out your canadian driver's license? what do u do then? or do u swing it by pulling out one of those fake american driver's license u car purchase for fake id... u know.. then one's with the fingerprint on the back?

hahah no no u just dunt really mention it upfront..only after you get prices this is usually applies in email... or in email/phone u can say oh...alot of dealers are trying ot be funny and raise prices because I am canadian.. so they know..u know the numbers.. and not waste your time.. or do what I been doing....I tell them exactly what others r offering me and ask them to beat or match. i dunt really go under what people tell me i give the real numbers so I wont undercut too low.. they will know if its possible or not.. no need to play games.. esp at this point where my numbers are quite low already. Not as low as some people mentioned 1k under invoice but let me see him get that haha but a few hundred over invoice i think is ok.. these are not US cars with lots of weird holdbacks etc and cost pennies to make.

After today's drive, I confirm that the car can be configured to show metric units, EXCEPT that the odometer and the trip odometers still show imperial (MILES). On the dot matrix screen (between tach and speedo), when the chosen units are metric, distance travelled (can be zeroed), and average speed over time travelled will show metric. I tried numerous ways, but was unable to have the main odometer show kilometers. No great deal to me, as the speedo shows imperial units as primary.
