Got to remember thou , they have to import it and convert it to right hand drive and that too . So its always going to be dearer then American prices

I wonder if someone could break that cost down and detail what they are for.

I know there are import duties and such but it would be interesting to see the fine details.

I was talking to someone who had a GT500 at work, and I said that it was sad that they cost so much for what they are (a relativly cheap car in the states) and he looked offended so I quickly walked off lmao

Yes dearer, but by that much?

They're manufactured in RHD now for the UK market. Not a big deal.

 

[Verynice]

same as our export holdens are cheaper to buy in the US than here...

Take into account:

Purchase Price
Transport to Australia (including custom duties and import taxes)
All required conversion parts
Labour hours for conversion
ADR testing/approval/registration
Dealer profit

It adds up....

Can you read? Camaros are manufactured in RHD now. There is no reason to ad the cost of RHD conversion. The import costs and import taxes are the killers.

Your a smart man, do some digging and try to import one from uk, see what the costs are, i for one would be interested in knowing.
