Right then ...
... Have to say I wasn’t entirely comfortable with the whole pay up front for a car you’ve never seen before situation but decided to go with it anyway. Was dealing with another importer for about a month before Jurgen and got nowhere, he only managed to find me one half decent example. After just a few days dealing with Jurgen we started bidding on a few at a fairly low budget and not on cars that I was immensely interested in, and then it came!!! A 95 (basically as new as I could get) Manual, Twin Turbo with extremely low miles, 19inch chrome wheels, full veilside kit (I know a few people are not keen but I LOVE IT), finished in a custom dark blue/almost purple paint job… STUNNING!
I obviously told Jurgen that my budget could stretch (bound to happen) and we went for it. I got a call in the early hours while his man in Japan was inspecting it and all seemed to be in pretty much perfect condition, so I confirmed the bid. Got another call pretty early that morning confirming that I had won the bid!
It was 2 or 3 weeks before it got on the ship and a long 4/5 weeks shipping during which I stayed in contact with Jurgen that helped out and cleared up and questions I had, he also got photos and update through out the duration.
Car arrived at the docks last Thursday (07/07/05), Jurgen happened to be half way between me and the docks so I picked him up on the way. As soon as I saw it even as dirty as it was I fell in love with it, the whole car looked awesome.
Got the car back that day, Jurgen came back with me to inspect the car and sorted the active spoiler warning light out, (cheers dude) had it MOT’ed on the Friday, I registered it on the Monday while the car was busy getting its full service and got the registration back on the Thursday, gave it a good clean then took it for a good drive and fuck me… what a car!
Id only ever had the NA before and I thought that was nice and fast! The TT really is in a different league! I can’t believe the power it that thing! I’ve been my mates EVO 8 with 340bhp 100s of times and another friends brand new Pro Drive with 305bhp and didn’t think the Supe would feel anywhere near as fast, but it really does!!! We are yet to race them but I don’t think they are going to ‘kill’ me. (until u hit a corner, damn their 4x4).
Anyway to sum it all up Jurgen provided an excellent and professional service and as a result I’ve got the exact example of my dream car, he’s an all-round top bloke and once you get to understand his Jordy accent you can actually have convo with the bloke! Lol
But seriously Jurgen thanks for everything I appreciate everything you’ve done mate. See you next week! (and everyone else at JAE).
Hope this threads helps anyone thats thinking about importing a car or using Jurgen. Now fook this ... im out for a drive, and hopefully a few races
