I just can't believe it would be worth wading through post-Soviet bueracracy (in Russian! have fun with that. I doubt I could do it even in French) for a Honda. People actually do stuff like this in African countries quite a bit. A popular thing for young French hipsters going on vacation was to drive an old Renault or something down through Spain to Senegal and sell it for a profit. They're slowly changing laws to appease the colonial bosses at the big car companies and only allow the importation of late-model cars, but it's still occasionally done. You would win tons of points with your father-in-law, though. Oh, I believe you when you say the math works.

I'll show the math later. It’s not as crazy as it sounds. I’ll show the math later.

Maybe if you lived in Russia or China or possibly Japan this would be efficient, but iirc there's a huge ocean between us and Central Asia. Surely it would cost a lot to move a hunk of metal across it just to save a few bucks. Buying a car and shipping it to KZ sounds, frankly, like far more hassle than it’s worth.
