Imports of Audis

Echoing most of the comments made to date the process of importing is a
HUGE PITA!  The owner of our current rally car which is CLEARLY a race only
vehicle still ended up going through months of customs work with certified
brokers getting the car in from the UK.  It was amazingly painfull.  He has
imported cars into the states before but since the S2 never came here is
was like trying to get a private concert with Elvis...

That was a couple years ago.  A the owner must have forgotten the pain
involved because he did it again to bring in the new main components for
our next car (super secret - don't ask) and even though this was a parts
listed shipment the major components still created quite a stir from the
importing folks.

All else being equal, its possible you just need to be patient.
