**pnay_fickle_minded** · April 24th, 2007 02:55 PM

hi peeps.. here i am again wid questions that need to be answered by d experts.

No problem about the shipping since meron nakong contacts

pero di pa ko nakipag-deal. Gusto ko sana iimport sa Pinas yung 2nd hand SUV namin for personal use naman, american car sya kaya no need for conversions. Kaso meron bang requirements na dapat asikasuhin sa pinas? And magbabayad pa ba ako ng tax? i mean di pa ba kasama yun sa shipping? may mga so called lagay-lagay pa ba? Lam nyo naman sa pinas, ang hirap mag-import, parang bumili ka na daw ng brand new car? totoo ba ito? Thanks

di kaya with the money you will be spending...you get a brand new, locally -made, similarly-sized, equally-environment-friendly vehicle? di lang yan.....nakatulong ka pa sa local auto industry at wala kang pinayaman na buwaya.

I'm not sure... but I think the tax is 200%...

I hear one story about importing. the tax was so huge that the owner decided to have the vehicle burned in the pier...

I recommend brand new na lang...

Magkano ba budget mo? At anong klaseng kotse talaga ang gusto mo?

hindi po ako bibili.. i-uuwi ko lang po sana ang suv ko for personal, not for business. Isang unit lang po sha. But then i decided not to ship it anymore baka hindi ko pa magamit, better yet ibenta na lang dito. Nakausap ko na yung contact namin, ichopchop nga daw nila para mas maliit ang tax, ayoko naman ng ganun kasi kawawa naman. 7lapad lang babayaran ko (70,000 yen) sa shipping, kaso u know naman sa pinas, baka harangin pa dun ng mga buwaya.

Thanks p sa replies.
