[QUOTE="Rorywg, post: 1134779, member: 9318"] I've imported 2 raptors to the UAE from the US. The first was a 2010 SCAB that I bought on exporttrader.com. It was fantastic- arrived in showroom condition and went like a missile. I bought it in 2011 for $43k, plus $800 to ship it from New Jersey ( I don;t know where the earlier poster got the $3k shipping fee). I abused it, then a friend bought it from me. it is still going strong even though it looks a little more worn than when it arrived a few years ago! The second was one I bought through SDHQ in Arizona. This was a a bit over $60k but was pretty well modified. It's a 2012 SCAB and I bought it, again, at a year old. It was more expensive to ship as it came from San Francicso (slower and more expensive as the boat comes across the Pacific). It has been a bit less reliable, probably because I have driven it a bit too enthusiastically. Personally, I wouldn't buy one from Al Tayer as I have had only bad experiences with their service department and have heard from friends that there are difficulties in having the warranty honoured if the trucks has been used/damaged offroad. Mind you, there are very few other places that are any good at working on these trucks, which is crazy but seems to be the case. If I were buying one again, I think I would look closely at exporttrader as it is as close to a dealer experience as you can get from here. The shipping etc is all really easy. If I wanted to buy something with mods, in which case the warranty will be in question anyway, I would go the SDHQ route. Ryan and his team are exceptional. [/QUOTE]
