Wanna buy a BRZ in the states shipped to China - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Godzpeed · 06-21-2012, 01:44 PM

Any reputable Subaru dealers on the west coast I can deal with?

I'm looking for a BRZ Limited, but I will be shipping this car to Hong Kong first then get it imported into China Mainland. Since I've been looking for a new daily driver for use in locally when I'm in China. After tax I think I'm looking at around $300k RMB. Choices in this range are either the Chinese built Golf GTi or Passat CC or a Toyota Mark X 2.5

Why am I doing this? Subaru China still haven't announce the price and won't expect deliveries until March 2013. Toyota China don't seem to plan to import the 86 any time soon either. Plus, I already have a 86 in HK.

Also another question is how are the wait times for the BRZ at the moment?

If you have an 86 in Hong Kong, wouldn't it be easier to export one of those to China?

Hong Kong sells RHD cars, so there is no way I could order a LHD car here, and the states have the lowest MSRP anywhere.

Probably oregon state would be the ideal place to order as I believe they don't have sales tax.

Wait times go well into next year for a BRZ in the states at this point. There was a waiting list 17 long at the dealer I got mine from, and they're only slotted to get 11 cars by November.

Kind of funny considering it's a car built in Asia having to ship it half way across the world to get the lowest price and then ship it half way back again.

It's like what they used to do with Chicken.

Raised in the states.
Sent to China to be butchered.
Butchered in China and sent back to the states...
