What have you done with your Polo so far (and today)

[Polo_GTI]

Regardless, I know what the price should have been without VAT, but the fact that they are quoting me VAT inclusion prices (knowing that i'm from Aus) is ridiculous. And a freight cost of 100 Euro is a joke. Maybe it's just that particular salesperson but nevertheless, i'm not purchasing anything from them.

Polo GTI don't be a fool.

Look at the pricing

222eur (276aus) from kufatec
(85eur shipping, 169eur lights minus 32eur from no VAT - it IS deducted so 137eur)

304us (289aus) from eBay
(49us shipping, 255us for the lights, and you get NO reduction of price from VAT since it is a international sale)

Kufatec wins! Trust me I did my research. Also as expensive a kufatecs postage is it is express DHL and will arrive within 5 days. With very little poor handling unlike standard post. I got some things from tuning fanatics (eBay) and they took 5 weeks to arrive. Postage times do come into it. I will agree though kufatecs service is not the best and they did tell me I would get no VAT off but I did. When I messaged tuning fanatics I didn't even get a reply regarding the VAT charge.

Some VW seatbelt shoulder pads onto the front seats, a good washdown at the 24 hour wash place in concord after an attack by an army of bats!!!

Nomad, ok even if it is VAT free, the freight component from Kufatec is actually 99eur (as quoted) which equates to $293 AUD.
However, when paid through paypal in Euro, paypal add a fee so the actual price in AUD is higher still.

Ebay's price of $289 AUD is what it is, there are no further fees regardless of VAT or no VAT.

Not only is ebay's price cheaper, but even if they weren't I refuse to pay for an item with bad service. So IMO Kufatec can sit on it!

Tuning Fanatics got my order anyway, i'll keep you posted as to when it's received and the quality I received it in.

Edit; I just checked the item on ebay, and Tuning Fanatics have raised their price to $275 US, so it's a win-win as I just saved myself another $20 as I got in before the price rise =)

Kufatec are a bit out there with postage. I wanted a 26pin plug. It's very small but the wanted €57 posted. But on the other hand buying polo lights from a country the dosnt have polos is a little dodgy to me. Will be interesting to see how the arrive.

Tuning Fanatics are a german company and operate out of Germany - same as Kufatec.

Germany do have Polo's there lol

[nomadx38]

Yeah acually both kufatec and tuning fanatics are towns apart (and wouldn't surprise me if they are the same company as both stock pretty much the same parts).

I don't know where you got the idea that Germany don't have Polos. It's not like Volkswagen is German or anything...

Haha, just having a laugh, not taking the piss out of ya.

[Hail22]

Hey not to crash the party or anything, but from now on can you kids take it to PMs?

This thread does say "What have you done with your Polo so far (and today)" , not...lets debate who is the best OEM parts seller in Germany blah blah blah.

Cheers
