TOTAL COST · NOT LISTING PRICE
The asking price is only the first number.
A German listing can look cheaper and still lose its advantage after travel, export plates, transport, NoVA, registration and deferred maintenance. We compare the total case before recommending the trip.
One mandate from the brief to the Austrian registration path.

Inspect the finalist
The selected car is checked on site, including body, documents, diagnostics and test drive where possible.

REAL CASE · BRUNNTHAL, BAVARIA
The €15,900 Passat that cost just over €18,200 in Austria.
The client wanted a good Passat for up to €18,000. The Austrian shortlist produced hail damage, missing histories and weak maintenance. Germany produced one serious candidate.

THE EVIDENCE
Why this one survived the search.
Original body
Paint measurements across the checked panels were consistent with factory paint, with no evidence of body filler or major accident repair.
Documented maintenance
The available service history was consistent, and the car had recently received service and brake work.
Healthy diagnostic picture
No active faults were present. Stored inactive glow-plug and ABS entries were documented without presenting them as current failures.
Good operating data
At inspection, requested and actual rail pressure, turbo actuator and EGR values tracked closely. DPF differential pressure was low. These are useful signals, not a mechanical guarantee.
A seller who provided evidence
The private seller supplied documents and videos before the trip and allowed a proper on-site inspection and test drive.
DECISION
Buy. The car matched the brief, the condition supported the history and the total landed cost remained sensible against the Austrian alternatives.
The inspection was non-destructive and performed at one point in time. OBD readings support a decision; they do not prove the future condition of injectors, turbocharger, EGR or DPF. Where deeper testing is justified, we recommend an authorised workshop.
