Negative ghost rider. It's a 25 year rule for the US. It's a 15 year for Canada.

Import rule is 15 years for any vehicle originally sold in Canada, but 25 years from any other country. Did Canada get a D2 with a manual?

I didn't realize that 2000 S8 was on the exception list. That would still require federalization, though. So you'd have to change all lights, speedometer, etc to be US spec.

Yea,You could easily get a broken one for 500-1000$ and take all the parts from it and possibly some $$ parting it out.
You would have to do it through licensed importer plus shipping cost

I'm also guessing that you could use a manual transmission from the C5 A6 as I believe those are 01E trans. I think the C5 allroads also have the 01E transmission.

Well thats what i meant. What usdm common car (A6 or S4) can i get the parts from a wreck... Thats good info.
