Good deal?
« on: 07 May 2008, 05:22 »
I don't know if this is considered one of those "what is its worth" threads, but I digress, I found a VW gti for 515 EUR. The 8v is defective with some kind of bad sensor and there is a 16v that comes with it. The body is in fair condition with no rust. Am I getting ripped off or should is this a good deal?

Thanks

I think he means he's getting a 16v lump with the 8v car. I'd say it was worth the money really, the cost of a 16v lump alone is between £100 - £300 so I think that is a good deal, but as your location is "The United States" I'd say the import duties would be pretty hefty. (I'm presuming it's a European car you're buying from the EU somewhere as you stated the cost in € euros.)

Great English British pounds  :wink:
If you want to be pedantic  :laugh:

It does sound like a good deal, how much is it going to cost to import?
