Anyone know anything about importing/exporting the M???

Cab5er · 03-25-2012, 10:48 PM

Hey guys,
Long time. Been over here on the island for just about a year now. I miss my car! Thinking about shippping it back here to China. Was just wondering if anyone has done anything like this and anything I should be aware before I attempt to do this. Also what about mods? I have a gruppe M intake, AA x pipe with HFC, Dinan exhaust. Will I have to take these off and ship it back seperately? Thanks in advanced.

If I do do this I will come back to the states to unmod the car and the intake will be available for swap for cash + stock intake. As I do not have the stock intake.

it's possible but you will be paying ALOT on the import tax.

Yes sir. Looks like it. At least for the next few years that's why I want my car. Acura TLs make me sad when I drive it.

It's looking like around 20k but still way better than the ~200k for it here.

I'm especially interested in knowing if these mods will pass inspection or do I have to come back and unmodd it

It is possible, but it really depends on several factors. Are you a U.S Citizen in China for work? If so, you can import a car to China without paying the 120-150% tax
