Its been awhile...AMG Wagon
Its been awhile... looking to get into an AMG Wagon... Always been in wagons, C320, E350, BMW 5 Series, and currently Volvo R-Design.
Found a nice 2014, but car originally delivered in Canada. I've been reviewing some online sites and BAT and found that there are quite a few that are listed or have recently sold from Canada? Is there anything to be concerned about with warranty/ tech bulletins, CarFax details, etc. that could get missed with a Canadian car in the US?
Seems that from 2014 on. AMG Wagons have all been AWD and "S" types? that leaves just the Tech items for options?
Correct?
Thanks for any thoughts

Can't answer the Canadian question but with respect to your second question;
After 2014 model year all wagons are S models. There were a few 2014 non-S models. However depending on your preferences, the non-S had better integrated exhaust (like the pre-facelift) and RWD - meaning 18" wheels fit in the front.
Downside is no rear LSD but really, are you going to notice that and 30hp less?
Keep in mind the most important thing is pedigree. In the end it becomes pay me now (better condition, lower km) or pay me later (maintenance).
