Can you PM me how much a Turbo (or any 991) sells for in Manila? I do know that US prices are way lower.

Thanks.
Taxes are expensive! Exotic cars usually end up costing 2x more than the prices there in USA bec of tax. I will PM you

Hahahaha it's per job and they are not porsche certified techs. They don't need to cuz it's just a bolt on aftermarket part. Usually charge per job not per hour

+1.....i am a freight broker by profession and this is accurate...tendency is for the car's cost to double because of the taxes imposed by the Phil. govt which equals to whatever the current value of the vehicle market-wise here in the US....

AdValorem, Excise, VAT, plus the usual grease money..it adds up

I also understand that politicians could import cars without the Phil tax (ala diplomatic immunity/benefits). I should run for the mayor, governor or the president just to be able to import my cars and crotch rockets.

hey cab,

LGU's don't get tax exemptions anymore....but "ex-pats" get "suspended taxes" for the duration of their assignment, provided they re-export their vehicles when they leave the country...or they can sell their vehicles after paying for taxes.....

or just work for the DBP over there...i think they still get tax exemptions for company use vehicles
