If you werrie about bring a car in from the US, I can and will help.  It's easy.  And there are companies out there that will inspect a car for you.

Go get the EAP from the US.

I would.

I know someone who brought so far two Subaru's from the US , both with front end damage , fixed them up and register them .Currently he has a 2009 STI , had to replace right fender, hood , grill , some suspension work and paint , he drives it now with Ontario plates . If interested , I can ask what and how , but I am now in Germany so I will have to find him online to get answers .

Gabriel, you may be right. But here it is from the "mouths of babes"...RIV

Salvage vehicles are vehicles that have been damaged beyond economical repair due to collision, natural disaster, accident, trespass or other occurrence as determined by a licensing authority or a licensed insurance provider.

All U.S. brand information on imported vehicles is acquired by RIV as part of the registration process. Vehicles in this category will have U.S. titles indicating the salvage status or brand. This information is verified by RIV through U.S. databases, and the salvage brand will be made available to all provincial and territorial licensing jurisdictions in Canada through the Interprovincial Records Exchange (IRE). A salvage status on a vehicle may severely limit your ability to get the vehicle licensed and insured in Canada. You should contact your jurisdictional licensing authority for more information.

Salvage or rebuilt salvage vehicles can be licensed in Canada provided the original damage was not flood-related and the vehicle is admissible under Transport Canada’s List of Vehicles Admissible from the United States. All licensing jurisdictions in Canada require a second rigorous structural integrity inspection for U.S. salvage vehicles to verify that the necessary repairs have been done to make the vehicle road safe.

Salvage or rebuilt salvage vehicles can also be imported into Canada as parts-only vehicles through a Vehicle Imported for Parts Form Form 3 regardless of the source of the damage. However, once a vehicle has entered Canada on Form 3, it can never be licensed in Canada.

It's true , there are alot of money at stake so the situation has to be investigated thoroughly . If I were Kona , I would also check the classifieds on Focaljet or Focus Fanatics , you never know ... Also , while browsing around for car in the past , I noticed alot of SVTF's for sale from Florida on Ebay .
