Any way to get GT86/BRZ in China? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

DarthNads · 07-30-2013, 11:14 AM

Hey Guys,

Moving to China soon (Shenzhen) for a University job and I'm wondering if there's any way to import a car from overseas in China.

I'm pretty sure they don't sell them directly in China and the only way to get cars that aren't already sold in China is to import them.

One's for me and the other is for a friend, haha.

Thanks for any info.

-DN.

Ferrari is making China edition for their car, I am sure other manufacturers will do whatever they can to satisfy such a huge market.

Anyway, I don't speak chinese but looking at their country Toyota website seems they are selling 86 over there.

Thanks dude, I took a look and was very surprised that they are selling the 86 in China for both Subie and Toyota.

I lived there years ago, and they used to have very strict policy on no sports cars unless luxury (which made Ferrari and Lambo's almost triple the price). There were nothing but sedans when I was there...

Now it seems to be a much more open market, I'm thinking a lot more about accepting my job offer over there now. lol

Japan, is always a short boat trip away.

It's where I'll probably end up to buy my REAL aftermarket mods, if Hong Kong prices are too high.

I lived in Japan for 7 years and its a car lovers paradise. I was actually at the unveiling of the gt86 back in 2011.

i'm pretty sure they sell 86 in china.
If you go to dealer, will you ask them if you can buy aftermarket knee pads & speaker pad ?

I'd even see if I could get the headlights, fog lights and enclosures for everyone on this site.
