Toyota Supra 2001+ Toyota Rav4

[Thugscub]

Went down to Durbs for 5 days and went shopping. Could have got a 2005 Rav 4 2 door (82000km) and a Toyota Supra Twin Turbo 2001 (89000km) for R70 000.00 THAT is for both.I have to register them in Bots.

Nice, was in zambia for the past two weeks and lent my Aunts Rav 4, awesome car for the type of roads you have to go through.

By the way how much is import tax on a vehicle in bots these days ?

Something fishy up here....

Nope, the only thing fishy is the local car industry.

Explain.

And point me in the direction of a 2005 Rav 4 2 door (82000km) alone for R70,000.

In one piece? 2005 or newer?

He said for both he would have piad R70 000. These are 2nd hand japanese imports, since the rand is doing quite well at the moment you can easily get a nice car for about $3000-$5000.

Got my car 2 years ago from a japanese auction(my dad went to visit the country) costed $2200 inlcuding shipping. Also had to register in bots.

 

[LancelotSA]

I am fully aware of that hence me making the offer to just find the one for R70,000 to prove my point.

So it is not all above board as suspected.

Yep - saw a 2007 Lexus IS 250 with like 50,000km on the clock going for 63k too

might have been a scam though - none of us discussing it in the thread actually called the guy

Bots import taxes work out to about 20% of the total value of the vehicle then registration is about R250 and away you go.

 

[LancelotSA]

And stick my loved ones in these vehicles.... no thanks....

[Thugscub]

Or a Nissan 350Z 2008 model for $18 000.00 about R140 000.00 Argggh I want one.

 

[Thugscub]

If one keeps them registered for more than 2 years in Bots you can bring them into SA tax free! but holy smoke it is a lot of paperwork. Did my MR2 Turbo like that.

They are hardly dodgy... its just that the laws in those contries force you to sell cards of that age. Nothing wrong with a car with 80 k on the clock.

Above board ? Its not stolen and its not illigal.

Well it is illegal for me. I reside in SA.

Grobbelaar said it was illegal for South Africans to possess imported second-hand vehicles.

 

[JK8]

Well it is illegal for me. I reside in SA.

What about classic American cars?

 

[Smooth Criminal]

If they make it illegal for you to take a crap then you'd gladly oblige wouldn't you?

This is part of the reason for the excessive pricing in SA - manufacturers here enjoy a protected industry.

 

[Fazda]

You can no longer import classic Americans, as the local idiots will not register a LHD car any more...

wonder when they can get the FT-86
