What is a European certificate of conformity??
 

got an email today regarding my car,, again it is a oversea's buyer. he's in austria.

so as above what is it?

thanks for any help:notworthy

He probably won't be able to drive it in Austria if it's modded,am going to face the same prob as I want to get a scoob and move to France next year,basically it's like an mot to make sure the car is safe and to regulations and if it's modded it's a big no no,am trying to find a way around the situation

well its totally standard apart from the wheels. he wanted my vin number too so he could check it with subaru in austria? obvously i didnt give my vin no out. i just dont trust oversea's buyers:(

He would be asking For the vin so Subaru could give him the certificate,that's normal.I don't blame the guy because a scoob is probably far more expensive there than in uk.put it this way a crap example of a scoob in France is 9000 euros plus,hence why I want to get one in uk and take it there.don't be too hasty,he may be genuine.

Hello to everyone,

I was the one that is interested in the STI. I'm driving an Audi S4 and TT quattro for some time now and I'm looking for a powerful car with less weight.
I'm from Austria, and we need the COC for registration in Austria (the same applies to other EC countries like France, Germany, ...) The registration is done by a department of the provincial government here in Austria and they are complicated and not very helpful.
As I've just registered here i can understand the caution.

As the Imprezas here in Austria are really expensive, so I prefer to pay less and to live with RHD.

Anyway I don't mind, best regards
Chris

have a look in the owners manual, it might be in there. they are on some vehicles.

Loads of buyers from Europe at the mo with the weak £. The need the certificate of conformity to reg the car.

thanks for the replies guys, i'll have to have a look into it?

Welcome to the site

And thanks for explaining the need of the COC.

Just goes to show not all foreign buyers are out there to rip us off :lol1:

Hope you manage to get your impreza :thumb:

If its a UK car, Subaru UK will send you a COC. You just need to phone them (Homologations Dept) and give them your VIN.

thanks for that matey i'll give tham a phone if i dont already have 1,,

Wayne,
I could get a flight next Monday to be in W/yorkshire next Tuesday. Details, and everything else via pm.
Best regards
Chris
