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! :)

i just found out prestige motorsport in WA does import them.

http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au/modul...hp?StockID=4745

sedans no idea ut in wa our prices are a little crazy. v36 coupe would be $90k at fabcar.

Understatement of the decade :yes: . $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 :yes: come on NSW!!!

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

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.

Edited by Chris Rogers

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.

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
