New F Type Jag

[MarknDeb]

Gday did anyone else watch the Top Gear SW20 EP 6, they cover the new F Type Jag and my god it would have to be one of the of the best looking and sounding car ever made, yes I know this is a big call but if anyone has not seen it go to FinalGear.com :: Shows :: Top Gear :: Season 20 (http://www.finalgear.com/shows/topgear/20/) and download it if you do not have time go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1CzVGl1X6w and watch this one, I will dream about it tonight :angel:

[Homestar]

Yes, awesome looking car!:)

[MarknDeb]

I can not get over the price difference from UK to AU, it is selling in UK around 60,000 pound but here just under 200k how the hell do they get the price difference, surely tax's wouldn't be that high.

Stunning car. Great alternative to a 911. Though given the choice, I would probably still go for the Porsche because it is ultimately a better drive.

[MarknDeb]

It may be a better drive but the jag is by far better to look at and the sound well I said that before :angel:

Importing a luxury car.
Take the customs value - $102,000 (Current exchange rate on £60,000)
Customs duty -5% of CV - $5,100
Transport & insurance - $2,200 (Approx)
All that equals the Luxury Car Value - $109,300
GST is payable of the LCV - $10,930
Which equals - $120,230
Luxury car tax is now payable on this figure. This kicks in at 33% above $60,316 for the 13/14 financial year.
(LCV-LCT threshold) x 10/11 x 0.33 so 120,230-60,316 x 10/11 x 0.33 = 17,974.20

So, now you are at $138,204 before you take into account Dealership charges and markup - around $6 to $10K on something like this, then there's the big one - LIVING IN AUSTRALIA!!!! Which on this car works out to roughly $30K!!!!
Yep as you said - a bloody ripoff...

Baaaa....:D:D:D

[lebanon]

This is a very nice car that I will never drive, first because it will be very expensive, second because I will not fir inside.

[Cobber]

I would seriously consider donating a kidney for an F-Type. :D

[Pedro_The_Swift]

Donate two and I'll have one,,,;):p

saw an F Type yesterday in BRG,,
very nice saloon.

[disco gazza]

Saw the episode late last night after work,very nice car.
But I'd prefer a Vogue if I had the money to spend.:cool:

cheers.

[VladTepes]

I haven't seen it yet, but I want it already.....


If it's a Jag it WILL look better than a 911, no question.

[Geedublya]

It looks really nice, smaller than the photos. The interior is very nice as well.
I sat in one last month when I was in the US.

Here is some footage that I took this morning at the Adelaide Targa rally.

That'll shut those control officials up:twisted:

[AnD3rew]

Saw one in the flesh today at the All British day. It is bloody gorgeous, much better in real life than any of the pics I have seen.

I very badly want one.

[The Cone of Silence]

Saw that one too Andrew......such a good-looking car in the flesh. Has the graceful Jag lines but with a few nice aggressive touches as well.

Wonderful looking car. That's the Christmas list sorted.

Were you displaying a Landy there?

Yep, I had my D3 in the LROC Sydney section. How bout you?

[The Cone of Silence]

Yeah got there a bit late but parked Monty up next to a Defender camper and a fun-looking 90.

Another cracking day like last year. Looking forward to the EXPO now...might even give him a clean for that one!
