Huge Conflict: Mercedes ML or Volvo XC90 T5...

[skeptic]

I own them both but can't figure out which one is easier to import. The Mercedes Benz ML 430 is from 1999, made in USA. Volvo made in Sweden 2004.

I'm going back to Manila in 3 weeks and still haven't figured out how much customs will tax me. Do you guys know just by estimates what the duties will be?

Need real expert advice. Remember...I don't need 2 cars. If you've done this many, many times before, let me know. Open to suggestions/trade/ideas...

The most hassle-free way to deal with your car problem is to sell them both and just buy a car here. Unless you're connected to the higher echelons of Govt here (like Ofc of the president), they will milk you dry and there's a high possibility you'll be paying far more than you're prepared to, far more than the amount of your car.

+1 on this

and TS, if you can afford those kind of cars, you can afford a newer locally-available one or two.

Just buy a Dodge Nitro. Costs 1.95M. And atleast it's brand spanking new.

Nothing's cheap here. Even a single flat tops candy is priced at P2 each in some sari sari stores.

Ahahaha! the price is doubled! Ahahaha. Tsk... oh Philippines!

[renzo_d10]

If you want a cheap vehicle 1M~1.5M, don't expect yourself driving a brand new volvo, a brand new benz or a brand new bmw ... include chrysler and dodge in your list cause those brands mentioned would cost you a lot ~ 2M+++

If you're really importing a car then go for a Merc Or BMW. It's easier to get parts and find specialized shops for it than the Volvo
