Ordering from the US ?

[ZEX]

Hi

my friend is ordering a Charger SRT-8 from the US , but the problem is that the "dealer" who he's paying for says that now they increased the amount of the money when it's Air-Shipped (not through the sea)

he says that this problem just occured , after the financial changes in the US and the dollar , so it will cost 3,800 BD JUST for air-shipping !! (he said 1500BD before two week but now he says everything changed !!)

maxmoood did you ship your car ? or by a plane ? and how much it costs ?

[BLOODLINE]

3800bd for shipping? laish how cheap did he find it :blink:? is it worth it

[maXmood]

i shipped my car through the sea. as i remember, it was something around $2100, BD.790 or so.. left US on 16th september, reached bahrain 27th october. that's if he's willing to wait that long. if he's doing it through s3ood albkr, i suggest that he stop doing what he's doing.

ship it though the sea. much cheaper. roll on roll off. cost me around 1000 dollars including insurance.

[tyrant]

Bro that air shipping price is a rip off. not even porches cost that much to air ship....
send it thru sea freight.. roll on / roll off is cheaper but i think continers are safer IMO...

Also bro if hes going ahead with it.. he will have to change the radiator to the GCC spec radiator.. we just found out that Chrysler made 3-4 radiators for the LX's and for the middle east they have the biggest and most effective radiator.. which also has different fittings cost to replace all parts IIRC is 300-350BD

tyrant I think charger R&T and R/T got the same tempreture just drop 160 thermo and ur fine I know the gauge indicate at half but when u see the digital screen it says 100 degree so its fine

zex go to kanoo shipping, and let them give u quotes of air and sea shipping.

[ZOSicK]

ship it through see it only cost me 300BD all the way from texas to bahrain but it took 2 to nearly months :pat:

by the way the SRT 8 can be ordered from our dealer too not sure about the price but i think around 15500BD

[twin-turbo]

wow the air shipping is cheap normally airfirenght for cars is around $15,000 why dont you go with sea and then spend the money you save on modding the car??

[tyrant]

Btw zex, bro did your friend try to contact Mash motors in Saudi?... they will bring the SRT-8 for you for 19,000BD last i asked (this is to your door). i'll try to find the contact info for you.

Hanooi, bro who told you its 15,500BD for the SRT-8? thats what they would take for a custom ordered R/T with Road and track which they no longer order btw... SRt-8 price points are 18k+

baaaaaaal i thought it's all the same :hmmm:

they said the SuperBee owner here didn't change anything ,and it's working fine , he'll use it , if he gets any problem then he'll change it

maybe it's bigger here , but still how big ? :D i think there are some HOTTER states in the US than here

Thanks bro , i'll give him the numbers and try to contact them , but he already bought the car there :S the only thing left is shipping

BTW he got it for 19,500 , i don't know about the shipping cost if included or not

i tought there are some members here ordered a car through air

[tyrant]

your right about the super bee bro.. he didnt change anything but a few weeks ago some members on LX forums were looking for a cooling solution for their auto cross and track days and they found that their are many radiators and the biggest most effective one was for our reigon!

you dont have to change it out.. best and cheapest option is to install the 180 thermostat.
anyways do good luck to your friend and inshallah he gets what hes after :).

ur buying anything south will be the same like florida, texas , and california

[Shihaby]

closed container is the way to go my friend... i know a guy who had his Lexus shipped from the US to Bahrain in an open container and it actually got the stereo stolen ON THE SHIP!!!

[THE REAPER]

bro i have worked in the cargo and now the port.........from my experience sea is safer and cheaper.....

by air the car will be strapped to a big pallet and then the car comes out on that big pallette ,after that u really dont want to see how they bring the car down from that pallette!!!!!!!!!!

take a container bro and it will ship within 3-4 weeks max.
kanoo- maersk line the containers are better handled than those in the cargo

BTW the only cars shipped by air are F1 and cars that probably cost more than bd200000 and proffessionals to handle the car from A-Z

Thank you for all the information , but at first he said air-shipping will cost 2,000 BD so he said okay that's better but now they added 1,800 to it (total 3,800 BD)

thanks , i'll inform him and inshalla ship it be the sea
