Seriously.. thats what i've received from northport D.O recently.. am i cheated? and for the forwarder, i've been asking many of my friends that using diff forwarder and mostly the price is around 600-700.. how much do u pay for it beastX? or best price u can get?

When ur car manufacturing date? Mine was in sept 1999, the docket price is €25000.. And the exchange rate was 4.8.. U should check the docket price 1st matey..

The shipping duration is around 5 - 6 weeks..

There's no diff if u bring in the s2k from eu, i brought my honda from uk too..

u need full m'sian driving license. Thats is not an option matey..

i wish it's true.. and better if u can have black & white to confirm it, and u should know how the Malaysian government works..

u don't need a driving license to buy a car..

exactly if u ship ur car only without contena.. it will cost u GBP550 per car..
* they will put ur car into contena as well but u have to drive it to manchester port.


20ft contena will cost u 700 quid and GBP1.4k for the 40ft..

the service includes loading ur vehicle(s) at ur place..
