Otherwise, you're waiting 15 years until it falls under the Classic allowance and it can be imported for safety inspection and re-plating under Ontario HTA laws.
I'd say check with the RIV for sure. I've got a buddy on his 2nd STi from the U.S. now. He had all the paperwork done before he got there. He flew down, picked it up and drove it straight home that day.

Thats not completly true The Golf R32 has just recently been added to the list of vehicles allowed here and they have been making Golf forever. Same with the Evo's they have only been allowed in the last year or so there list is always changing and adding new vehicles. So good luck on your venture to buy a car from the south.

This is true. My buddy is a car dealer and he's about to import Evo's and R32's.
This reminds me, I'll be test driving Evo X in the next day or two. ;)
