I just got a flyer from Owasco VW in Whitby Ont, just E of Toronto. If
you're interested, it's 905-668-9383, fax: 905-668-9734, Ontario toll free
(voice) is 1-800-263-2676.
They state in the flyer that the Westy is no longer being imported into
Canada, and that they have no new ones left on the lot. But they do have a
bunch of used vehicles.
These vehicles are part of their annual camping fleet, so they've been on
the tourist trail. One can guess that they are all gasoline, automatic and
AC. They are all Westies, not Winnies. So if you want the newest possible
German-built Westfalia available in N Amer today, here's your list:
Yr Colour Km Retail Sale
94 Gray 45,000 40,235 28,500
94 Green 35,000 41,270 29,995
95 White 35,000 41,270 29,995
95 White 32,000 39,090 31,900
95 White 39,000 39,090 31,900
95 Green 31,000 39,090 31,900
95 White 24,000 39,090 32,500
95 White 41,000 39,090 29,995
95 White 34,907 39,090 31,900
95 White 25,538 n/a 32,900
95 White 25,000 39,090 32,500
All prices in Cdn $, which is roughly worth six bits right now. Though if
you want to buy Cdn $, then you probably have to pay $0.765. Talk to your
friendly international banker (in fact, if anybody is serious about doing
this, I can give advice on converting US into Cdn; with these sums
involved, a small fraction can save a couple hundred bucks)(Cdn residents:
call 1-800-661-3559 to talk to the Custom House Currency Exchange in
Vancouver; best rates. No I don't work with or for them).
If you're in the States, the 15% sales taxes (8% provincial, 7% federal)
should be refundable, but as to the rest of the paperwork (getting it into
the land of the gallons, miles and pounds) you're on your own, though
Owasco is a knowledgable and reputable dealer, so perhaps could help you
out. Also, some members of this list have imported from Canada and could
help out.
