temporarily seized while the owners look for "connections" to legally register their car into the mainland

Or until someone in customs with "connections" finds a way to buy it for themselves and flip it.

Wouldn't surprise me if the guys at SR had their hand in helping ship that car but got caught at customs.

why are these cars seized? not being imported legally? i mean if u have enough money to buy a phantom/ maybach, u should have enough $$ to get it in or know enough connections

ya something doesn't add up, nobody who can afford a phantom is going to risk having it seized just to avoid a bit of tax or something. Its probably just some holding yard where they're stored while paperwork goes through.

i can bet u, majority of those cars r "leased" through dealer ships, then the owners shipped it back to china to sell via black market. the car will be reported as "stolen" to icbc, and can never be recovered since the car is out of the country by then. the owners only paid down payment + a few month of lease, and in return, he gets paid the value of the car sold in china.

Not seized, but more of a temporary storage by the China Customs while doing importing paperwork. The time length of the 'hold' depends on how solid of a connection the owner have with the customs' authorities. The better the connection, the faster the process, and the shortest time to get the car on the road. Taxes are gonna be hefty, but worth it.

i wonder if its actually possible? where would u take a rolls for maintenance, wouldn't icbc be on ur ass for a 600k car missing

Well a rolls may not be possible. But other cars r HIGHLY possible. Its impossible for icbc to know the car has been exported so they'll have to pay out the insurance. Dealer gets the money back for the car from icbc, icbc chalks that up as another stolen vehicle, owner pockets the money from sellin the vehicle. And don't forgot "imported" car like those sell for a lot higher value than compared to here.

Love how people jump to conclusions here when they don't know anything. Like what someone said here... it's a storage facility until the vehicles are roadworthy for China meaning having all documents handled and taxes paid.

Ya read about a story last month where some dood in Toronto left his Jag running while running into a corner store. Turned up months later re-registered to some dood in Beijing.
