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.

      Biggest thing is you're okay!   It sounds like between the accident, and the drive home, it was a pretty torturous trip again! On the bright side, you took the opportunity to enjoy the event more from the perspective of a spectator, than as an entrant!   Sad to see so much damage to the car. It really has taken a HUGE hit in the front end. If/when you choose to repair, hopefully the rails are straight (At least from shock tower backwards). Hopefully the extra cage coming through there has save most of the chassis rails, and HOPEFULLY saved the motor too. Best of luck when you eventually get motivated to start pulling it down to check it all out

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?

      The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.

      What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!

      Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !
