Auction over!

KimpOy has texted me the ff. prices:
Land Rover Discovery 1 - Php400k-500k
Isuzu Vehicross - Php390k
Toyota LC80 gasoline - Php380k
Nissan Safari - Php265k
Jeep Cherokee - Php225k
Ford Explorer - Php155k

1. All Land Rovers are 4x4. I don't think they'd be called LR's if they didn't have the traction of 4wd.
2. Nope, they are ex-JDM converted to LHD. I've checked out units here in Manila already.
3. Most ex-JDM are V8. Yes there are diesels. But I've had more luck finding diesels among locally sold, 'casa' units. Yun nga lang asking is Php850k for a diesel/matic Disco1.
4. Some have reliability issues. Kung DIY ka, ok lang naman siguro. Pero medyo mahal nga lang talaga ang parts. Consumables are not that expensive. But if you needed to repair something, prepare wallet first. Btw, madaming third party service centers ang LR. Dito lang sa area namin tatlo na agad. But again, it's the LR genuine parts that cause the heart attack.

kimpOy sent me pics from the inspection day last week. The auction will be tomorrow (Saturday). Makibalita na lang tayo.

Here's one of the pics:

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?

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...

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.
