It is a tasty wagon, all right. (Manual and a dog screen!!) Fairly rare color, too. Apparently the guy knows his knowledge; he's successfully imported this and a BMW wagon into Canada.

It could certainly be brought in from Canada, but would take about 6 months of waiting for everything and cost probably $6,000 - $10,000 to get one into the USA legally, which would probably wipe out a lot of the incentive.

It might be a German TUV inspection failure, though, and was pulled off the road. Those inspections are really strict, and the cars that don't make it are very often sold really cheap (400-500 euros for a car like this) to the
immigrants that bring them back to West Africa, Lebanon, Turkey, Albania and places like that.
