By all means, thank you for the feedback and I have no hesitation whatsoever to pull the trigger on this car already There is just one caveat right now - I am currently trying to hunt for the import papers. You see, imported cars to the philippines are subject to a 40% import tax, 10% Value added tax, and another X% depending on the classification of car. (silly huh?) Although the car is registered right now, it could have been done so through illegal means (corruption is uncool here). So, without the correct import papers, If i do get into an accident or if someone with malicious intent wants to "test" me, and ask if I have paid proper taxes, there would be no way for me to prove it. I dont think anyone is buying it as well right now because of the import papers thing. I'll keep you guys updated and I still sure hope this is the car for me!
