Boater Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Is there anywhere i can buy a BMW C1 Scooter in Thailand? There are a few for sale on ebay in the uk for about 1.5 - 2 K UK sterling... What would the import tax / shipping cost be on one, or does anyone know if you can buy in thailand its actually for this missus, as she cannot drive a car, and this would be practical to keep the deadly sun rays off her and also protect against the rain cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorSucker Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Forget it. Taxes and import fees are in the range of 150% of the value. So 70.000 to 100.000 baht extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard-BKK Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) I'm not exactly sure how much import duty you need to pay, but it's much lower then indicated in previous postings. The BMW C1 scooter is powered by a 125, or 176cc four-stroke engine, or a electric motor therefore a whole other set of import duties and discount rules apply. (Thailand has another tax table for motor-vehicles with an engine size smaller than 250cc) I even believe that BMW Thailand had some imported themselves... edit: the BMW C1 200 is powered by a 176cc not a 200cc as I expected... sorry Edited January 26, 2011 by Richard-BKK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowery99 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) Just buy a click or mio or something like that and have a shop that builds pick up truck cages (or what ever they are called) build it a roof like that one. The windshield could be fab'd too. There are also some 50cc hondas around sometimes with that roof, on them one of the models is even 3 wheels, Edited January 28, 2011 by Bowery99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
