Hola!
Quiero presentarme y preguntar algunas cosas. No puedo hablar español muy bien, así perdoname si debo utilizar ingles porque es más rapido a escribir y pienso en ese lenguaje:)
So, I'm writing from Finland. The reason for this is that I'm moving to Spain next summer (2007), to Ciudad Real to be more accurate. One could say I'm an Audi-enthusiast, so it's nice that I found this club and forum! I'm a member of Audiclub Finland over here and we also have a very active and useful website and forum, and all kinds of events taking place every now and then. If you want to take a peek and maybe say hello, you may do so at this address, using the "International"-forum: Audifinns forum
You need to register in order to be able to write and instructions for that can be found in english in the "Readme"-topic of the International forum. English is the preferrable language to write in, if you're not a fluent finnish writer
The club homepage can be found here: Audiclub Finland
So, to the point then... When I move over there, I will have sold my present car in Finland and will be looking for a new one to buy in Spain. I have a pretty good overview of the local market by looking at Coches.net and Autoscout24. The type of car I'm looking to buy is of course Audi, preferrably turbo and absolutely quattro. S3, A4 or S4 of yearmodel 98-01 are my first choices, but TT Coupe and A6 3.0 V6/2.7TT are not out of the question if a good one comes across. I believe finding the right car for me is not a problem, but I'd appreciate so much if you can give me useful links and tips to these services:
- a car workshop specialized in Audi/VAG vehicles (in La Mancha/Madrid area) for regular maintenance and for tuning/upgrading purposes as well. Depending on the state of the car that I buy, I'll propably be upgrading the suspension and stabilisers, getting some more power from the engine (ecu programming, exhaust, nozzles, turbos) and if necessary upgrading the seats to sport-type.
- sources for parts (at good prices of course;) ) and accessories.
- some car dealers with good reput*tion and maybe special knowledge of Audis, can be from anywhere in Spain, but La Mancha/Madrid area is of course easier.
- can someone explain the registration process in Spain when buying a car from a private seller/a professional car dealer? Is there some waiting period before getting the plates?
Sorry for making this such a long story;) and THANK YOU so much for any answers to these questions! I'm looking forward to meet you people and maybe make some friends too when I finally get over there
And the last thing for now, if someone's interested here's a few fotos of my current car (and 1 of the old one too): A4 quattro y Coupe typ89
Gracias y hasta luego, amigos!
