[111prez]

ayus rin ito ah ...

[papi smith]

Di ba hindi na pwede i-rehistro ang mga imported surplus?

Mukhang na rehistro itong converted na ito at may bagong plaka

Pero in fairness, maganda ang loob at ibang features.

Then icoconvert at icu-customize na lang nila depende sa order ng clients nila.

Sa Davao city bagsakan niyan nung na-upo si digZ. Nadaan sa connection kaya pwede daw ma rehistro doon at sa Visayas din.

Laki nga ng tubo dito.

Dati nung bumili kami ng service van na surplus converted suzuki FB Kei van (no aircon pa at model ay yung bago nung tinatawag nilang Transformers like the one here), ang kuha daw sa mga baklas surplus units ay Php20,000 per lang. Sometimes, per container van (20 footer ata) pa ang bili na Php100,000 pero may mga 10 na surplus baklas units ang laman.

Tapos aayusin nila, welding dito, welding doon, palit ng piyesa, upholstery, gawa ng FB at upuan at binebenta ng at least Php200,000.

Yeah by law kasi bawal mag import ng second hand aside from balikbayan diba? So they have to chop up the cars to bring them in as "parts" then re-assemble when they get here to pass it off as a "locally assembled" unit.

I wouldn't risk it. Crash safety > cost savings.

One other thing is the hit or miss quality of the conversion from right hand (Japan) to left hand drive in these backyard shops.

This was a big issue in surplus trucks from Japan auctioned in Subic quite some time back.

I wonder kung anong loop hole nanaman ang nakita nila to import these vehicles.

These vehicles have always been available in Visayas and Mindanao ... though you can never bring them to Luzon ...

hmmm. so I guess yearly registration nya sa VisMin

pansin ko kasi kahit sa Cavite ang daming nagtitinda

[111prez]

We got our previous kei van service vehicle from San Pablo Laguna.

This same shop also supplies the LGUs with their mini suzuki vans. So gobyerno mismo ang gumagamit din nito

Wala bang dealer ng Kei van & truck around NCR or nearby provinces? Exclusive lang sa VisMin?

Not sure if this is "nearby province" enough but RUSI (or RUSCO ba yun) in Binan City Laguna (sa national highway and near Pavilion Mall and Santa Rosa City border) sells these Kei vans.

Baka may mas malapit na RUSI (RUSCO) branch sa NCR that you can search.

VisMin units will have "M" plates ... Cotabato area registration ...

The ones in VisMin are "chopchop" ... they're chopped into smaller parts ... then re-assembled ... the ones in Subic are better since they arrive "whole" and just converted right to left-hand drive ...

If you're going to have a Kei van in Luzon ... get one from Luzon ... otherwise if it's "M" plate ... you're going to get "questioned" at every check point ...

Curiously, the service van we got had its registration papers coming from Quezon City LTO.

We never got to see the plates though as we sold it already. Hindi ko alam kung na claim ng bumili yung plaka. Pero may MV number. CR, OR and all na.

[yubby24]

Yung mga multicab na nakikita ko dito na N ang start ng plate, usually may sticker ng RUSCO sa windshield nila. May mangilan-ngilan rin akong nakikita dito na J or K ang simula. I'm thinking of buying 1 para dun sa agri land na nabili namin sa Mindanao. Panghakot ng mga gamit at ani.

from what i understand,
no loophole is necessaary.
the rules are clear.
one has but to abide by them and pay the proper taxes.

what the end user has to mind, however,
is the quality of the product, as the others above have already mentioned.
