Looks like after all the time the government had to get the grey import rules right they have completely stuffed them up.

Fixing the bodgy camper van rort = a good thing.
The rest - the power to weight ratio is a bit light on but that really only kills off a few of the ricer imports and there are enough of those around now. Cheers Russ

They've covered all bases ... the stuff you can register LHD as 25years or older, now all gets stopped at export because of the asbestos mismanagement process ...

On the bright side it probably means that the cars that have made it and are registered are going to worth a bit more.

The idea of "parallel imports" was always problematic IMHO. Fact is you CAN import new cars, many companies do. Landcruisers from SA or Thailand with the non-turbo diesels are a popular choice. Obviously you get no warranty, and they can't be registered or insured, which suits many mining companies just fine. Allowing the registration of non-compliant cars, and/or allowing dodgy-joe to fit compliance plates, would make a mockery of ADRs. Also keep in mind that the vast majority of consumer and design laws are designed to protect rubes. So the idea of allowing somebody to sell you a near new Toyota with absolutely no warranty whatsoever, is madness. |
