    Spares availability

    Hi Guys,
    I'm a n00b to your forum, but not a n00b to SEAT's (I've got numbers 5 & 6 at the moment)

    My wife and I are currently looking to emigrate to Aus, and I'm seriously tempted to bring over my Cordie. It's not worth anything, but it's been almost totally rebuilt over the past year inc engine swap to an ABF. The cost is fairly small to ship a car over, and compared with domestic car prices (is Autotrader any good?) I can easily afford it, including the import duties etc.

    What I'm worried about is that once I get it there, I can no longer get any spares for my toy. Obviously many of the bits are Mk2 & Mk3 golf - which is no big deal over here - but what's it like for you guys?

    Thanks in advance!
    Mark

    Thanks!

    For a money can't buy car, £750 / AUS$1200 it seems pretty good (compared to what you can buy for the same cash over with you.

    Bring them both Mark!

    The general parts are hard to find from vw but the after market support is strong. I just recently changed the timing belt on my cupra & vw at Penrith here in Sydney had trouble finding all the bits I wanted but my local auto accessory shops had no problem finding after market parts for me. All of this was before I found this forum which has got the greatest bunch of helpful water cooled fans on earth! People like Golf Loon from Camden gti seem to be able generate parts out of thin air, God bless him!

    Put the Seat on a boat, we need more here!

    Yeah bring it mate.
    I can supply SEAT parts brand new and used and there are lots of places to get VW parts which cross over.
    Good to see someone checking on here before emigrating, rather than arriving here and expecting to buy a good VW. most end up dissilussioned and end up forced into a rubbish locally built car.
