LOL, Been there...done that! Welcome aboard Ahmad. The thanks goes to V12 for introducing our boards to each other by his topic on Supercars in Bangladesh. You guys have some serious machinery out there.

Can you share with us what the duty structure and regulations are for importing high end machinery in your country?

Welcome to Team-BHP

that c240 and ur s40 look reealy hot! keep it up guys, hope to meet u some day when i come to dhaka

rezwan · 30th August 2004, 13:42

hey aadix

your welcome in dhaka anytime... ive updated the post with the indian rupees prices.. 1 INR = 1.28257 BDT

car import rules are not that strict.. anyone can import a car which is less than 4 years old.. the cars have to come from the country in which it was built.. this was done as a lot of Japanese cars were being brought in from Dubai..

Other than these rules you can bring in pretty much any car that you like as long as you can afford the taxes..

aadix · 31st August 2004, 17:21

thx bud!

wish india too had the same kinda rules,anywayz how much is that landrover gonna cost ya?

rezwan · 31st August 2004, 17:27

im looking to buy a 98/99 landrover defender (from the British High Commision.. theyre selling about 25 next month)... its gonna cost me about 5lakhs.. im looking to spend another lakh on a repaint and retrim of the interior.. may be a bit more and get some nice rims as well.. lets see what deal i can manage...
