shane: some friends of my dad imports cars and ship it to subic or manila. however starting this january 2005, if you would import a second-hand car/automobile from japan, you have to pay another five hundred thousand pesos for the additional taxes.

maybe you can find me a twin turbo engine from a mitsubishi galant? my friend wants to drop one in his car. he has already done a 4g63t in his lancer and is on to bigger and better things.

does anyone know about importing cars? how much will it cost.
I read an article recently that they took away the ban on importing second hand cars...

kung wala ka contact sa customs or magaling na forwarding agent, forget it. you need to pay for freight charges which is computed either by weight or the size of the container van (20 foot or 40 foot). tax is based on the blue book value of the car. and even if you pay the right tax you will need to bribe for every signature on the customs forms because they will simply refuse to sign your papers without a bribe. and after the car is released to you by customs then you will need to go the same thing again with LTO before they register your car.

bili ka na lang ng subic, or ask those subic auctioneers to bring in the car you want. make your life simple and problem free. gets?

i want the rx8... people in subic do the importing for you?

**yebo** · February 27th, 2005 04:27 PM

yes. may kilala misis ko kaya lang long time no see na sila, 1st cousin nya. if you pm me your email adress maybe i can find out for you his contact info. no promises kasi nga 3 years na wala sila contact eh. or you can just try calling those auctioneers at subic and valenzuela. i'm sure they will welcome your business. wala sila risk na hindi mabili ang car kasi ikaw na mismo nag-order eh.
