When the Cdn dollar was 1.10 a few months back i tried to bring a VW
in from the US.  VW dealers in the US can't sell to non US residents
so i was going to have to use a broker.  Very recently VW of Canada
stopped honouring warranties on US vehicles.  Then the dollar tanked
so it didn't make sense anymore.

I think David wants a Jetta wagon, and they're new this year so buying
a 1-2 year old model would be different.  And if I recall, they
haven't made Jetta wagons for a couple of years anyway.  I couldn't
find one, at least.
