I also heard rumor that if you can't get a recall clearence letter in the US for the car you buy, you have to pay Porsche Canada $500 to get it.
You would have to get a pretty sweet deal on a US car to make it worthwhile.

As far as the wrong side of the road, I think I could figure it out!! :-)
As far as road-legalities go, all you have to do for DRLs is jump the heated seat fuse to the low beam fuse... search; there's a how to post here somewhere.
The main speedo doesn't need to be replaced, so long as you switch over to metric display. The digital speedo readout will be in metric and that's good enough.
Easy to DIY and not spend extra $$.
