I have done that

I am selling my transporter from Canada
First time i phoned, Vw told me that they don't assist citizen in commercial transaction.
Phone to Vw a second time and told i want to move in US
They have checked with the VIN Number and told me they would'nt issue it anyway
Because it did'nt have air bag which does not comply
Have you ever heard of an 85 having airbag!!!?
They told me to look into an RI (Registered Importer)
See procedure in list at:  http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/import/
You have to find an RI who is willing to do the job.
I personnally think that Vw is in the business of selling new car
They are not much of any help...

Any other experience to help Tom and me are welcome!

Hi Alec,

VW does not like to issue "Letters of Conformance" for US Citzens that want
to purchase a Canadian VW anymore. So he trickis to have the Canadian owner
call VW and tell them that they are moving to the USA, and need the letter
so they cantake the van with them.

Hello all,

I'm thinking of purchasing a camper from one of our fellow email list
friends and it is located in Canada. Does anyone know what is involved in
purchasing a car from Canada? All thoughts, comments and sugestions are
very welcomed. Thank you!

Alec
