VW Importation... Couple of Questions

[gaffer]

I know there is plenty of info about importing US cars and I have a pretty good handle on that process.

I am thinking about bringing in a 2008 Passat Wagon for the wife in the near future. What I can't seem to answer is the warantee info.

Will the factory waranty on a 2008 Passat be valid in Canada? What about CPO waranties?

Also, does anyone know the duty on vehicles made in Germany.

Any info would be helpful.

I think 2008 warranties are ok and 2009 are not, not sure on the CPO but should be ok. I think the duty is around 6.1%

Odd....I called VW and they said CPO in the U.S. would also be honoured here.

Call VW Customer Care:

FYI. I've read something online about Passat's manufactured after September 2007 may have an immobilizer issue or something like that? Maybe worth looking into.

P.S. Yes, the duty is 6.1%.
