Re: S4 for Sale in Toronto

["R. Scheibe" <scheibe@u.washington.edu>]

Dave, 

I just went through this process with the S4 that I bought in Vancouver BC
and sold here in Seattle.  That one in Toronto sounds like a steal
(depending, of course, on condition).  I can tell you exactly what to do
to get it over.  

I don't have much time to give you all the details now on how I did it,
but I'll be glad to share with you what I know.  If you want to call me, I
can tell you in person easier than by email, because it is more
interactive.  Also, I had a similar question from a lister in Oregon who
wants to get his car over from B.C.  In a moment, I'll forward my note to
him, which I think I saved.  

I'd encourage you to take a shot at it, if the car's any good.  They are
the same in Canada and US except for the following:  Canadian cars have
daytime running lights (kinda cool), they have gauges that are metric
(only the Tach and oil press. gauge are exactly the same -- both temp
gauges, the fuel gauge, and of course, the speedo, are different), there
is a different lens on at least one of the warning lights for the brake
system, and the parts are not supposedly not marked for theft prevention.
I've looked into it quite extensively and will be glad to share what I
know, including a letter of conformity I got from Audi of America for my
car.

Good luck.

Call or email for more.
