Importing a car from Germany

[A80Avant]

good thing is that i plan to do a lot of work myself,so it is less costly.All i need is to find a good chassis without any rust problems.(little bit difficult in Germany)

This would also be a problem with cars in the UK too, with salt on the roads during winter and not a good climate there are also rust problems there too... sea air too, with salt "on the wind" makes this even worse.....

unfortunately i live in the us. its actually quite humiliating admitting so.. anyway, i lust after the rs2 everyday of my life. ive been trying to think of the best way to go about an attempt to import one. do you folks know of any loopholes?? perhaps importing it as a show car or a race car. i know i wouldnt be able to register it, but i was thinking i could by a cheapo avant and swap the vin #'s and walla.. anyway, any info would help

there may well be a loophole of some sort where you can import the rs2 as scrap ie. in pieces.I was talking to someone in australia a couple of years back and they say it could be done like that.Not sure where you would stand with the bumpers though,most us audis seem to have them big enough that you could iron your cloths on them.

edit,have a look at this
