Default Export the Vette, or Vettes?

My uncle just came in from the Phillipines and was blown away from my Vette. I had to take a special trip to my parents' house today just so he could take pictures of it before he left. He is in the car biz there and said Vettes are very rare. He said he could get about $30-35k U.S. for mine. :eek: Tom Cruise from the "Rain Man" here I come, maybe. :jester If I export a couple a year I wonder what I could do to mine. :D

...or you could go broke. Check the import taxes / duties. GI's made some good money selling US cars in Europe back in the 60's. Then the local national laws were changed.

Made a call to my dad and found out the true low down. Phillipines is corrupt as a mo tho. I could get 30-35 cash U.S. per vette, shipping no problem, I have connections, but I would have to grease the hell out of all the PI officials. Bottom line sell a Vette there for $35,000 and make $2,000. Not worth the headache. :smash: Oh well, another million dollar idea down the drain. :mad

$2,000 not worth the headache? $2,000 is quite a bit. I'd do it, had I the money.

Not bad if that was guaranteed, but the corruption will determine that. Unfortunatetly there is no guarantee on corruption, could be more ar could be way less. Oh well, I guess I am still going to look into it.
