Richy Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] so I left it off [/ QUOTE ] Might be wise to seal it though, maybe with a stubby ?

davyk31 Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 So how much do the stubby aerials cost when you convert dollars to sterling and add postage etc. Also how long do they take to arrive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ekin_88 Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Hi Richy, Great post one question does your service/ manual in English and does it have a foreign dealers stamp or data stamp on it to say its an import ? thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekin_88 Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 [ QUOTE ] Ordered a GTi from Select today. I'm sure 8-12+ weeks are going to fly by. NOT! Here is what I went for: <ul type="square"> 2.0T 200bhp 5dr Blue Graphite Pearl Effect Anthracite Vienna Leather 18 Inch Monza Alloy Wheel Cruise Control Electric Folding Door Mirrors & Surrounding Area Lighting I-Pod Preparation (in arm rest) Multifunction Computer Highline Radio RCD 500 with 6CD & Sound Pack Rear Parking Sensor Winter Pack icw Leather Upholstery Total saving was around £4k over VW UK [/ QUOTE ] Hi Richy, sorry for the extra question I am on the website now http://www.select-automotive.com/faqs12.php I read in the FAQ this statment What happens about Value Added Tax payment? English Value Added Tax of 17.5% is due on the vehicle. This amount is calculated against the total tax free price of the vehicle in sterling at the month of entry into the United Kingdom. This is paid directly to HM Customs & Excise who will invoice the client separately. H.M Customs & Excise give the client twenty eight days in which to pay this invoice. does that mean the price quoted by them on the screen is subject to VAt ? I would have to add VAT to the price quoted ? did the currency jump alot for you on the outstanding balance ?. thank you again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richy Posted April 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 The price quoted does include VAT. You will be invoiced by Customs for the VAT separately. It was no hassle when I did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
