This goes out to anyone who has done it or any Canadian members that might know.

I am selling a 2001 GTI and I have a potential buyer in Canada. Does anyone know what is required by the seller and the buyer in order to make this possible?

Any help on this would be much appreciated. :thumbup:

Do a Google search. I seem to remember whole websites dedicated to this question.

No problem. I could use a nanny.

I'm thinking a) I'm overqualified/have a different skill set than you want, and b) I'm done raising kids after these two!

Importing to Canada

I bought my 02 wagon in Minneapolis this summer and drove it back to Canada. Not hard to do, but there are a few things that have to be done in a certain order. The RIV site is generally pretty good, but leaves several gaps. For example, the buyer has to have the car's title in hand to make the physical crossing. In Alberta, there is no such thing as a title, we just use a bill of sale. Another thing is that there cannot be any open campaigns before it can be registered. The RIV site says that a letter from VOA is required, but when I tried to register it, I needed a screen shot from a VW dealer as well as a letter.
Again, it is possible to save a lot of cash, but there is the PITA factor.
