I have a 2017 Golf Alltrack (18K miles) which I am considering to ship to Italy indefinitely. Purchased in the US, but apparently built in Mexico. Can anyone suggest if it's worth shipping to Italy and what modifications would have to be made? Shipping costs are reasonable, but I cant seem to get the details from the dealer here, and figured what better place to ask than here! Surely someone here would have some suggestions.

 

First posts normally go in introductions else you could get a free fix and we never see you again!!!

Default Welcome to Volkswagen Forum - Rules & Recommendations

You have to make your own decision whether you want to import this Alltrack after a test drive.

Which engine size/type is fitted?
