Importing Toyota Passo Kgc30

[pontiac_gto]

Hi All,

One of my friends trying to import Toyota Passo kgc30 (YOM 2011/10, 1000CC) from Japan. When considering the engine capacity the new tax is applicable for this car. The cost for the car is 1.2M and tax is around 2.4M. The Total is 3.6M. Is it worth to import this car to SL. Please post your ideas...

Thanks

Go for Hybrid or look for the cars already imported to the country. You can get same model for 3.2 from local market.

Toyota Passo = 200% tax.

Honda Fit hybrid = 60% tax.

Dear friend,

i think, it is not worth value for this type of small hatchback car....better to try for Hybrid car. B'cos low tax.

Toyoto passo has the 1KR-FE1.0l (996cc)3 cylinder DOHC engine with VVT - Output is 71 hp (53 kW) at 6000 RPM with 94 Nm of torque at 3600 RPM. car weight is around 900kg. passo comes under toyota brand. but engine is Daihatsu.

considering above reasons, i think passo is not valuable for 3.6M.

Thanks.

what is the point?

the taxes I believe are fixed so that the purchase prices of similar vehicles are at a similar level.

CIF of Honda fit hybrid is more than the passo

@pontiac - look at the buy section. there were a few for much lower than that price

what is the point?

The Fit is a much better car than the Passo. If he can get a Fit Hybrid down for close to the 3.6M price he will pay for a Passo, then why not get the better car?

All though it made by Daihatsu ita good car than Boon or KGC10.. Fuel consumption is better than KGC10 and If you can, Go for the Hana package. Also it has some disadvantages like No glove box and have some blid spots both sides of the windscreen, Such as.. Best thing it has much more cabin space than early model. But disagree with the price on this, coz bit much high to a hatchback.
