I want to import and lease one of these cars and was wondering if anybody else

had gone through the same process.

If you want to import one you will need to have your fiance prepared before you starting the importing process, your best bet is to buy one locally saves time and saves you from running around.

The finance is not the issue... I just tell our leasing company the amount for the car and they send me a cheque.. My issues are the following the

-> Leasing company will require photos, engineers certificate and Blue Slip. In addition they will possibly want to send for a Valuation expert to inspect the vehicle.

So I was wondering if anybody had been down this road.

I Looked into it and the leasing company in question where happy to do it.

No inspection was necessary, but the process I was discussing, was I buy the car get it here, registered etc, then they treat it as just another Aussie vehicle. Once it's registered there's no risk/issues for them

I don't think a lease company will be prepared to take on a car which isn't actually on the road here in Aus, unless it was a brand new car purchased from a dealership and you were waiting on delivery.

If you wanted them to basically approved upfront you may need to order the car from an import dealership?

Hence is easier to purchase one here

At the moment I'm finding I've had to move away from the more mainstream financiers and deal with brokers when it comes to financing grey imports and this is for cars that are already here and complied. I go for commercial hire purchase agreements but I'm being asked for a 20% deposit by the mainstream guys, this ruins any tax breaks I may be eligible for. Some may put up the finance for a 5 year deal with no residual(balloon payment) as a lot of these companies find valuing the V35 and imports in general, difficult, so this makes it a bit safer for them. Also I found the interest rate being charged can be up to 5% higher than if you were financing a local car.

With other less conventional financiers they offer to waive the deposit and over value the car by 20%, I'm not sure how this works, to me it sounds like someone will get a phone call from the ATO or ASIC. :rofl:

I've found they also like to alter the conditions while I negotiate with the seller, in my case I had to pull out of the deal.I suppose it's a question of how much do you want that car?

There's a few good places still willing to take a grey import on but for me they are getting hard to find.

Hi All,

I purchased my V35 locally and it is all registered and road worthy etc.

I intially investigated this through my work as they had a company brought on board to do car leasing and all reports after some investigation stated that i could get this leased and all would be good.

by the time i had the car purchasing via a personal loan and regsitered it in my name and then went to move the finance across they tell me they cant lease Grey imports!!!!! as you can imagine i was rather annoyed as i had spent a lot of time trying to get this sorted and would have saved me a fair amount of cash a year etc etc.

anyway i didn't have any luck.

anyone that actually gets a company to lease the V35 please let me know who it is and i will investigate.

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.

      Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.

      Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:

      Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
