Where are you going ? Shanghai ? Shanghai's road condition are excellent. I have benn there once and I really want to have my car there so that I can race on highway

I think the gasoline is good in Shanghai cuz there are so many 760iL, SL500/600 and S500/600 so I don't think there will be a problem.

Thanks
Ben

i think its too much money and complication involved to bring the car over and maintaining it there.
but then, if money is not a problem, go right ahead.
MONEY=Sovles MOST OF THE THINGS.

Seriously where are you going exactly? Beijing and Shanghai you will have no problems. Getting replacement parts in mainland China might be alittle difficult but you will definitely be able to get them from Hong Kong. There is a good size s2000 club in HK and tuning shops that specialize in the s2000. I assume that you or your family has a decent amount of money since this is even an issue. So if money really isn't a factor, and you stay in the big cities you shouldn't have any problems. Traffic is traffic but you learn to live with it.

Do you know how much labour cost is in Shanghai ? I visited one reputable shop there and they charge only $26RMB per hour which is only $3-$4USD .I go WTF !!!! That's incredibly cheap ! FYI, Superautobacs also have a branch there so you don't have to worry about servicing your car there.

^^^ Well, in that case, here's a thought. Station your car in Hong Kong, and you can go out to HK and drive it on weekends. As others have mentioned, there is a good size S2000 club in HK and there is no problem with either gas, roads, or service in HK. Good luck.

I guessed right

Shenzhen is a pretty remarkable place with a ton of companies making high quality products and undercutting everyone else in the world in price. This place is going to grow sky high.

I can't say I like being in Shenzhen, but the one redeeming thing about it is its proximity to HK. The traffic, pollution, aesthetics, construction, have a lot to be desired. But at least you can drive the car year round.

Well, next time I'm there, I'll keep my eye open for the S. And if you ever go by Foxconn, the Crowne Plaza, or LH, give a hollar!

you guys are all too crazy, I'll be too worried about being car jacked or getting the car stolen, where would I park it for one thing?. A car spot in HK is 5 figures or more a year. Another thing is everyone would be looking at you wanting to roll your arse...
