But my boss dont think like that. he is scotish and thinks all HK 2nd hand car dealer are rip off.
I remember I had to deal with a local guy for his SL600 which he got for 150k and the guy was asking 180k
but my boss phone the local guy up and he only got 10 off
I think it is because he is a ghost low, that why he getting ripped off
I would say that apply to most 2nd hand car shops around the world. car stuff in hk is definitely a rip off though for sure.

BTW I saw a 2001 Porsche turbo for 550k is that good price?
but the colour was yuck bright yellow and the interior was bright yellow too :thumbsdown:
it was at Tsuen Wan shop
will be cool if you are going to get the turbo as well. AK's friend has a yellow/yellow turbo 02 asking $668k, so 01 $550k sounds great if conditions/history are good.

no he will never get new cars, it not his style.
He always ask me and my other friend to look out on 28car and car8 website for good MB AMG 2nd hand.
do forget he buys them and owns them for a year in HK and ships them out to sell
eg SL500 cost only 100k in HK and in UK they are going for about 200k so after shipping he makes about 50 to 70k for each car and most of them he sell within 1st week in UK

o yeah I am his left hander so I will not get the sake from him
I even had to look for a 190E C36 last year for his son and repaint it from black to silver. I think you saw it last year I drove it to AK
I do most of his car stuff like fix it, paint it and some time need to pick him up and drop him off at airport.
I hate driving all his MB :thumbsdown: he has 3 of them in HK
