    Moving from Seattle to Vancouver Island, any chance of importing an RS2 to British Columbia?

    You can import a 1994 RS2. Or wait 5 months and import a 1995.

        eerrr after spending nearly 2 years over there...there weren't any "real" RS2's there AFAIK. One thing to mention is that the 15 year law in Canada for importing cars had been reached and a few people were looking at importing them from germany/europe but not sure if they have...yet!!!...

        A few off them are on this forum...

        whereabouts on the island??...I lived in Sooke...about an hour outside of victoria..

                as it's the most central it's the best place to be located for all the outdoor fun the island has to offer....tofino...mount washington....

                      Here in Holland by our Audi-specalist is a RS2 sold to a Dutchman who lives in Canada.
                      The RS2 is ready for shipping.

                      But why cant you Import a car from europe to the US?

                        so many things....namely it could impact on the US car business!!...
                        and anything that hints at being able to corner...

                        I looked into both importing from the states (other S models) and importing an RS2/S2 when I was over there...

                          Surely you just import it into Canada and then drive it across the border

                          If you get stopped you say you are on a driving holiday from Canada and say 'aboot' a lot so they think you are Canadian

                          Cheers n

                            There was that 94 Noggy RS2 recently for 11K GBP that was VERY tempting but I decided that I would really rather have an UrS6 wagon. We (Canadians) can import them next year (15 year rule).

                            The American's have a 25 year rule but there are some tricks that are used.

                              Not got yourself an RS2 yet... you do surprise me....

                              have they gone ahead with the ban on RHD cars that was rumoured a year or 2 ago??
                              to stop all the japanese imports coming through.....

                              still busy in Sooke??....

                              take it easy...
