Probably better for people to wait after the gold rush ends...

I wonder how the people that paid $80,000 for an STi back in the day feel now when they look in the garage. Best bet is to go down to your local Nissan dealer and make a deposit, then wait.

edit: Kloster group is a Nissan dealer... so I guess, if that dealer knows its allocation and has cars left then it is probably good to get in on that.

When you do the sums buying a new Premium in Japan then calculate everything into it including Duty's, ORC, Insurance, Fringe Benefits Tax and Compliance you will be looking at $150,000 to $160,000 then you want to allow for warranty after that is covered you need to get hold of one.

Whats fringe benefit tax got to do with buying a car lol

FBT is only applicable if you lease the vechicle

or if you register it as a company car under a company name

oh and while on the topic of leasing (which is what most rich business types would do on this sorta car) dont forget the extra 1% luxary tax per annum in QLD... :D

i heard from a reliable source that it will be released here from Sept 2008

I would love to know what source that is. I would wager some dough they are less reliable than you think. if nissan is delivering R35s in September this year I will do a nudie run at the sydney motor show. :D

they may having pricing by september, and they may be taking firm orders then too, but i am fairly certain they wont be delivering any to customers.

I did the math and came out around $135k including:

- FOB cost of the car, buyers fees, freight, bank fees

- Import Duty, GST, LCT, Wharf fees, AQIS fees, DOTARS Fees and customs agents fees

- Compliance costs, Registration, Green Slip, Stamp Duty

- Comprehensive insurance for $120k

- Import Broker fees (which you dont need to add but I chucked in anyway)

Did not include any warranty because I do not believe an aftermarket warranty is really worth the paper it's printed on

I highly doubt the reliability of your source.

Guess we will just have to wait and see eh??

My dealer told me that no dealers have been allocated any cars, or been given GTR dealer status.

All the orders and deposits have been sent to Nissan Oz and they will be dealing with us directly, although I have not heard anything yet.

I do not expect much change out of $150k, as I believe we will only see the PRemium spec and may be the black spec cars here, already loaded with options.

The allocation for Oz is also very small, I heard it will be 6 units per month.

      Import insurance in 2025

      By MBS206 · Posted

      My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.

      A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call

      I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛

      Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).
