Purchase of a Saab 900 turbo 16 S MY 1991 in Rome
Inviato: domenica 12 aprile 2015, 21:07
Cari amici / Dear Saab friends in Italy,
maybe you can advise me what to do concerning my problem.
I'm a Saab passionate together with my father since 1986 and we are owning in our family actually a Saab 9000 2.3 turbo S Airflow in odoardogreymetallic MY 1991, a Saab 9-5 Aero MY 2004 in graphitegreenmetallic and a Saab 900 turbo 16 S Airflow Convertible MY 1993 (bought in the Netherlands in 2013 but the car was imported from Italy in 2001).
Last week I bought a wonderful black Saab 900 turbo 16 S in Rome on April 2nd, 2015 to complete our Saab collection. The car is MY 1991 with just 88.900 km on the speedometer and the condition of the car is appropriate to the mileage. So far so good.
When I bought the car I got from the seller the original "Libretto" and just the copy of the "Certificado di Proprieta". The reason for this: The two women in the Automobile Club of Italy in Rome told the seller not to hand out the original CDP and the Italian number plates because he has no chance to sign off the car then from Italian car register when the buyer does not send him back these documents.
As far as I know, it would have been the obligation of the women in the Automobile club of Italy to sign off the car from the Italian register with the information that the car is going into export abroad. Because these women were not informed very well, they told the seller that he can only sign off his car from Italian register when I give him a certificate of correct registration in Germany.
The German registration authorities do need the original CDP and the number plates in order to register the car successfully in Germany. The German authorities will inform then the Italian authorities about the successful registration in Germany. But with no original CDP and Italian number plates which both will be made invalid there is no chance to register the car in Germany.
My problem: Although the seller promised at the Italian automobile club to send the original CDP to me if necessary for registration in Germany, now he refuses to do so and wants to get another 500 Euro for sending me the paper and the number plates.
During the stay at the Italian automobile club I paid 50 Euro for the registration of my name and full address in the CDP and the seller told me that another 300 Euro have to be paid for the final deregistration of the car in Italy. I have agreed to pay him this 300 Euro although now after research on this I have not read about such further costs for deregistration.
My question: Should I transfer 500 Euro to the bank account of the seller, although I do not know if he will keep his promise? Or should I just transfer just 300 Euro as I have promised in the location of the Automobile club? But who gives me certainty that the seller will keep his promise then and send me the CDP and the number plates? The seller first told me that he has sent the CDP by FedEx through 24 hour service paying 68 Euro for it but it seems that he was lying. Nothing arrived yet and know as mentioned he wants to get 500 Euro for his "work" sending the paper and the plates.
Obviously he is playing with me and wants to achieve a higher price for his car in this way. By the way, the car was not cheap, I paid the full price for it (12.900 Euro, price wasn't absolutely not negotiable) and as mentioned the 50 Euro for the registration of my name as buyer of the car on the CDP. The seller is pilote by Allitalia, a really well situated person driving also a Mercedes ML 350 Diesel, also having a Lancia Delta Integrale. His wife drives a Mini Countryman and the seller also told me that some years ago he sold his Jaguar XK8 to the chairman of the Norwegian Jaguar club. Therefore I am really wondering why such a person is playing such a bad game with me.
Can you help me with giving me an advice? Or is there anybody willing to contact the seller and to mediate between him and me?
Thank you very much for your advice in advance.
