SC allows Subic free port to continue importing used cars...

THE Supreme Court stood pat on its earlier ruling allowing the Subic Bay Freeport Zone, a huge special economic zone north of Manila where certain taxes and duties are waived to attract investors, to continue importing used cars.

The court declared as invalid the provision in Executive Order 156 that prohibits the importation of used motor vehicles in certain areas in the country, including Subic’s free port zone.

However, the court also ruled that the assailed provision of EO 156 is valid outside the presently fenced former Subic Naval Base area, which means these imported reconditioned vehicles cannot be brought outside the fenced former Naval Base.

syet ang ganda... malamang bargain na nila iyan para lang maging pera... ang tanong makakalabas kaya iyan sa loob ng subic? lumabas na ng SC decision... tsk tsk

i want one!!!

[OTEP]

Makakalabas naman siguro since matagal nang nakapasok ang mga iyan. Before any SC ruling.

Street price in Metro Manila is Php600k. Subic price is around Php350k or less pa siguro accg to kim.

[OTEP]

this is nice ah. pano ba maglabas ng ganito? bribe the subic guards at the exit station. and pano kung mahuli sa mga lugar na may EO, what document can your present? na you paid the 500k importation tax?

tsk tsk tsk ... grabe ang talaga supreme court. it's in their hands na nga papabayaan pa nila ganito trade. mag kano kaya pagpagawa ng document stating that you "paid" the importation tax without money changing hands ...

Php390k?

you must be kidding guys! and how the heck were you able to bring a digicamera with you in the auction?

[chuaed]

i think with what otep say with regards to the price of the vehicle is true... its an auction... and the price is the minimum bid... remember its an auction and the highest bidders win... i just don't know if the taxes, duties and the vehicle registration are included already...

for the isuzu at 390 thousand... if thats the market price and tax and duty paid then its a bargain... and i want one please have it deliver to my house and i'll pay COD... i'll shoulder the vehicle registration and the insurance...

[alwayz_yummy]

aia nakuha ko ung dating delica ko at peugeot 205 ng dad ko..

alam ko taxes and duties paid, pero + 5000 for registration. at kapag sa aia dito ata sa may cubao mother registration nila( ung DO sa CR ng sasakyan mo)

390 lang pala vehicross! kala ko nasa 600K yan! makapagauction na nga sa susunod dyan ulit...

[OTEP]

The price kimpOy sent me were the prices of the winning bids already. So mura pa din. Sana pala natanong ko ang starting prices. hehehe.

AFAIK, these vehicles are still not included in the SC ruling. They were imported before the newer regulations took effect.

with regards to subic, wala namang problema sa Registration. it's way better than Cebu...

please shed light on this. kasi i resent the fact that EVERYONE thinks ALL cebu papers are dirty when in fact A LOT of smuggled vehicles have manila plates...which i might add can be "bought" for a six-figure price

baka naman case to case basis lang yung mga units sa cebu. please don't generalise

i'm very much concerned kasi we import cars through cebu...and it is exactly these statements that hurt our business. personally, i think this (the fact that cebu papers are all dirty) is exagerrated to favor the sellers in Subic...

reactions guys?

hehe... your right, I might have exagerated

way better

but please don't take me wrong. Never said madumi yung sa Cebu. what I meant was getting registration in Subic is faster than Cebu in our experience. like kahit stickers ng registration ina-abot kami ng months before we get it.

it's impossible for me to promote Subic or even Cebu sellers. I just want a good deal. but if you were to ask me where would I choose between Subic and Cebu, I'd go 70% for Cebu. We'll just have to extend our patience on the registration in exchange for quality vehicles.

hey, just a newbie here.
anyway, my dad's looking for a second hand car that can be bought from subic free port. we need to buy a good car, van.
