Thats the tough part, he's trying to import this as a company vehicle (for his chauffeur to drive him and his clients around). He is technically an expat (lived there 5 yrs) but i believe the Gov't sees Taiwanese expats a bit differently than if you go in with a US Passport. Hmm. He had a chinese made Buick but the thing burned down on the highway and the manufacturer admits no fault at all.

I guess I'll have to relay the message over to let him know.

On the other side of things, we researched and found a profit margin of $100-150k RMB if a used german vehicle can be brought in, registered and resold. But theres a regulation stating that if the car is imported personally, it cannot be resold for 12 months

Your customs broker, do they charge reasonable pricing? I realized, that most if not all brokers who charge OUTRAGEOUS service charges are basically using a part of that as a kickback for the customs... This is not just for cars, but pretty much for everything you want to import into China.

Damn straight it is, espcially during morning and evening.

Its a great car to drive in, so smooth and comfortable...........though the e90/92 is even better to drive.
China's got the best freeways in the world... (except you see wrong way drivers every day and people who just stop in the middle of the freeway to sightsee) So let me ask, how much in traffic camera fines have you racked up in the last month, and are you still on your first driver's license
