Canadian model E55

I am planning to purchase a 99 E55 but it is a canadian model.
Everything should be the same as US model but it has speedo in km and temp in celcius.
What is the disadvantage of purchasing this car in terms of future sale, etc? and how much difference should the price be since it is not a US model?

You can always change the speedo to miles. I think as the car gets older, the resale value shouldnt be affected that much.

How much are you paying I am looking for a
used e55 as well. I may have looked at the

Are you worried about a warranty?

looker...I haven't seen the car yet, did you see his posting from craigslist? I don't know if he owns a bar, we just traded emails.

I am not too worry about the warranty but I am worry if I will have problems reselling it.

Yes I saw it on the list to gave him a call,
I do think a 60K car will be hard to move
if you put any miles on it. I drive a lot so
I am looking for a low miles car. But resale
will be an issue for these older cars, great
deal for performance/$ but hard to move
I have been tracking 10-15 cars and it
seem to take 2-3 months for a fair priced
one to sale.
