When I Googled the VIN this came up on CARFAX:

CARFAX indicates that this vehicle has been reported stolen.

CARFAX strongly recommends you contact the Insurance Bureau of Canada - Investigative Services for additional verification by calling 1-866-457-5719 or by completing the IBC web form.

CARFAX indique que ce véhicule a été signalé comme étant volé.

CARFAX recommande fortement que vous contactiez le Bureau d'assurance du Canada - Services d'enquête pour toute vérification supplémentaire en signalant 1-866-457-5719 ou en remplissant le formulaire web BAC.

I would call that 866 number ASAP! Hope it is a mistake.

The vehicle was purchased from Copart Auto Salvage as a theft recovery. Vehicle is no longer considered stolen. I would like to know if anyone has a contact that I may use to import this vehicle to the US. Thanks in advance.

it is highly unlikely you will be able to import it the normal way. Your best bet is to pick it up in Canada, call your insurance and get it insured, and drive it home. If you can't get temporary plates for the ride home, I do not know what you should do.

CDi not allowed in USA

Sorry the Canadian Smart cdi cannot be registered in the USA. I looked at doing the same thing a few years back... they do not meet the Emission Standards. Wikipedia has more info....
