I was going to reply to everyone who asked me a question in reply to one of my posts... but you guys aren't even listening to what I'm saying, and just extracting parts of my sentences and taking them out of context and then calling me out on them.
At the end of the day, I would like to limit the number of dirt cheap skylines entering Australia, because I don't want 16 year olds writing them off (adversely affecting the car enthusiast scene), and I don't want my car to depreciate prematurely (adversely affecting my bank account balance)...
Even if this 15 year old rule is scrapped (and I'll bet anyone here that it will be either scrapped or changed), there will still be plenty of japanese import cars for future owners to choose from, be it from cars already in australia or those still being imported through SEVS... It's not like scrapping the 15 year old rule will stop the flow of skylines entering our market. It will only stop the flow of dirt cheap ones that don't have to go through compliance.
Elitist, selfish, whatever... call it what you want. I call it looking after my own interests as an owner and car enthusiast.
Here ends my partaking in this fruitless and endless discussion between two groups who have completely opposite goals regarding the importation of japanese cars.
Thanks for the interesting chat guys, and I mean that...
