Quick Question Regarding F50 Cima!

[Mr Eps]

hey guys, figured i'd post this in import forum cos you guys always have full PM inboxes

i'm looking at buying an F50 cima soon (SOON soon)

just wondering the average cost breakdown of importing these minus the car itself,

ie

your service fee

shipping costs

how much does compliance cost

is it best to get compliance done in QLD and then have re-shipped to WA? if so do you know how much this will cost?

tax?

GST?

not looking for REAL figures here just looking for approximations of haing the car landed and complied from the auctions but without the cost of the car itself cos that will make things too complex cos that's a variable figure

i only want the concrete ones =)

[rs73]

your service fee $1000-ish

shipping costs $1500-ish

how much does compliance cost $2000-3000-ish depending on model plus tyres ($800-900)

is it best to get compliance done in QLD and then have re-shipped to WA? if so do you know how much this will cost? Why? - no one can do it in WA?

tax? about 15% of the car cost

GST? 10% of the (car cost + duty + shipping)

Example for a 1.8million yen car (approx $18k) , the custom clearance that includes shipping, tax & gst cost about $6k in total. Plus broker fee $1k, compliance and tyres $4k that is about $11k on top of what is spent in japan, bringing total up to $29k. Then you need to add the cost of local alarm if the original one is not up to scratch, and registration cost in your state. Interstate transport if you want to get one done in QLD for certain reason (e.g. getting Chris Rogers' conversion) then expect to pay an extra $300-400 for a return trip on the back of a transport car.
