*** THIS LISTING IS FOR MY UNCLE ***

(he's active eBay member (bbjoko) but since I was in same situation and successfully sold my flooded Ducati motorcycle back in January here on eBay, he asked me to list this one for him)

STORY

So, it is with deep regret that he is offering today his much appreciated 2012 Volkswagen EOS 2.0L TSI with Automatic DSG transmission Convertible car.

VERY long story short, he bought this car in January 2013 on an online auction site (Copart), with a SALVAGE-FLOOD US TITLE. March 2013, Province of Quebec's government decided that flood-damaged vehicles could NOT be registered anymore (effective March 2013), no matter when they were purchased. Still hoping they would consider registration for at least those of us who bought flooded cars BEFORE the new law, he spent the following months taking EVERYTHING apart, cleaning, repairing and/or replacing everything that had to be done, FOR HIM DRIVING THIS CAR IN SUMMER (not for resale or whatever).

One year later, after working countless hours on the vehicle, he's basically stuck with it, since may 20^th of this year, government officially announced they will stick to their decision.

WHAT YOU WILL GET

Perfectly running 2012 VW EOS 2.0L TSI convertible car with 16,169 miles to the counter.

EVERYTHING is working on this car, including, of course, the magnificent hard-top convertible roof. There're no error codes, no malfunctions.

What was done on the car? (My uncle works part-time in a VW garage, rebuilding salvage cars, so his experience in the matter is undeniable)

-      COMPLETE professional cleanup;

-      Changed driver's seat mechanism (the whole thing, since it's all electrical and didn't do well underwater…);

-      Cleaned both front and back passenger's seats (some rust is visible on front passenger seat frame, didn't bother him, doesn't affect anything);

-      Changed the complete transmission shifter mechanism;

-      Changed all airbag modules;

-      Changed complete roof opening motor and mechanism;

-      Changed all fluids;

What is missing on the car?

-      Bluetooth module;

-      Media module;

(They're cheap to buy and easy to install. Was planning on doing so, but since it's a total loss of money in his situation, he stopped)

CONDITION/WARRANTY/TITLE

The car is obviously not new, has absolutely no warranty and is sold strictly as is. We try to describe everything to the best of our knowledge and have included pictures of the major flaws (some scratches, very small bumps). MANY more pictures are available, eBay's limit is 24, and we will send everything you want on demand.

As for the title, this car now has a CANADIAN salvage title. It did have an US title, which was destroyed by our government (normal procedure), once my uncle transferred the car on his name. Having the US title back is possible, we don't consider it a necessity, but are open to discuss.

SHIPPING

Shipping and shipping fees are buyer's responsibility. I gained great experience in shipping matter when I sold my Ducati so, I won't do the whole job for you, but definitely will help. The transporter that carried my motorcycle back to Florida did a perfect job and was the cheapest I could find. No matter who transports it, you will definitely need the service of a broker to cross the border (+/- US500$). I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TAXES YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY, since these are regulated by US government.

Of course, local pick-up is welcome. We don't mind shipping overseas and outside US, but have far less experience in the matter. (Shipping to Canada is worthless, basically all provinces share Quebec's vision on flooded cars, so you will be using it for parts only)

PAYMENT

Upon successful sale, an immediate 500$ deposit will be required. Full payment is due prior to shipping, once everything is set up. Will accept PayPal, cashier's check (won't ship before it clears) or Wire Transfer.

QUESTIONS/ADITIONAL INFORMATION

Please feel free to ask any question you may have, we will answer ASAP; pictures, videos, local visits are available.

We've had enough trouble in this adventure, so we want an easy and pleasant transaction.

HAPPY BIDDING!
