Skyline Crossover Suv

[N/A®]

Hi guys,

Its time for me to get a family sized car as my 2nd car in Tokyo. Ideally I would love to get a Porsche Cayenne GTS but I need comfort in knowing I can sell it in Aus. The only other vehicle that comes even close (and it isnt anywhere close) would be the Skyline Crossover. I also considered the Infinity FX50 but they are all LHD here.

I dont think the Crossovers are imported that much into Aus but could be wrong. Anyone seen them for sale and can let me know at what price or links? Assuming I get one and send it back to Aus, would there be a strong interest in them as a personal import?

Your comments are appreciated.

Thanks.

look up fabcar in perth. that should give you an idea.

Get a Porsche Cayenne as there is no trouble selling cars like that especially with the amount of high end Euro cars coming out of the UK.

I just pitted a 2008 997 and before it was even registered I had guys I know hitting me up to see if the owner wanted to sell.

At least the Cayenne doesn't look like a Hyundai.

Beat me to it Chris. Fabcar have them but they aint that cheap.....The one on their site is $129,000 but they had another one when I was in there last week that was around $150,000 from memory. They have been imported from England so they also have the full english system, which is an obvious advantage over the Japanese imports.

I have never seen one on the road over here though which is a good thing in my book but obviously no good for resale as noone will know what it is. There are plenty of Porsche Cayenne's over here so that would be an advantage for resale.

Thanks for the comments. I couldn't find any on the Fabcar website for 129k but saw one for 69k. That is also showing a Japanese. I am actually considering the crossover not FX but still, I can't see anyone buying one of those for 129 or 150!

You're thinking of the FX, OP is talking about the EX which, as a Skyline Crossover, would a good deal cheaper, but still not cheap. I'd be curious to know what Fabcar think the compliance is worth...

[Alkatraz]

Sorry guys, my mistake. I dont know what Fabcar quote for complying the crossover but I chatted to them about 370gt's and they said $5-6000, double what I paid a couple of weeks later in Brissie.

Mate, i am looking for a crossover in Sydney, but no luck, as you said 69k's is the only one and i reckon its too expensive, if you could make it within 50-55k mark i think you have a market!!!! I would be the first one!

Alkatraz.. Why the mean post man?? Your post implies that west Australian workshops charge too much money to do the same thing someone else will do for half the cost.

What gives???

That's slander man.

I bet that the next thing you're gonna say is how they whinge n moan all day about how people that work over east aren't as good as the ground they walk on and that 6k is not a just cost!!!

You're so mean.

Correct on point A. Everyone in Western Australia charges too much money for everything. PERIOD.

Dont know what the difference is but I am sure they are similar. I looked at both and they are terrible to be honest. Cheap and nasty, reminding me of why I liked the Porsche. I still want to look at the built of an infinity FX in person and hope its close to the GTR but doubt it will be. They are all also quite smaller inside and out and dont have the presence of a Cayenne on the road.
