Does anyone know how much tax you pay when shipping something form america, is it the same as japan?
sadly it is. Ask them to devalue the invoice... else you\'ll be paying 25% tax + 17.5% vat
what ya buying?
ive seen a company on there with full bomex bodykits, there $675, so might be worth paying the tax?
if my calculations are correct that makes the kit £527 including the vat and tax
yeah..
...dam bit too big to bring back for ya ;)
good price.. I would! Be aware though a lot of them do copies, so check it out fully before you buy.. if that doesn\'t bother then then sod it anyway
37.5% of the full asking price in £\'s (£371) would equate to about
£508 + shipping I guess... still a bargain
though then you have the fun or spraying, bonding etc too but thats cash for another day hehe
Andy can lend you the selotape he used to stick his skirts on if you are lucky :)
Dave
yeah still a good bargin, even a 2nd hand kit is around £800.
"wee wee wee rebuild.. waaa I\'m gonna get a ghey car now wee wee wee" ;)

And about the same again by the time u have shipped it all...
i ordered lots of bits from the states. According to HMC&Excise, you pay 4% of the total price of the item including the postage price and then vat on top of that total. If you can get the seller to put a lower value on the parcel you will pay less but the problem with that is you cant get postage insurance for the value of the item.
eg: item price 100
postage 50
total 150
+4%tax 6
total 156
+ vat 17.5% 27.30
TOTAL 183.30.
go to //www.usps.com to get quotes on postage, you will need weights though.
Andy its killing me, they can\'t do it till 19th April ! :(
I sold the Beemer and no have to hire a smart car !! :) lol
Dave
You must do what needs to be done young padawan :D
smart car lol... come to woodbridge in it and race it haha
Think if I ever need a rebuild i\'ll just nick a pool car from work hehe
glad ya getting it sorted... who\'s doing it?
how much that smart car cost to hire? was it a good price... seens 100\'s of them in Milton Keynes hire place :)
well i now have the choice to pay £400 to hire a smart car for a month or borrow a Nova from my dads garage
so i will be borrowing the Nova me thinks !
rebuild work is booked in with one place although i need it done quicker so might have to change
what\'s the rush (others than missing her)?
won\'t have the nova for long, and don\'t want to shell out on a hire car or buy a piece of crap to get round it
at the end of the day its my money and i want it done quick :)
Dave
with ya on that one...well keep me informed of how ya get on.
I think you should sit and watch then set up yer own rebuilding business and give those who have lost bits of thier cars in the past extra big discounts
(I\'m full of good ideas)
its only till you need a big job doing like a rebuild that you realise your lack of choice compared to boinger owners :)
Dave
Yeah I was all set to buy a piece of crap, but when it came down to it I couldnt so I got an S14 200SX. Theres logic in my thinking somewhere.
I had to get the bus 3 times and couldnt stand it anymore so had to get a car to get around in.
