Super fans of the Volkswagen Spektrum run of Golf Rs in 40 different semi-tailored colors can likely already tell you that Canada received its own run of Spektrum cars in the 2018 model year – one year before America took delivery of its own mix. Given the extra year of being on the road, plus the relative weakness of the Canadian dollar right now against the U.S. dollar, these cars can make for excellent value.

This one is Dark Violet Pearl, one of 34 in Dark Violet Pearl in the Spektrum program according to the owner. The car served as the owner’s daily since 2018, meaning it’s not perfect nor a collection piece. That said, it could make for a great entry into the tailored driver space.

So sure, Alberta may not be that close to where you reside, but Canadian imports are relatively easy into the USA. This one’s old enough that you don’t have to worry about transferring the warranty because that’s got to be expired at this point, and Google says today’s exchange rate applied to that price weighs in at about $24,500 USD.
