PS You can get LHD 996TTs in this country for under 50k if you look hard enough.

Jezzzus thats cheap

According to yahoo finance that's £55K on the nose - makes you think doesn't it.

Is there any taxes/import charges to be paid to the government to import something like this?

[silver993tt]

no import tax because it's coming from another EU country.

Is there VAT to pay on it when it's registered?

[silver993tt]

No VAT if it's already been paid in the source EU country. If it were new you'd have to pay the VAT in the UK but not in the source country.

There was a 996TT for sale on Mobile.de (but based in London) for a staggering £44k - no crash damage, seemingly no 'stories'. Now that has to make you wonder ..........

Sounds about right, I've been looking at a 2003 LHD 996TT for £56K. When you consider the equivalent RHD car would be around the £70K mark it really makes you think.

Doesn't have to have a suspect history - that's just how much cheaper these cars are on the continent....you're just too used to rip off britain.

Gulp. I guess they're cheaper to buy new in the first place, else the depreciation is worse over there.

thanks for clearing that one up

I tell you what, 55 grand for a GT2 is just insane. Insane.

[phelix]

I think in Germany the seller is obligated to tell any prospective buyers about accident damage. Thus many cars that are accident-free will say "unfallfrei" as this is a selling point. That it doesn't say this doesn't mean it's been in an accident but it is worth bearing this in mind.

Who cares about GT2s for 55k... look at this baby for the cost of a RHD tt...

Now that is a 996 I like the idea of.
