Thank you for email. I know you had many choices on ebay and I appreciate that you've contacted me. My location is Salerno, Italy and the car is here too. I've made the auction for UK because the car is UK model with UK specs (right-hand drive). So I'm trying to sell it as low as I can to complete the sale fast. The car comes with log book, keys and all documents to register it in UK, and also an invoice in your name. It meets DOT and EPA guidelines so there will be no problems regarding UK Customs policy on receiving the car. I didn't pay for import taxes when the car was brought in Italy and if I keep the car like that, I'm going to lose it.
The car has clear title (in my hands), HPI cleared, no outstanding finanace, perfect cosmetic and engine conditions. You will have to pay just the taxes to register the car in UK. If the car is not how I described it, I offer a full refund, upon the return of the car (return shipping on my expense). The car is insured during transportation and it takes a week to get it.
The final price for 2004 VW Golf 1.9 TDI GTI is ?3,500 (this price includes the shipping and insurance).
Let me know if you are still interested to buy this car.
Regards, Greg
