South African Imports

Post by '50 Karmann »

Has any one ever considered importing a Syncro from S.A Or would the costs out price the value of the vehicle?
Does anyone have any contacts in S.A for such if it's already been done.

Dokas,panel vans and single cabs where never available in SA.
Any syncro after 1992 from SA is not a VW factory syncro.
Import costs and shipping make it not viable.

Shipping alone would cost about £2000 and I imagine the parts issues would be even more difficult
