ok, this is right up my ally...kinda

1. No one is doing the compliance for a V36 SEDAN, lots of coupes out there

2. The reason is that 'there isnt enuf interest in the market'....even thou i told them i would provide the test car but they all refused saying its not worth it.

3. Thus, the only way you can bring one in is through the 12month ownership rule, which i don't think will happen since your not in japan.

...lol ive bugged guys at compliance shops about this till they told me to hang up and not call again!...i was very interested in one because i wanted my parents to get it instead of a new C class...but yeh they went ahead with the C class cuz there is no way....and by the looks of the market and consumer confidence, especially in the imported car market...i don't think we will see one any time soon or later, or even after that....but feel free to bug them a lil more!

What ISN'T $90k at Fabcar?

absurd, $65k for an excellent condition sounds more reasonable... with all the dealers bling bling 3yr warranty

less if you import it yourself, probably $50k-ish for a very low km like new model

Understatement of the decade . $20k average higher than anyone else and you'd have to ask what warranty is worth that premium!!!!!!!!

And the vehicles are not "pristine" to warrant the premium costs!!!! A work colleague knows the DP thru' motorsports and let's just say it was no "glowing" report.

lol a little extract showing car is gonna be a bit more then the 43,000 quoted....

"We have included the cost of shipping, import duties, GST, and our service fee in this estimate. Please note that the price allows for a free compliance deal, whereby the vehicle would be used by a compliance workshop for several months as a sample vehicle. Should immediate compliance be required, allow another $3,850 for normal compliance, plus tyres.

Not included is the cost of tyres, Govt. stamp duty and registration (normal licensing costs for any vehicle)."

....but seriously for that price its WAY too expensive...plus if you do import it yourself im 100% sure you can have one complied ($3850) and on road for around $35000....but its good to know there is finally someone who is doing compliance...a bit late for me now thou come on NSW!!!

add another $6k to fix the navi and TV - already had two CKV36 coupes ask the question. (yes I have it worked out.)

as for complaince on the sedans - don't know of anyone doing htem I know RAWS in darra (top gear vehicle imports) are doing the coupe. both of my referrals came from there.

reads as: you buy it we will use it as a test car to clear compliance and gather evidence to do future cars.

fair call really as its a $30k a pop run on the emissions and the time involved in measuring and load testing every item on the car. means the shop that gets the test car doesn't have to shell out the $60k for the car on top of everything else.

ive just checked there website and indeed its $90k. now i just feel really bad buying it from them =(. was in a rush when i bought mine last oct 08 and ended up nearly $50k for my v35 at 18k kms. shouldve imported my own

I can't wait for a few of these to hit Aus.

I don't think there's anything wrong with what prestige are saying. As chris said, it's just a case of free compliance, and the fact that they'll need the car for about 6 months.
