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.
