Let me know if I can help as well. I just recently built and sold an USA model B7 S4 to a Canada resident. So, I just went through this on the other side. If you need, I can work with Sakimano on my end of the boarder (Metro Detroit) To help bring this home. I can have the car picked up and shipped from my house if you need.
looks like my car the day I picked it up. ian is right theres no way he would have got 35k up here for that car. I just sold mine and it was an eye opener for sure. good luck with the car, hope to see a build thread get started.
My girlfriend and I are going to fly up and drive it back. I initially wanted to ship but getting it into the States via transport required a broker (at least that is what all of them told me) which cost $1500 not including the transport cost which was another $1500. If I personally import the car it’s relatively simple b/c it’s a US spec car. The weather looks decent for the week so I’m not concerned about the new summers I had the current owner mount for me. I fly direct from West Palm Beach into Toronto on Thursday and will pick up the car at Union Station in the afternoon. I’ll enjoy the trip home through the Smokey Mountains.
Take the UP express down from the airport to Union. It’s like $24. I think I can get tickets cheaper but not likely for you. Google around and see if there’s anyway to get a deal on UP Express tickets. Lots of corporate partners. Maybe CAA if you have it?
I made it back home - got in at 3am Sunday. Ended up crossing at Rainbow and still had to pay duty - I didn’t ask questions, paid it and was on my way. I ripped down to Tennessee after stopping in Pittsburgh for dinner. The following morning we left, had dinner in Savannah and made quick work through Florida down to Jupiter. The car was flawless the entire trip.
Brilliant! looks like bone stock, not even spacers on the wheels
nice pic at the falls. Is that your girlfriend and a homeless?
Always disappointing to lose RS4s up here but good to see it go to a good home. I only see one about every 2 months. Only a couple dozen in all of ontario.
Did he fill it up for you? Too bad, was hoping you’d have had the sticker shock of Ontario gas prices at least once. Around 3.25 USD a gallon for 91+
