btw, get a list of Ralliart dealers in Sydney and call them - someone may drop out and balk at actually handing over a cheque!

 

hmmmm.

Just a quick check - from another importer $55,857.46 delivered at your feet.
+Shipping cost + all the legals 3.5K
+Compliance 3K

ok, a little more than I expected, but this price was from a specialsed Jap exporter in Japan. I'm sure if you went for a trip you could find one cheaper .....

 

Thanks, but since this has happened I've made another Financial commitment ...

I purchased a Merc VITO - for my buisness .... this also made the Miss'es a little happier ...

 

True, but then you've got to amortise the cost of the trip into the car's overall cost too! (unless you are offloading a bit of 'cash' on a holiday )

That 55.8K would of course also depend on the yen's situation at the time of your purchase, and it's been falling lately. I'm a little bit surprised that are bringing the Evo in for the price they are - I expected another 3K minimum.

 

Theres a web site that calculates all the costs. Ill try to find it now.

 

Found the site!

Here is the link!

It looks like importing a $55,000 jap car will cost you around 80 odd grand!!

 

Disappointing news: Unlikely to see my Evo until next week. They are still fitting them out with their radios and Oz spec gear. Slim chance for late this week, but probably next.

 

Is that what your dealer is telling you Evo8DownUnder, why did they tell you this week if it wasnt going to be this week and if it wasnt there fault then where does it start, what level??????? That is my question. Does anyone know whats going on???????

This week it was 30 car next week its no cars, now its 50 cars WTF!!!!!

Are you not going to be pissed with them if it doesnt come next week as well.

 

I'm confident it will be next week - i'm not as pissed off as you are mate!

btw, the tyres issue isn't something I think about - i'm quiet confident Mitsu will have put tyres on the car that are up to the job. I was expecting Pirellis though.

 

do u guys know if we get halogens?

 

yes we do!!

 

Yes we do get hallogen lights. I asked on the US forum how much a set of HID lights would be and here is the response:

 

but in oz u need the little squirters at the front (by law)... so we get them too i assume.. just that the pics i don't see and little squirters..

 

This may be a silly question but what is a squirter??
