Calibra Lover from Thailand

by Kritsada » Sun Jul 04, 2010 12:32 am

Hi ! i'm Kris from Thailand. I'm interesting to buy standard calibra with C20XE engine and export to Thailand. It has to come as a spare part to save import tax, so we have to tear down the car into two pieces and export to Thailand. It sound crazy but I need to do this badly. Anyone can give me some advise ? I need to direct contact with Used Car Exporter. Anyone have any ideas ? Please advise. kritsada.masacasem@sabic-ip.com or chariyao@gmail.com. Thanks
Kritsada

how much would you save on import tax as im sure the cost to break down send and rebuild it would out weight any saving's + im sure its not going to be as easy as breaking it down and putting it in bubble wrap and sticking a stamp on it
