    hi,

    dont think I have ever seen a website, it is an untable deal, either you gotta know a guy, or a mainland company willing to take the risk and arrange it for you. The latter is unlikely because of the percieved risk of responsibility in case of an accident (unless you own the company). Another option that mainly people chose to get around the problem is just get a mainland licence and buy a car on the mainland.

    $200-$250 is black market. The folks you see driving with two sets of plates usually have a business location inside China. The govt. issues them a certain number of license plates depending on the business.
