So, this is an XKR-S in South Africa. Their currency is the "RAND", symbol "R" or "ZAR". The RAND is .94 of a US dollar...

So you could ship your car there an sell it. Take a look at the price of this XKR-S on Auto Trader South Africa...

EDIT(4/24/2014): Just so new readers are aware, I messed up the currency conversion in the info above (which you can see how I becameaware of my mistake in the next post of the thread).

So the big gulf in price difference isn't really that big.

 

The Rand is worth about .094 US dollars, not .94, so your profit margin will have to be adjusted, but cars are still expensive there.

 

OOps...I messed the decimal point up!!

 

lol. Good thing you didn't buy a shitload of vehicles to send over.

 

LOL I was thinking the same thing

 

.... and surely not an S ....

 

I just sent money to Nigeria too... I have exported a few cars to Switzerland and when the dollar is down a little more, money can be made. A hassle to make the car Swiss legal, but we have place to do it. Some cars are less expensive to make Swiss then others and it's always by origin of manufacture either.

 

That car would be cheap in Australia. To pay less than $110K AUD for a 2010 XKR would be doing well. And our dollar has been at parity for a while, though it is a bit less now - maybe 0.92 USD. But alas, your steering wheels are on the wrong side...

 

Same problem with South Africa as well - most of southern Africa drives on the left.

 

Any Country near Hawaii I can sell my car to? Asia maybe? I could use a profit!

 

I've seen plenty of LHD cars in Japan and Korea (mainly Benzes, a huge Rolls in Incheon, and a lovely Bentley GT at Nara, including a few XFs in both Japan and Seoul but never an XK), even though they usually have RHD. I'm not sure what the prices are like in those places, though.

 

China, mate - that's where the money is...

 

Watch for my book. "Financial Freedom: The Life Style"


Wealth is created through the redistribution and management of financial assets.

 

According to the Liberals, wealth is created by the distribution and management of other people's financial assets.

 

Who is John Galt?

( couldn't resist...)

 

I've read "Atlas Shrugged" four times and will probably read it again one day. One of the most astounding pieces of literature written in our times.

 

Entertaining book - provided you realise it's fiction & not a life manual.

 

List price for new XKR-S in my country: USD340K. One guy imported used Lambo Aventador and paid USD377K as car tax

 

Good God! Where do you live, Crimea?

 

I have heard that in Cuba the cars are ten times more expensive than here...

PS. I live in the European Union.
