Here's a way to make a profit like DGL...
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.

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...
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.

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.
