RIV List Updated

[Bubbleboy]

It's confirmed now, the R32 won't be admissible. Apparently neither are 2008 GTIs or GLIs.

Re: RIV List Updated

I know that they obviously made a typo...but it says only B5 S4's with the "V8" are inadmissable lol! I guess you can bring the "rare" V6 back without any issues haha

Re: RIV List Updated

Well that sucks about the R32, but I guess that was to be expected and probably be good for me not to be tempted.

Interesting that Elise's are not allowed either.

Re: RIV List Updated

Is the car its self not allowed in canada? Or you not able to pick it up stright from the dealer then bring it to canada? Becuase i heard some people who know people in the states have them buy it from the dealer, then they buy it off of them, then bring it back? Maybe thats only for some cars.

Re: RIV List Updated

If a car is listed as inadmissible on the list it cannot be registered in Canada if purchased from the US. Obviously if you can buy the car here it is ok, but you still cannot bring one up from the US which is odd if we have them.

Re: RIV List Updated

WTF B6 S4s are on that list!!! but no mention of b6 s4 avants muahahaha

Re: RIV List Updated

Does not specifically say Sedan so I would assume all S4s.

I wonder if some companies are putting pressure to get cars on the list that are commonly imported, seems very odd that things like 2008 GTIs and GLIs would be banned.

Now now Ryan never underestimate the powers of quattro! There is getting to be alot of 11.5 sec full weight (or close too) s4's out there. It'll be quite a while before you see any figures like that from a 135.

Re: RIV List Updated

Alright I am trying to understand the RIV list and some of the wording can get tricky...

Under the "INADMISSIBLE" heading it reads the following:

"1997 AND 1998 All other models are inadmissible"

Does this mean all 1997 and 1998 along with any model not in the "ADMISSIBLE" column can not be imported to canada?
