Proposed new taxes of 500K on imported used cars

[RedHotBlood]

AFAIK, It will only affect incoming cars, I just went to AIM Subic to look for a hi-ace kahapon and informed me na wala ng parating na cars dito sa pinas inuubos na lang daw yung stock dahil nga plus 500k na daw ang dagdag sa price? (how true kaya ito?), i saw lot's of hilux surf for export sa cambodia, wala ng box type na delica puro spacegear na lang pati pajero pinakyaw na ng cambodia. dito lang kinoconvert mura daw kasi. Hindi mo naman mailalabas ng subic yan kung kulang ang taxes na ibinayad kaya lahat ng nakikita natin na umaandar sa kalsada ok na yung tax nyan, may "umayos" na. Tama si OffRoader, kung kilala mo naman ang gagawa makakasiguro ka talaga and replace them with good after market or original parts malayo pa din ito sa original price. And usually na kinoconvert lang naman ay mga winelding na tie rod at rack end na kayang kayang palitan ng trusted mechanic mo.

Kayu naman, oo. 500k lang. Tingnan ko nga at baka meron ako sa bulsa ko.

Sakit sa ulo na naman. Mas mahal pa ang tax kaysa tsikot ko!

Mga buwaya talaga......

Dahan dahan lang sir, para kang sumisigaw sa mga all caps mo na message. masakit sa mata and tenga.

[nugundam93]

eljo, presyon niyo po. :D

[pissword]

i would prefer brand new or 2nd hand local cars... kung bibili man ako hehe mahirap mag surplus if wala masyadong lam sa cars.

[totoybato]

eljo ang sakit mo namang magsalita kaibigan

[alwayz_yummy]

HEY Eljo,

as a JUNK bulok user, I AM NOT PASOSYAL!

bakit anu tingin mo dyan sa mga local nasecondhand?maayos?

F Y I: MASMADAMI PANG LOCAL NA SECONHAND NA MASBULOK PA SA JAPANESE CONVERTED VEHICLES!

HELLO! sasakyan lang mga yan, a thing, prone to wear and tear AND DEPENDE SA CONDISYON NG PRE-OWN SA PREVIOUS OWNER.

HONESTLY, and 1 reason talaga kaya nila binenta sasakyan nila is of course MAY FLAW/SIRA NA DI NA MAKAYANANG AYUSIN NG PREVIOUS OWNER.

magbilang ka ng taong magbebenta ng cars na "baby" nila....iilan lang.

kaya for me, A USED VEHICLE, CONVERTED, LOCAL, IMPORTED, IS AND NEVER WILL BE NEW.

at remember, kahit brand-new may nasisira agad, lalo ung newly released models,

that why there are "LEMON CARS", RECALLS, ETC.

i care for our car industry, pero not in the form of monopoly, bakit anu problem ba sa competition?

kaya di magmura kuryente at cable TV natin....halos all services is a monopoly naman din...

[carlocaraddict]

oh, hinayhinay lang tayo hehehehe.

Finally! mababawasan ang mga junked converted vehicles na yan na sumisira sa automotive industry. No hard feelings na hindi na ako makakakita ng mga JDM vans.

[Jun aka Pekto]

I suppose I could sell my 06 Sonata if I move there. There's only one place where they make 3.3L V6 Sonatas and that's in Alabama USA, the same place where mine here was made. Pero sa isip ko, mga buwaya talaga.....

P500,000/53 = $9433. Langya naman. Bili ko ng brand new Sonata 3.3L dito ay $20,500 (P1,086,500). Ang import tax halos kalahati ang presyo ng tsikot.... Ouch!

Edit: Magkano ba and presyo ng 2006 Sonata GLS 3.3L V6 diyan sa Pilipinas?

[nugundam93]

eljo probably woke up on the wrong side of the bed today?

jun, not sure, but based on the srp in $, siguro x1.5 yan dito... :D

[Jun aka Pekto]

jun, not sure, but based on the srp in $, siguro x1.5 yan dito... :D

Medyo ok. Pero, medyo mahal din. For that price dito, puwede na kong makabili ng Nissan 350z coupe, Audi A4, Subaru Impreza WRX, Toyota Avalon XL, Volvo S60, Acura TSX, Mitsu Lancer Evo, MazdaSpeed6, Nissan Maxima SE, Nissan Altima 3.5SE, siyempre, pati na yung Honda Accord V6 coupe, and Toyota Camry/Solara.

I haven't even mentioned the domestics. Malakas talaga ang competition dito....

[Jun aka Pekto]

Kayo naman, oo. Ok lang kung sumigaw. It's a free country, er, internet. At least ok sa akin. Malimit akong sigawan ng nanay ko noon, e.

Masama lang sumigaw kapag nasasakit ang tenga. Dito sa tsikot.com, binabasa lang. Hindi naman masakit sa mata. Kaya ok lang. At least that's my version of common sense.....

[nugundam93]

mejo nakakahilo din kasi seeing a paragraph with the first letter of all words in caps. hehehehe...

[nugundam93]

yun lang nga... :D

[Jun aka Pekto]

Killer talaga yung tax. Baka jeepney na lang ang bibilhin namin....

[Elroi]

i think that's the main purpose of the tax being so high.. to discourage the importation of used vehicles..

dahilan nila, it's slowly killing the local car industry..

Even so, the cost of buying a vehicle in the Philippines is still way too high.

A 3.3L Sonata cost me $20,500 here in the U.S. If I buy the same exact car brand new in the Philippines, it would cost me over $28,000. That's a big honking difference and a huge chunk of change.

And really, what vehicles over there are really homegrown? I would not count Hondas, Toyotas, Kias, Izuzus, Nissans, or any other foreign nameplate because the profits go back to their home countries, not the Philippines.

The only ones I can remember were the jeepneys and Tamaraws from long ago. Is there a pure homegrown Philippine car?

[Elroi]

malayo talaga price difference between US and PHIL... why? becoz we don't build cars.. and this could be one of the factors kaya gusto nila mag-boom ang local car industry natin.. not necessarily sariling brand..

but once the car industry flourishes, everything follows.. investors will come in, set-up their plants, assembly lines, exporting cars, more jobs, more purchasing power for the people...

but if u kill the industry during it's infancy, none of this will materialize...

i am not in anyway connected to the car industry.. but sana man lang bago maging extinct ang gasolina ay magkaroon ng sariling car brand ang pilipinas..

[nugundam93]

pure pinoy car? hmmm...jeeps, yeah. :D

actually, depende rin sa brand. most cars nowadays are at about 700k upwards. :D
