What an absolute waste. SURELY there is something better that can be done with these cars.

Sends a strong message though its a big waste imo.
Maybe auction them off for charity in other countries on behalf of the Philipino people & bring the proceeds back to them? Depends on supply but doable. Its perhaps a win win for their government & the people, if it brings in some good coin why not lol! cheers, Maka

I wonder if they do any VIN checks with the manufacture?
I'm betting most of these cars would be stolen from the country of origin. The best way to reduce theft is to remove the demand

The Philippines president isn't all that bright huh!
A smarter person would have exported them and made a few million for the country (and the president) so the rest of the world could appreciate the cars.

The argument is if they were allowed to be sold, it would then be profitable to seize them, with that profit motive creating corruption.

First commonsense post I've read in the whole thread! If they sell them then it provides a market for illegally imported high end cars, the buyers at auction are the same folk who imported them! So they get a million dollar ( possibly ) stolen car for 20% of its true value, and all legal. I don't like Duerte, he is as crooked as any I have seen, but its his corrupt mates who would of bought them!.. Not a good look is it... Billy. |

Export costs, sale costs plus the fact that many of the cars may be stolen or have otherwise dubious histories would mean no guarantee of even making money selling them

Who knows the history of every car you have bought? (Unless every car is new, but that would still be questionable)
