When I considered bringing my car to the Philippines the companies I contacted actually discouraged me from doing it as the taxes and fees not to mention bribes would equate to more than the value of the vehicle. It would be cheaper if you found the same model car in the Philippines and just fixed that up the same way your current car is now. Lots of people in this forum have asked about bringing cars to the Philipines but only a few have found it to be economically wise to do so.

November 8th, 2007 11:00 AM #14By law importing of used cars is now illegal unless you have the right connections. The sop asked by customs is even higher that the taxes and duties you have to pay so why bother. Cebu is a big no go. I brought in 1 of the few BMW 3 in 1979 under balikbayan papers after what I've been thru I just buy from my gray market friends.
Your money your choice.

hindi ko na alam sistema ngayon, but back in '91 my dad brought in his '86 model 190e (I4/5MT) from the US too, and iirc, the cost tripled (say $20K for the car, and $40k to cover taxes, shipping and sop).
i dont know. he loved that car too much to leave it in the US i guess. but its all right coz its my car now

When I first saw your thread I hesitated to reply. Why?
1. Malalaspag kotse mo, to think 2.3-16 pa naman yan. I did not want to discourage you initially...
2. You'll end up paying so much more above the value of the car. Even if you buy it really cheap like you said, and consequently pay double for taxes, napunta saan yung taxes? Just so you can enjoy it sa Manila? Just get one sa Manila, visit the MBCP I'm sure some members know people who are selling. www.mbcp.tk is the shortcut link to the forum of the MB Club of the Philippines.
3. With the amount of money you'll be spending - say $2000 for the car, then what, another $4000 for the taxes alone. For that same amount of money you can get a similarly priced car in Manila. Check the Classifieds of MBCP http://com5.runboard.com/bmercedesbe...lippinesinc.f3
Finally, it's up to you if the car is truly worth spending all that money for. I mean if the cost is just change to you, go ahead. We're just after being cost effective here and warn you against what you could lose in the long run - just so you can enjoy your car in Manila.
Good luck and I hope your decision is well thought of.Last edited by mbeige; November 8th, 2007 at 06:31 PM.

November 8th, 2007 09:46 PM #20Isn't it so irritating that while importers have less duties due to free trade agreements, ordinary people can't do squat?
