Apparently the import tax on the car was $30k + $2000 for shipping. Well they took the entire car apart and shiped the chasis as scrap and everything else seperately, which cost $13,000 to ship. So basically all this work saved them $17k.

Nothing that car thieves don't do everyday in Miami. Imagine if they went through all that trouble and they told them no, we wont allow it. Pay the same cost, we don't care.

 

what a lot of trouble to go through... save a pretty penny though

 

and it was never the same again...

 

and what is this doing in the anyhow?

 

obligatory

 

and more for good measure

 

That is just crazy !!!!!!

but a damn good effort

Can't believe that they only took 22 hours to put it back together though

 

I hope they didn't have too many nuts and bolts lying around when they were done.

 

And I'm curious if he would have problems registering the car.
