Anyways i like to see how long it will be parked there @ BRJW!!!

yup its true, but what can u say? its their vehicle & their price..

Mr Money Maker,

I m not sure you have instilled the right name for yourself and since you seem to feel you have the capability of calculating car prices by looking at the internet let me give you a lesson on the duty and price of this particular car

Valuation given by the customs - 23 000 Pounds

Price of a sterling pound on the day of duty calculation- 205 SLR

Age of vehicle for duty calculation - 1 year

Depriciation scale- 80%

Duty Percentage for 1600 cc vehicles = 200%

Duty for this vehicle on the day of clearing = 23 000 X 205 X 0.8 X 2 = Rs 7,544 000

And the dealer price of this car would be between 19 000 -22 000 pounds depending on the mileage, condition and year of manufacture

If you take an approx figure of 20 000 pounds then the SLR Price would be approx = 20 000 X 205 = Rs 4,100 000

Which would give you a landed price = Rs 7,544 000 + RS 4 100 000 = Rs 11 644 000

This price is also without shipping and insurance which is another Rs 150 000 approx

These price have been calculated at a pound rate of 205 and the current rate today is 208 for a sterling pound

You obviously do not seem to know the difference between the standard DS3 and the DS3 racing.

Mr money maker i would not waste my time explaining to people like you, but on a public forum if you come and try to teach BRJW on your knowledge of the local car imports with prices without any proof then someone like you should be dealt with.

And my advice is you better not take to car imports any time soon cause with the prices you offer you can name yourself Mr Charity.

And for your information the car has been sold.

Man it's pretty disheartening that a hot hatch priced to target young execs barely out of uni costs 12 mil in SL! The current duty structure and exchange rate which I believe is going to be with us for a while will ensure that cars like these remain exotics for a long time. Its a good thing importers like BRJW are gutsy enough to take the risk and bring them down - gives more people a chance to own them later down the line at least.

Usually this sort of announcement is met with a lot of kudos for brjw. This Citroen somehow barked up the wrong tree.

I don't think daryn is cheating out here. He has his overheads as well, it's not a charity after all. But the duty structure really is that insane. I'm getting taxed 80% for performance suspension and brakes. Nawila passen passata thamai customs office ekata yanna oney... Ethakota leysiy!!

Doesn't work. These are sent as gifts. Customs goes online and checks the right price. And then bills you. They're a smart bunch. Happened with the first Aston that was shipped in. Bloke undervalued it, customs contacted Aston Martin uk and got a valuation for the car

I bought my BOV & they checked & asked what it is. i told its a new horn for a maruti which gives like a wizzle blower sound.. so they charged me only 750/= tax...

comparing that to a situ where a high performance car is involved is like chalk an cheese mate.

the car customs fellows are much more informed these days.... Gone are the days you can BS your way out unless of course you're "connected" to royalty!

[Komisiripala]

Well am waiting for them to tell me how much I have to fork out. Tense moments... *-biting nails-*

may be because it's special, gives a uniqueness , head turning when your on road since it's new to everybody in SL , funky french design details , curves , So and so...

Somebody may find that it's worth 12 million.

You want a funky Citroen, bring down a D21 or a CX, or better yet a SM. But DS3... no.

If you dont mind me asking, is there a reason you're trying to push this car so much?

If its so worth it and so few are around, why dont you buy it?
