Costing?

[sublime]

Just looking for some info, if anyone can shed some light it would be much appreciative, if you purchase a car from uk valued at $460,000.00 TT with a 5900cc engine, what would it cost to have it on the road? Thx

[X2]

Someone must know the rate per CC... I think it might be around $33TT per CC... so about $194,700 if that is correct... plus other fees and taxes... I'd assume you will pay about the same price as the car, in duties and taxes....

Feel light headed yet ?

There is a post with a calculator...search for it

Vehicle Cost: $460,000
Shipping Cost to Trinidad approx: $10,000
+35% CIF : $164,500
MVT for 5900cc at $50 per cc : $295,000
+15% VAT on all of the above cost: $139,425
Total: $1,068,925.00

Not sure if I forgot anything...

Yup the MVT fee is the killer lol That's why most foreign used car dealers bring in vehicles under the 1998cc bracket or else the landing costs come up to the same value or even more than the vehicle itself

go across and put in a b14 engine then ship it down, ship the original engine separately and then in trinidad after registration reconvert it back to its original state.

Actually, vehicle over 3000cc is 45% duty

^^^damn...didn't know that...in that case add about $50,000 more to that cost lol

[ismithx]

i really don't see what is the beatup about paying so much for a vehicle when we already have heavily subsized fuel... something to think about

[kjaglal76v2]

OP, bring it in as a taxi, you'll pay no MVT

[src1983]

I thought MVT was calculated as


5900 x 50 x 75% = 221,250
