I agree with this move, It curbs forex, reduces fuel subsidy by having more modern fuel efficient cars and it boosts the local used market.

I bought a Mazda 3 5 years ago, regularly serviced and no major accident. Now that I want to sell it, some 95 year old Japanese woman who had the same Mazda 3 and just drove it once a year because they was an earthquake and she feared for a tsunami, has her car imported here and it selling just $10,000 more than mine. Esp. when I have 130,000km on the odometer and she has 8,000km.

With the amount of cars in this country, if RORO is for the poor man, then let them buy a locally used cars because unlike Japan, we have no other RHD nation to palm it off on.

Soooo you want to overcharge for your beatout Mazda 3 then? That is your reason for supporting this move?

[coolfiger]

So he want the poor man to get a beat out car when he could get something better for around the same cost. The lower milage vehicle would def be in better condition , be better for our environment , safer to drive, more reliable , use less fuel , last much longer ...... Tsk tsk. Some people like to dig out eye

[streetbeastINC.]

Lol and mileage on that is at scatter p^oint

[konartis]

How the same car with spark plugs, air filter, tyres and oil change of the same duration use less fuel?

I am selling my car at the market value, however have to compete with cars from one of the most advanced countries in the world with modern public transport, pristine roads, temperate climate and a tax burden that makes used cars cheap. It is the typical story of foreign goods undercutting the local market.

So we are in a recession wouldn't this mean a contraction in the roro sales due to the economic situation facing the country...yet the argument for this is the current traffic congestion and foreign currency shortage..if this measure was implemented while the economy was in a boom it would be understandable. Basically this is going to have a huge effect on the poor man trying to improve his/her standard of living by decreasing their purchasing power...well done government....

[Morpheus]

^^Less Tiidas....and even Axios

That's a plus

[shake d livin wake d dead]

look how 3rd gen, s15, r32,r33 prices going up

How much forex roro dealers spending compared to new. Traffic yes but the foxex excuse is a flimsy one. High mileage and in some cases poorly maintained local used will not fetch my money

Doesn't matter how much they're using, it's a leakage of foreign exchange that can be reduced. Dealers plus personal imports account for a lot of US demand anyway

Men like new plates .... It's a psychological ting and they can't see it or admit it. New plate =new car for them.
