Default 99.0 skip

99.5 has the upgraded interior and headlights.

Other than that, seems like a decent deal.

Default I'm pretty sure we've sold pre-owned A4 Avants to Canadians?

Are you talking about a particular year/model of wagon that can't be imported? As far as I know if the car doesn't have daytime running lights they just need to be added in order to import.

Default Here's the current list of banned Audi's from the US

<i>
1992 TO 1994 100CS Quattro Wagon
1994 100S Wagon
1995 S6 Wagon, Wagon Quattro
1995 TO 1997 A6 Wagon
1996 AND 1997 A6 wagon Quattro
1998 TO 2001 A4 Wagon &amp; Wagon Quattro
2000 TO 2008 A6 Sedan with 4.2L V-8 ENGINE
2000 TO 2002 S4
2002 TO 2004 S6 Wagon
2003 RS6
2004 A6 Sedan Quattro with 4.2L V8 ENGINE
2004 TO 2006 S4 Cabriolet with 4.2L V8 ENGINE
2004 AND 2005 S4 Sedan and Wagon built to November 2004 with 4th digit of VIN either P or X
2007 AND 2008 S6 Sedan
</i>

So certain A4 wagons may have been allowed.
List is getting added to almost daily because of the strong Cdn $. So many manufacturers are telling Transport Canada that their new models won't pass our inspections (even though they most likely would), just so you have to buy from a Canadian dealer.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tc.gc.ca/roadsafety/importation/VAFUS/list/AUDI_.htm">http://www.tc.gc.ca/roadsafety/importation/VAFUS/list/AUDI_.htm</a</li></ul>

Default There is no reason for why they ban some models or yrs & not others.

The '95.5 S6 sedan can come in, but the '95.5 wagon can't.

The '95 &amp; '98 A6 quattro wagons can come in, but '96 &amp; '97 can't.

Default Right right... I get that. But why is the B5 S4 on the "banned from US" list?

There are THOUSANDS in the US! Haha I know for a fact they aren't banned... that's why I am confused. Is it supposed to be the 98 and 99 B5 S4? Because I know those were made in Europe but not imported into the US until 2000-2002.
