Thread: Ineos Grenadier, do you reckon it'll take off?

I can confirm it did not incur luxury car tax even with some decent modifications.

LCT was introduced to protect our local car industry.

What local car industry?

Same as Land Tax,its just robbery.

Commercial vehicles do not incur LCT.

There are many LC200's around that didnt incur it either.
One is parked under our carport.

Am wondering if a 'private' purchase of an IG would attract the LCT...
If it does, then easy DIY fit extras might be better done later... or taking account of markup it may not make that much difference... thanks for your replies
cheers

Best part of accessories fitted at delivery - all covered by New vehicle warranty

Sometimes worth the trade off in additional costs.

Some manufacturers,such as Mitsubishi will warrant a genuine accessory if fitted after delivery.
The accessory is then covered for the balance of the vehicles new car warranty,5yrs,10yrs,whatever.

So two invoices,one for the vehicle,then one for the accessories,fitted a few days after delivery.

So it comes down to whether the Grenadier is classed as a commercial vehicle or a passenger vehicle? Does that mean the two seater is commercial and the 5 seater is Passenger? Just gone through the just released Australian price list. My specs adds up to more than I wanted to spend! Well over a hundred K . The site says that this does not include taxes and delivery etc. But does include GST. Quite confusing.

Maybe a rethink of my holding deposit!
