Sorry, don't want to hijack this thread with my venting.....

Dragonwind / perfectlap
you guys drive on the wrong side of the road - were like the Brits and Japanese- right hand drive cars only.... No LHS steering wheels allowed unless (I think) over 15 or 20 years old - and the paperwork, the paperwork.....

The import of private vehicles would attract import duty, excise tax, Luxury Car Tax and GST to bring the price up to the same or more as the same vehicle sold in Australia....
This was lobbied by the car import barons to "protect their investment" so you are screwed which ever way you turn.

I scrimpt & saved for years to buy my 2001 Boxster S which I bought in 2008 from the OPC - it cost me $US56,000. OK, it was in good shape with a 12 month warranty, but others I looked at @ $US45,000 were rubbish. I even import service parts from the US as its cheaper to than buy locally. Theres something wrong somewhere.....
