My 1991 Canadian syncro westy is for sale.  I get these questions all the time from folks in the
USA: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=340164

So can you tell us what IS involved in importing a CANDAIAN van into the US?  I'll be glad to
steer all of the inquiries to you for your business.  Malcolm (Halifax, NS)
