Hey Nine8Six, I have a business proposition based on the prices for Porsches you mentioned. Let's import clean Porsches from the US into Shanghai. I guessing there are some big hurdles that I'm not aware.

It is not allowed to import any (second-hand) vehicles into China since 2008. You had a great idea but a few years too late mate :/

You are still allowed to import NEW vehicle however the import tax is about the same as of the price of the vehicle itself.

Just to put things into proportion.... the 'base' 2013 997 is USD227,000 at the dealer here mate. Just visited a month ago.

It's a class on its own here brotha

What you should do is come with me down to Dongguan (Guangdong province) where they manufacture all the bodykits. You can get GT2/3 and all the other FB aftermarket you see on eBay for about 100~200 bux straight out of the mold They are all made in China although many claims they are a made in USA (which is BS!).

So there's a business for ya mate. I believe some pays thousand of dosh for those things

Figured the importing of cars was a dead idea. Too much $$$ in it for others to have not already had that idea. I went looking for a bodykit after I saw the price you paid and off I did not see anything close. I love the look of your especially since it has the right color. Got to sell a lot bodykits to make any real money.
