It makes no sense to import from Germany or Poland, actually not that cheap, and not cheap at all after import cost. Only worth it on rare specialty cars and it is usually done not to save money but to just get something you can't get here.
Most cars in Poland are smashed and rebuild, rebuild so well most experts cant figure it out. Most people in Poland buy cars assuming they are smashed but most don't care because they are rebuild really well, but in the end they are rebuilds. I am Polish, and I go to poland quite often, and I am scared to buy cars in Poland for use in Poland myself.
Most of the these smashed cars come form Germany, and if you guys see these cars smashed, you would never want to buy it. I do not think any shops in North America would even attempt rebuilding cars like they do in Poland. Reason for it was, shortage of cars in early 2000 late 90s, cheap labour as cheap as $1.5 a hour ( after conversion ) in late 90s, and good resale value as most guys would only claim minor damage or none when disclosing information to the buyer. They would never admit to how badly the car was really damaged. There is no Carfax or car proof in Germany or Poland. Only your judgment. around 2006 or so Polish goverment imposed a high tax on cars older then 5 years, to prevent bringing cars to Poland and hurting new car sales. Most cars imported to Poland now days are under 5 years, mostly 1 to 3 years old, write offs, bought for cheap, and extensively repaired in Poland, where labor is still cheap and resold as minor damaged. That does not matter anyway as you can not import a car younger then 15 years old.
What makes more sense right now, is to go buy a new car. You can buy a fully loaded Jetta TDI for 27,000 or so. Doesn't VW offer 0% 0 down? Plus you get warranty, and its new, 100% accident free, rust free? A used TDI will cost you around 5 to 8 grand to buy, and most of them need a few more to bring it up to standard. For around extra 17 to 20 grand you get a new car that if well cared for will last 15 years.
