Asking for a Turbo to Germany - Questions

Post by **Macflai** » 22 May 2007, 21:34

Well,

I have sent an email to Mr Maier but I don't understand german very well, maybe one of you know about the way he uses to send the parts and receive the exchange ones...

I wrote:

I write this letter from Kanarische Inseln. I own a 1.6 TD (JX) Caravelle GL Syncro 14". I have been watching your website looking for a Turbolader. I need a new one for my van. But I have some questions.

What is the way to pay you? Credit Card (Visa, Mastercard)? an account?
How much would be the price of the post and package to Kanarische Inseln
(Spanien)? I mean Turbolader + Post and Package.

He answers:

Hallo Herr Diaz

vielen dank für die Anfrage

der Turbo ist auf Lager , der Turbo geht nur per Vorauskasse raus, plus
Pfand für das Altteil !

1 x Turbo 1.6TD JX 449.00€
1 x Pfand 70.00€
1 x Versand bei Vorauskasse 45.00€
---------------
564.00€

Nach Eingang des Betrages auf das Konto geht die Ware zu ihnen raus!

Ok I understand with the help of a dictionary:

Thank you for the inquiry. the turbo is in stock, the turbo goes only by Vorauskasse raus, plus pledge for the old part! After receipt the amount on the account the commodity goes to them raus! Thanks. Cordial greetings.

The thing is: The same transport company who send/bring me the parts take the old turbo and sends to Mr Maier??

Vorauskasse = pre-paid

He'll ship the parts as soon as he sees the money in his account.

Doesn't actually metion anything about how your old turbo is to be sent back or how you get your 70 Euro deposit back when you do.

No experience of dealing with the guy ...so can't tell you how he would "normally" do it.

Have you tried Gunzl for a brand new one outright?

You will need his bank details too; they dont usually do cheques or cards or anything other than money transfer which adds to the cost a bit.

I purchase a brand new one outright from Reinhold last year.

Sometimes it is easier to phone, he used to have someone in the workshop by the name of Helmut, who could speak good English. As Mark says, they normally require a bank transfer...

I notice that DeJaeger also has them on his webshop:

Hi,

there are differences between syncro turbo and 2WD turbo. Buy one for syncro, so you have no problems by passing water e.g.
