Gunbound888 Neutral Newbie December 31, 2012 Share December 31, 2012 Hi, lol ... I thought someone will make the comment that it looks like a hearse car... but seriously quite a practical vehicle, able to fit another 2 more seats at the rear making it a 7 seater.. though the additional 2 seats are facing the rear.

Gunbound888 Neutral Newbie December 31, 2012 Share December 31, 2012 HI, Thanks. Yes, if self import, alot of paper work.. but i think in this case, all the paperwork and inspection already done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangadrool Supersonic December 31, 2012 Share December 31, 2012 (edited) On self-importation: It 's not easy, but not tough either. There will be some running about. But, make sure your self-imported car meets all our regulatory requirements. With such high COE, it does not make sense to most people since most need loans to cover the big ticket items like COE, taxes which is "impossible" to loan such "items" (COE, taxes and duties) specifically from banks. Good choice if COE is low and you fancy some make/models not available through ADs here in the usual specs/transmission type. Well,.... most people here even find DIY selling their cars difficult. So,..... Edited December 31, 2012 by Kangadrool Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any taller will hit the roof. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
