Guest McMsk Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Hi Guys, I live in germany, but I actually am english. I just figured out, that MKIVs are a lot cheaper in England, than in Germany. Has anyone of you got any experience with selling an MKIV to be exported? What necessaey paper work needs taking care of? Any other kind of things to watch out for? In our family by the way we already have an MKIII and an MKIV but we would like another MKIV. By the way, in what way are the uk spec calipers different? Thanks a lot Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Buy the car in the UK and fill out the bit on the V5 that says permanent export. Get new lamps, register and MOT in Germany, job done. or? That's how I've done it before although not to Germany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I live in germany we already have an MKIII and an MKIV in what way are the uk spec calipers different? UK calipers are the same as European spec, if that's what you mean. They are 4 piston calipers on the front and 2 piston on the rear. As opposed to the Jap spec calipers which are 2 piston front and single piston rear. The discs are slightly larger on the Euro/UK spec brakes as well.

Guest McMsk Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Hi Guys, well as I have not done this, and it might involve quit a bit of money. So what kind of a form is it I need to fill out to export it, where do I get it from? Otherwise I should be able to buy the car, and just drive it home to Germany on the olds plates and then do all the further paper work once I am here. Right, and I need new lights. Also need to find some good inspection office to have them regsiter everything to the cars new papers, as tuning parts, are not realy allowed in Germany. But I have the advantage, that we already have one MKIV here and I can borrow for example a stock exhaust or suspension if neceassary. By the way to answer the question, yes I speak german.

Guest McMsk Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Thats what might be more difficult, because they are strict about the parts installed on the car, especially, when a car comes to the country new, the look at literally everything on it, othwerwise I would go ahead and buy one that has a single turbo upgrade already. Has anyone done this bevore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
