Vehicle prices may change depending on auction results, market conditions, exchange rates, transportation costs, taxes, duties, shipping charges, port charges and other applicable costs.
Any price communicated by Far East Corporation should be considered subject to confirmation until the relevant transaction has been formally accepted and payment requirements have been communicated.
Additional charges may apply depending on the destination country and the services requested by the customer.
