Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi All I am looking to buy a new Boxster S and have just started looking at my options. I have just received a quote from my local dealer for $142,000 drive away in QLD. However, for the same car I have a quote of £43,000.00 GBP (current exchange rate that is about $70,000). Big difference. Even with shipping, insurance, import duty, LCT, GST, I estimate this to be about $30,000. Still a massive saving. Seems too easy, am I missing something? Does anyone know of a company that specializes in importing Porsches from the UK? Thanks

Hi mark, check importing cars from the government. I think that you have had to have been in the UK for at least 12 months and owned the car for that time, thus being a personal import, other than that you can check out importing a car through google I dont think you can just get a grey import that easily I was just looking and just cant seem to find a way do do it, although I did not want a new car.
