G0dspd, you forgot Audi dealership in Moncton. But, yes, you are right. If you need to take BMW for factory warranty work, gotta drive 4.5 hours to Halifax. Now, what you gonna do if it breaks down? Hope that warrany will cover transporting your car over.
My car comes with 2 year aftermarket warrany and I can take it to any shop I want.
On other hand, here in Saint Joh there is a MB dealer (just as you said). I still don't see to many MB's around.
Yup, there is Ferrari 360 Spider in Fredericton. Owner of Wendy's/Tim Horton's franchise owns it.
Again, on insurance question. Mine hardly went up, considering I went from 4 cylinder to 6 and on top of that going from VW to BMW. Unless they put those in same group (german imports)
