I don't usually like these cars, they're a bit 'gay' / hairdresser...


but, for 2003, 41,000 miles, 225 bhp spec - it's a absolute bargain £6400?

These engine's can be remapped to 260 + bhp easy too. Plus the ladies would love it.

Gotta be a con right? mis type? etc.

I just got a reply off him...

The car's in italy with him,

basically I think it sounds fucking bonus as fuck..

quote:
Hello ,

Thank you for your interest in purchasing my TT.
The vehicle is in good condition, has no technical damage at all, no scratches or dents, no hidden defects, no smoking. It's fun and robust to drive. Technical inspection and emissions testing is passed and stamped as well. It has title of ownership, cleared of any obligations or fees and comes with all the documents you need to register it. The price I am looking for my car is £6,400 including the shipping costs,insurance and handling(delivery to UK).
You will not have to pay additional taxes for this (VAT reclaimable).

I have worked in UK for the last 2 years and I've purchased the car there. My company wanted me back home, so currently I'm in Italy. I've bring the car home with me.The car is now located in Italy.I decided that is better to sell it because I don `t use it anymore (the wheel is on right side and is very difficult for me to drive it here) and it `s a pitty to keep such a car and not to use it.

I realize that is a cheap price for such a car but my special situation makes me do things that I wouldn't do in normal Circumstances.I've wanted to register it here and keep it for me,unfortunately import taxes and england regulations made me change my mind.Now I am trying to sell it back too for such a low price because next week I have a deadline term for paying those taxes.I can offer you a safe deal for bought of us.Let me know if you are intrested to buy the car.Please feel free to email me with any questions you may have.

Thank you!



Thing is, Why would I need to register it again, as it's already registered in the UK and hence the plates are UK plates etc.

Lol knock £400 off the price and I'll fly out there, pick up the keys and drive it back

as long as you had a comb, and brushed your hair back with some aviator shades, only then would it work
