[HaRdCoRe_YoUtH]

I brought one.

Direct from Miami.

Normal taxes you pay.
Import duties
Vat....etc
You will need the VN number along with all the other documents. For the atv.

I had to pay a motor vehicle tax on mine. Idk y because license office stopped licensing atv a while now.

Went today to get some prices...

Things expensive as a used car...



This 90cc toy was 24k



They said they only bringing 2017 models and only 700cc engines.

[hong kong phooey]

those prices not bad
if you go on the manufacture website you can compare price, and then add shipping +vat +custom duties +headache

[supercharged turbo]

For that price,you could buy an offroad Jimny and still save thousands

How does the cost actually breakdown though?

New units are priced at US11k and less depending on the specs and model.

Curious to know as i wont mind importing a used 1....
A new unit definitely not on the budget

I forgot to mention.

The new units at Greens come with 1 year warranty and 2 free services and the option to continue servicing at their facility.

There is a used car dealer on the highway before Monroe road heading south. He sells them new

So what are the limitations of use for these....esp on side country roads...? Saw some on 12th for 10 gran..4x2...

Firstly, them thing for small money is crap. They made in china and parts hard to get.
The only chinese one with available parts is the kazuma and those are around 50k.

Usage is for private use only. Not for use on the government road.
There are a few pre-2008 "P" registered units which can be used on the road. But most can only be registered as "X" providing all the taxes etc were paid when it was imported.
X-plates comes with restictions for use.

Tbh...not sure exactly.
I was told i that "x" plates require police escort to be used on the road.
But what the law states...i cant say.

But from what i have seen "x" usually is for motor roller/forklifts and other construction equipment.

Maybe someone who has better info can chip in.

[cueball1990]

X plates are used for vehicles that don't fall in to the other categories so it can range from heavy tractors, cranes and even ATV's because they dont classify as a usual vehicle. Would make sense if they were classified along with motor bikes but i guess the laws are pretty old so they wouldnt be included

Those that are registered as "P" are class 1. Same as motorbike.

[TrinbagoMan]

Is it illegal to bring an ATV down in parts and reassemble for offroad use?

[*KRONIK*]

No
Just dont try to get it registered

[TrinbagoMan]

Thanks. I am thinking what it is the best way to bring down one.

If i order one through amazon to my ocean shipping company, will there be any special things i will have to do to clear it when it reaches.

[*KRONIK*]

Not sure,
I never did it personally, but if you ordering a starting/driving one, then you will have to pay mvrt etc when it arrives.
I guess same procedure as importing a motorbike
