Jerry,
     I am a Canadian that sells Double & Single-Cab Vanagon Transporters
across the border in to the US of A.
To import a Vanagon in to the US from Canada you need to do three things.(1)
Change the park brake warning light lens to a US one (2) Change the
speedometer to a US one. (3) Get the "letter of compliance from  VW of N.A.

      With these three things done you can then import the Vanagon in to the
US of A. You will then have to pay your applicable taxes and duty to US
customs people. As for the "Title" unless you are buying the vehicle in the
Province of Nova Scotia there is no such thing. We do not title our
automobiles. Your local Motor Vehicles branch should be able to check this
fact in there reference books. Or you can get the phone number or a letter
from the Canadian Motor Vehicles branch in the province where you are
purchasing the vehicle.

I hope this information helps.

Cheers
Glen

> I am considering buying a vehicle which is located in Canada. I do not
know as of yet if it was titled in Canada. Could anyone who's done this or
has knowledge as to what is required to do this please p-mail me? Is there a
difference as to whether or not I drive it across the Border, or trailer it?
Thanks...
