Funniest thing I've seen in a while

I got a guy to import my entire tiida suspension setup and it cost me $14,000.00 less than the dealer. Everything original except shocks which were KYB

[Redman]

I've brought in a new radiator for a 5 series bmw..(not mine) all in ...80% below the firm and about 40% below foreign used.
Off of friggin Amazon.

So these fellas need some competition...

[Crackpot]

Businessmen in this country are the sole reason why everything goes up and nothing goes down.

Greedy people out here .....

when dey was buying cars for USD100 & sellin' here for $20,000 , they were not subject to 'moral codes' then ???

[Slartibartfast]

All Japanese exporters should ignore this. This will either call the bluff of TTADA or cause cause TTADA dealers to stop buying used cars (hahahaha... yeah right). Either way, it opens up more opportunity for individuals to have better cars available to them.

Seriously... Lol @ moral codes. $20,000 - $30,000 markup and only a 3000km, 3 month warranty. It should be raised to at least a 10,000km, 6 month warranty cuz you could make any piece of crap car run good until it's next service.

[Lance]

Not mention the whole other issue of rollback mileage.

LoL At morals

[Slartibartfast]

^^^ Very true!^^^

They should ask for a list of all the TTADA dealers and then turn around and say they are not selling to them until they get a letter from the TTADA stating that that dealer is not a part of TTADA anymore and that they buyer of the car must be given the contact information of the exporter so that the history of the car can be verified.

Meem care who bringing in what! Just limit the age of the vehicle to 4 or even 3 yrs old. Too much damn car on the rd!

Reason being there isn't reliable public transport. In Trinidad you must have a car

[Slartibartfast]

Yup. I for one would love to avoid the wear and tear on my vehicle on a daily basis as well as having to worry about it getting towed or damaged when I go out liming. When you go London they have buses running 24/7 and subway trains every 5 mins. Just an oyster card and you good.

Limiting the age of car import to 3 or 4 years will just mean more people can't afford decent cars and they would fight harder to keep old b13's on the road. Poor people have to get around to you know and most people buy what they can afford.

Dont we also bring in cars from singapore??

London is designed for you not to use your car. You have to pay to park anywhere, you even have to pay to park in front your own home. Very expensive to run a car in London, you also have pay to drive in central London during the day.

Yup. But the only reason they can impose those restrictions without mass protest is because the public transport is so reliable.

I think it is plain madness for each person to use a separate vehicle (that can hold 5 people and luggage) to go to the same place and back every single day. But consider that that "madness" coupled with the inconvenience of traffic and wear and tear on your personal vehicle is still a more attractive alternative that using public transport. Think of how bad must out public transport system be.

Personally I don't mind them putting all of those restrictions there if there is a good public transport system (and they could waive the fees for the elderly and disabled or something)

[_Kingfish_]

imho save the cash by importing the vehicle yourself, and then be able to service it for a few years comfortable.

The Japanese dealers I've done business with actually tell you the real mileage on the vehicles, so you should know what you're getting your self into......locally tho its cat in bag, selling beat up old cars and rolling back mileage.

Quick google search on the chassis# will sometimes show up the japanese inspection showing vehicle grade, mileage etc.
