Default Lets talk price

I buy and sell cars for many years ,most of them Japanese cars when i want some thing like JMC or Jeep (american cars) i contact my friend in Texas Huston (this 5-6 years ago ) and he buy me from local auctions and some time i found it online and tell him about it ,

remember that i bought jeep xj for maximum 1700 (1000-1700) (97+ only) super clean , i bring like 50 xj over the years to my country and sell them here for good prices .

now the price in my country cheaper than USA check this web site www.dubizzle.com
1 usa dollar 3.7 UAE dirham they sell the xj between (10000-18000)
thats 2700-5000 $

if i decide to bring xj now i well lose or i well got very low profit 500$ maximum because i well add shipping price around 900 RORO for every xj or around 3000 for 4 xj

The strange thing is the Grand cherokee is a lot cheaper (94-2002) here !!

whats exactly going on !!
now i bring them from Japan FOR A LOT CHEAPER but they are hard to find and they are not like the USA specifications (they have some problems) and customers don't like Japan Jeeps .

ebay carglist full of them but a lot $$

More aftermarket support for the XJ, they are easy to work on and run forever so the price is going up. The sweet spot where they were cheap and no one knows about them has gone by. Plus they haven't built one for 11 years and the current supply is wearing out.

The Grand is a good value but less aftermarket support.

Maybe it's time to branch out, and switch to importing and selling a different type of automobile . I would think these would be a big seller over by you. There is thousands of these VW beetles in Mexico. Cheap and easy to build. A blast to drive. And in arid conditions. I would gladly take one of these over a 4x4.
