I've been able to find an ALH VW I'm very interested in - in Ontario.
I'm in Detroit, so that's not too far for me. I've looked at bringing over vehicles in the past, and actually gotten as far as getting the letter of conformity from those manufacturers (BMW, Subaru), without any problems.
VOA is different. Their policy appears to be to only write LOCs for VW cars when their owners move to the US. They aren't interested in doing anything more - got to protect the market for old VWs in the US, apparently. They have checked the VIN and tell me that this specific car is fine, but they aren't going to give me a letter and I should use a registered importer. I've looked into the RI route and it just isn't worth it.
Searching on here, I see some members in exactly the same situation have been able to get LOCs through the "right" contacts. If anyone knows who might be able to have a letter of conformity written, please pm me.
Thanks!
Michael
