Milo Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Right chaps, a fellow TSNer needs your help Pambs (Charalambos) has been looking for a 1.8T cab in Cyprus and had seen a UK model already imported into Cyprus. The car appears to be a 2003 03 plate base model (see below) and the dealer has quoted him £26,000 (uk pounds) which includes £21,000 for the car and £5,000 shipping and taxes He has asked me a couple of questions and I said I'd post a thread for him as there are people on TSN who know a lot more than me about these things. I'm sure Pambs will be along to give his input as well 1. How much do you reckon you could get a 2003 (03 plate) 1.8T Sport cab for in the UK (quattro and non-quattro). He would consider Audi dealers, auctions etc. 2. Assuming a £21k budget for the car, what do you reckon he could get for that in the UK (has to be a 1.8T)? 3. Has anyone ever exported/imported a car to Cyprus and knows the costs involved? 4. Do you think Audi dealers would be prepared to get involved in the export process? 5. Are there any UK based companies who specialise in sourcing UK cars and exporting them for customers? Here is the original car Pambs saw. Personally, I think it is way over priced for what it is and I'm not a fan of those wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pambs Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 I have found out that shipping will cost me 500UKP so a car between 20-22000 to buy from UK would be ok I'm looking only for the 1.8T as for bigger displacemnt the tax is more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chav Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 So do they drive on the left in Cyprus? (am asking, I have no idea) You should have no problem finding a 1.8T in that budget! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanW Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Christ that is over priced! I'd sell him mine for that figure and I'm sure you could get it home for less than £5K too At this time of year you'd pick up an 03 plate sport for £20000 from a dealer and around £17000 from auction. I can't really help on the export side of things but I do know a shipping company that operates out of Portbury docks and ships to and from Cyprus, I'll try and find the details this afternoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pambs Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Yeap same driving system as in the UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pambs Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Do you think that for that price i'll be able to find a quattro model also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pambs Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 The car has 35000 miles on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanW Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 No mate, Quattro cars are a lot rarer and would roughly carry a £1000 - £1500 premium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanW Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 [ QUOTE ] The car has 35000 miles on it [/ QUOTE ] In that case I'd say that car is only about £10000 over priced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pambs Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 In that case i'm glad i joined the forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pambs Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 [ QUOTE ] No mate, Quattro cars are a lot rarer and would roughly carry a £1000 - £1500 premium [/ QUOTE ] So that sould be around 18000 from auction and 21000 from a dealer?

DeanW Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Somewhere in that region, remember there's a lot of options on A4s so that will also affect the price too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted October 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Pambs - have a look on www.audi.co.uk and the used car search. It will give you an idea on what Audi dealers are asking for 2003 cabs. Remember that is not what you would pay especially as it is nearly Winter here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
