They are as rare as rocking horse ***** over here. You could probably count them on one hand.

If you are looking at making lots of money importing it to sell then forget it. You won't make up what it cost you to buy it and import but as a personal car that's different and admired by the VW crowd then I'd say go for it.

Mechanical parts shouldn't be a problem once it's here but anything bodywise you need to get from the USA, Europe or UK.

If you don't bring it your only option for old watercooled VW's here are MK1 and MK2 Golfs. You'll need to build one up because there aren't many modified ones that people sell unless they want big dollars. A MK1 4 door with 1.8 turbo recently went for $8000 and a pretty standard MK2 4 door (we don't have many 2 door MK2's here) goes for around $2500.

When are you coming downunder and whereabouts are you going to move to?

Cheers

It does look really tidy mate but unless you have some compelling reason to have it here, other than you spent lots on it. The maths doesn't work out.

There are a few posts on this forum.

Do a search for "importing a car".

In the MK2 section there's a Rallye that has just been imported to WA. Sugest you send the new owner (Rallyenoel) a PM to ask what it cost him.
