But the VIN wouldn't be any good in the states.  I think your suggestion of Canada is the way to go, there.

As long as a vehicle is 25 years old, an atypical VIN shouldn't matter.

IME that's correct - IIRC one of my bikes has something like a six digit frame number. No issue titling and registering this one here in WV. They just needed to make sure the import paperwork was in order.

IIRC, SEATs are just rebadged VWs for at least the past 30 years.  Not there wouldn't be fun cars to be had, if you like subcompact.  It may actually be cheaper to import a SEAT than buy an A2 Golf nowadays.

Not quite rebadged - VW, Seat and Skoda plus certain Audis share the same platform, but the bodywork is different. And they're often tweaked slightly different, and as a result you get something like the Seat Cupra R that's a hotter GTI for the same or less money.
