thanks for your contact

I already send him a few mails.

what do you think about this prices:

base price from Dakar to Leixoes: 1170 euros
taxes in Dakar: 1226 euros
taxes in Leixoes: 376 euros
(1 container of 40' with 3 SIII 88)


are't the taxes in Dakar too expensive? I'm going to pay more in Dakar than from all the trip from Dakar to Leixoes!!!


one more thing:

what was your autonomy of fuel? how many liters of diesel did you take in each serie?


best regards

Hello Bernardo,

sorry for mailing back so late. The prices seem OK. About the taxes : when we shipped our landies back we had to pay only a small fraction of the estimated port-taxes in Banjul.
Taxes tend to be as expensive as the actual shipping-costs.

Some people put the car not in a container but on deck : this costs about 1/3 of the price for container-transport. Safety is ofcourse another issue : make sure your landie is burglar-proof.

My series 109 has 3 fuel-tanks : 2 under the frontseats (both about 45liters) and 1 above the rear-axle (about 80liters). So in total about 170 liters of diesel : more then enough (the fuel consumption of my series with DAF400 2,5 dieselengine was about 12 liters/100km : on tarmac and pistes, more ofcourse in loose sand).

I took 2 jerrycans on the roofrack which I only filled up when the fuel was very cheap.

See you,

Karel
