Tom,

I've got a few Golfs in inventory - I'll be glad to sell you one if 
prices/specs are close.  Our export prices are still reasonable although 
Volkswagen AG is slowly pushing our import prices up.  Let me know if the 
idea interests you and I'll check model availability and prices.  What is 
Passat availability there today?  I've got around twenty of them, much 
better than Golf, where I might have four to six unsold units.
