badboyV6 4 Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 Yeah im well chuffed - not on the home straight yet though- ive got to sort out if its ok that i can pick it up in about 3 weeks and make sure hes ok accepting a less worrying deposit as giving 800 quid to someone in another country is not wise! Its not easy as he doesnt understand english too well either lol Apparently i dont have to pay duty on it as its over a certain age (6 months) :-) I just need to pay the fee to register it over here :-)http://www.sat-info-page.de/golf/index.html Link to post Share on other sites

badboyV6 4 Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 lol very good Stu- The cars costing 4200, flight to cologne airport around 60 quid, petrol and ferry/ hovercraft back to the UK Dover for 60 quid. I need to look into TUV/ MOT rules etc as id like to drive on German plates for a bit ;-) 1st thing i need to do when i get back is register it which cost 34 quid - theres no duty as the car is over 6 months old- thats the rules :-) For the MOT i know ill need RHD headlamps (An excuse to get some mk4's i think :-)) and im not sure but i will need the speedo changed whether or not its a requirement for the MOT as otherwise itll be a pain! Thats it m8, oh and road tax ;-)So all in around 4500- 4600 :-p Link to post Share on other sites
