CBU unit as i understand is a complete built unit and CKD is a complete knocked down that means the car has to be assembled here. the advantage of getting from the dealership is that you get depriciation for it in your books and if you get it yourself you cant claim depriciation for it. |

well indeed these are very big issues,we are all aware of the possible misuse aren't we?but i really wonder is it reasonable for govt to keep 105% duty?maybe it is about time they reduce it..but the reason i support our system is that it forces the manufacturers to manufacture cars locally in india..which is a national gain afterall |

No AMATMO, Chevy or Toyota will not import these cars for you because besides the RHD LHD issue, there is the Homologation issue. Firstly cars below the price tag of US$ 40,000/- need to be homologated in our country, thats why most cars are not allowed. Secondly LHD cars are not importable (so that puts to rest the Corvette etc which are available only in LHD. Yes they can be imported in India if they are converted to RHD (London na dDubai being the current experts in doing this conversion). . Thirdly yes one can import a car by ones self and yes it does cost approximately the same if you import the car yourself or through a dealer but if you do it yourself, theres no warranty. Also the companies have the duties etc worked out and so its easier to deal through them. Would you want your car to be stuck in customs after import for some small glitch? Say the duty amount on the GPS system is ridiculous. So would you want to argue for that. Regarding the Kuwait number-plated cars, maybe they re temporary imports or counsulate imports running temporarily on Kuwait number plates |
