[Chrysler300] Importing 300's from overseas

["christopher beilby" <thelastbestgenius@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

One might hope that all is as simple as Dee alludes to re no extra charges 
than say $10 here or there ?

Oil companies are maybe near as rich as shipping companies, and why? - 
anyone remember your former President Kennedy's wife getting involved with 
some slightly well off person - who did guess what??! - owned as shipping 
line !!  But then maybe he did not get rich running that?

My not too great experiences of shipping cars, items, near always sees them, 
never mind the freight forwarders, etc, all present lists of items on their 
bills for all sorts of amazing little items that makes one wonder - ok you 
can understand quarantine, fumigation, but it seems they see old car 
importers as sort of suckers like gas/petrol buyers - namely we have 'got 
you' buddy, you are going to fill our pockets even further!!!  Old cars to 
many are seen as toys, a luxury, and therefore a soft touch.

Things your end may be way better than here - if so, god luck to you still,

Christopher in Australia
