I arrived at another one of the yards that I use for business and this is what I witnessed. A perfectly good Range Rover being cut in two and a Land Rover waiting in the wings for the chopping block. What?!? These cats buy these vehicles in the States. Cut them in two. Load them into a tractor trailer and head out of the country with them. These were headed for Guatemala. I asked why. Explanation was that the vehicle export tax costs more than the vehicle is worth so they cut them in half...then they are taxed as parts...and off they go. They claimed they were parted out once in Guatemala but the more questions I asked the more I realized that they actually will put them back together!!!! What?!?
