I would prefer instead of fighting and showing your skills of jealousy , you could give him some useful info about importing.
It's his decision whether he wants to import a car or not.
He is asking you for information , thus not to believe him.
[U]So please if you dont have anything useful to say please don't bother replying.
My opinion would be that you could import it from UAE as you already are importing a LHD car.
The duty would be the same but the purchase price would be different.
One more thing you could do is to take the engine out before shipping the car and ship the engine seperately. I belive that could save you alot of cash.
