I REBUILT ADAM LZ'S WRECKED PORSCHE GT3... NOW WHAT?

After buying and rebuilding Adam LZ's Porsche 911 GT3 i now have to decide what ill do with it. As the Porsche is over 4000 miles away from home i need to work out whether i pay import & delivery fees to get it back to the UK or weigh up the other options.

[@lgtv8526]

Breakdown on what they are doing here. 1. If mat were to bring it back home he would have had to pay all the taxes and Vat on the retail price of the car. 2.But by selling it to Freddy for a far lesser price tag of what he brought it for wrecked. Freddy will have to pay far less Taxes when he will be shipping it back to UK. 3. It’s a smart move on their part to save up quite a lot of money and to grow their YT channels by showcasing such a unique give he will be giving away to his friend. Not mad just want them to be more clear on why they did that. I don’t know if this a legal move since they will be evading tens or thousand of dollars by doing so.

[@lgtv8526]

Evading taxes isn’t cool. Still a great end

[@kayinwh]

@@lgtv8526of course it’s legal, they’re not evading taxes because the car will stay in the US. if freddie brings it to the UK it wont be forever, it might be for a week or so when stays. you’re completely misunderstanding what’s happened lol

This is amazing generosity and confirms what others have already said - you have real heart! Well done, my man! I'm already looking forward to your next Porsche adventure!

[@jttaylor007]

This journey has been so good to watch from start to when Adam LZ crashed it, from Matt and the Freddy link up, to Dad and Matt building this car back and now being bought back by Freddy. Now thats not a Friendship. Thats a Brotherhood. Been an absolute pleasure

They are just smart, evading taxes isn’t cool

[@aquacruisedb]

@@lgtv8526 Oh dear... So wrong on so many levels. 1. Freddy's plan is to tour with the car, UK, Europe. It will remain on a US plate, so it will not be imported and will return back to US after the tour (you can do this for up to 6 months stay). Therefore there is no import, no taxes, no duties 2. If this was their plan it would've been a very dumb plan, since customs assess value based on book rate / retail / valuation. I've been importing & exporting for over 20 years and customs NEVER use invoice value (simply because anyone can knock up a sales invoice!)

[@JamesBrown-ux9ds]

Mat's father deserves a an acknowledgement of 50k US Dollars this time as well. He is so important to all the projects and sometimes, in certain moments, almost pivotal to help to push through. And there has been a deal before, i think it looks like - Mat never was fully free to sell the car @market price in the US and keep the money for himself. Mat worked and got payed all his expences for but his profit needs now to come out of KZbin. That's the deal. His channel got leverage - and potential more viewers on both sides of the Atlantic too. I hope this pays out. (Otherwise the UK worked to fuel the US.)
