Hi,

as some of the members know, my project car burnt last year and, I don't really want to rebuilt from scratch a similar car but, I would rather look at importing one that would be a better base to start from.

In Canada, our great government makes it nearly impossible to import a less than 15 years old car unless Volkswagen certify the security requirements for the car. In order to check if it pass or not these reqs., VW Canada needs a VIN # from the car/model I would like to import.
-Golf 4 TDI 150 (2002-2003)
-Golf 4 TDI 150 4motion (2002-2003)

If someone would be interested in helping me, you can PM me a VIN # of the above model. I will not be importing the car you will tell me, it is just to check the feasability of the project.

Thanks

Go to autoscout24.de or mobile.de and find some cars that meet that description, and email the seller asking him for the serial number.

Will do. I tried emailing people from ebay.fr but that seems to scare people away and I'm probably considered a spammer :)

The body is a canadian golf tdi 100% original except a few touch ups that were done. I'm interested in an european golf but it's illegal to import a car that is not 15 years old unless VW Canada state this car pass all the security tests. In order to see if it would, I need a VIN # from an identical car I would be importing, which is Golf 4 TDI 150 (with or without 4motion from year 2002-2003.

Plane tix aren't that expensive to come over here. Hard to call someone a "spammer" when they're looking you in the eye.
