Importing from USA.

Re: Importing from USA.
Hi everyone,
I'm looking to import a 2009 A4 Avant from the US. Has anyone used this guy?
luxuryimports.info
Everything seems up and up, but I'm hesitant without some form of reference check.
Thanks, Andrew

Need to recode the Instrument Cluster to Canada using VCDS. This will change the odometer/trip computer readings only. Speedometer will continue displaying in MPH. B7's with trip computer have a menu option that lets you change units using the wiper stalk buttons.

I imported an 06 s4 from Utah. It all went well. Do your homework first. Audi Canada was great and the warranty is transferrable. The sites quoted above have all the info you need. I had the dealer in Utah check the car before I bought it and they did some warranty work before I picked it up. Also had them do the reprogramming for the DRL's-cost me $80. They did the recall clearance letter for me at no cost. Audi Canada will also do it for you for free. You can get it in advance if you fax them a copy of your bill of sale. After you cross the border and have paid your fee (I did it by credit card to make it faster), call RIV and ask nicely and they fax the Form 2 right away. I had Cdn Tire do both federal and provincial inspection and then went straight to get my insurance. I drove the car around with the Utah permit on it and had no trouble-but I only drove it to the inspection and to buy the insurance. I would suggest you get a permit from one of the States and try to avoid getting the permit in BC. Probably not legal, but you'll likely get away with it as long as you have the insurance from ICBC or your provincial insurer. I even got a speeding ticket in Wa and the state patrol didn't care about my Utah tags, BC insurance and DL. Good luck. LOVE MY CAR and would import again.

Congrats Glen!
I bought a 2006 audi A8L Silver on Black last week. Crossing the border took 10 minutes on the US side and 40 on the Canadian side. was relatively easy. Got to love those Customs agents. They diddle daddle around moping around the office and are about as much enthusiasm and help as icicles on banana's. I often wonder how enthusiastic they are when there children say daddy (or Mommy) how do i do this or how does this work? i wonder if they get even an ounce more happy cheerful I am happy' energy than they display at their work?
Anyway love the car. it drives and looks like a dream. However the day after I got it to Canada, the left side motor of the power trunk looks to not be pulling it's weight and the right side lifts slightly higher and then gives up and the trunk re-closes. I have to actually give it some help to open. Not sure yet what is involved to fix that or how much or if a DIY'er can manage this one?

Re: Importing from USA.
If anyone is looking at importing an Audi with CPO warranty, get the VIN and call Audi Customer Care to confirm if it's valid up here.
