| Post subject: Import my own car from my country? |
Hi,
My friend is from germany and is going to stay more than 5 years in shanghai. We would like to import in shanghai his car (it's a Smart), is it possible to do that?
Transportation costs 500 euros to shanghai, but then what about possibilities?
I bought my car here in Shanghai, and i feel most of the car in shanghai are boring...it's why it would be interesting to have this Smart.
Thanks! |
