You mean out of the country, right?

Does this car have any of its NHTSA/EPA/DOT releases?

Welcome aboard, Poulsen!

Looks like it says

Exp. Test

on the plate. The good news is they are testing it here. Would be nice to see the Lupo sold here.

Very cool. What size are those tires?

edit:
It is painful to see such a cool car for sale and know that it can never be :(

155/65-R14 according to:

http://www.vwvortex.com/artman/publish/printer_319.shtml

Which shows the steelie wheels, same as above.

Doing some other googling showed aluminum rims with 205/45-R15 and 205/55-R16, but at least one of those doesn't make sense, because the 16's would have a larger overall diameter than the 15's. :confused:

The wheel hub add-on motors give me an idea.....
Remove the 1.2 TDI and have the car classified as a N.E.V.
Storage of the TDI engine can then be solved by longer term storage under an aluminum bonnet...

NHTSA, EPA, DOT. All federal entities. This is clearly a states rights issue. Smudge the VIN and tell the local DMV its a golf.;)

The real question is whether or not the current owner needs to provide proof to the EPA that the vehicle has left the country after its "temporary visa" expires. Registering and driving the car can be accomplished fairly easily with creative titling.

Right. IIRC, there is a box on the HS-7 form where an agent needs to sign off stating the car was destroyed (in their presence) or the car departed the USA after 12 months per the written agreement.

[FONT='Calibri','sans-serif'] I do not think you will be able to register the LUPO in NC as a citizen because it has never been crash tested in the USA for the NHTSA. We have the LUPO registered in CT with experimental plates.

I am not clear on why they think some one would want to buy this here with their response. It was a nice thought for a moment.

I don't want to be the bearer of bad news all the time, but the agreement they signed when the car entered the country also clearly states the vehicle cannot/may not be sold. It's either the crusher or exportation to a country able to accept such a vehicle.
