fyi people, i just found out that VW will no longer issue a certificate of
conformity to anyone other than if youre a canadian relocating to the US.

in other words, if youre a US citizen, and you want to buy a car that is
registered/titled in canada, VW will not issue you a letter of
confirmation.
  why i asked the VW rep? they apparently dont want to encourage people
buying used VW's and importing them into the US.   they want you to go out
and buy a new VW.   thats the only reason.
   gotta love vw..
