Hey !!!!! You´re from Portugal ... me too... where are you ? Algarve ? I´m in Lisbon, going to get mine next week.. It´s the R5 TDi versão base isn´t it ? Mine is similiar to your´s, but it´s the top version, with antracithe seats and some more extras (according to your extras list..) But the outside color is the same... congratulations..

P.S. Didn´t write in Portuguese because it´s rude.. do you have hotmail ? would like to talk with you about the car..

 

[T-Reg Wiz]

Lool.. haven´t noticed it.. you´re from Cartaxo and you have your msn mail there...

Your Treg looks great. And what good mileage! I assumed that the Euro models might not have all the options of the US models but you do, plus you get the best diesel and transmission we cannot have.

What is it like in portugal???

Since we cannot get the R5TDI in the USA, Maybe i will move to Portugal to get one!!!

Hi!!!

Think again! Here (The R5 TDI) it will cost you 65 000 euro (78 000 USD)! :twisted:
For that price you can buy the V10 TDI on the US!!! And still save some bucks for the diesel fuel!!!
Why ! Portuguese taxes! Whe dont build cars here so, as any third world country, we just charge them with Taxes!

Cheers

Hmmm, but you can afford one. Let me guess, you work for the Gov't????

 

[migpower]

Nope! Unfortunate! :twisted:

And thanks all of you for yours photos comments! :lol:

mine is going to cost even more... about 70000 euros... a full equiped V10 or something like that in the US... I don´t work for the Gov , but portuguese, to compensate the high prices, are a little crazy.. and some of us also have good jobs.. but the center of this is... there, you guys probably buy it on cash.. here, almost all of us buy it with credit..
a V10, with normal extras, costs about 143000 euros in portugal.. it´s crazy...
