On further research, the SEVs route for importation doesn't seem financially worthwhile (ie. landed cost on a F360 is closer to 150k!, with lower re-sale prices and harder to re-sell): http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=170586...

You're probably right. I've read on this forum below figures closer to 40-50k to get these sorts of cars on the road in AUS. www.aussieexotics.com These guys below are quoting ''25k+'' or so drive away: http://www.sportsandprestigeimports.com/allowable.html...

Fantastic, thanks Y-man, I've printed that thread out to have a read!

These guys below could do the compliance on a Ferrari 360 for 23.5k: http://www.modenaimports.com/Pricelist..pdf So add this to a 91k AUD purchase price from the UK, plus some ancilliary costs, and you get about 115-120k AUD total. It would cost you at least 160k, but up to 220k...

I should have added... ''and somehow make it tax-deductible''!

What about getting a waiver for this rule under the "Specialist & Enthusiast Vehicle Scheme (SEVS)", for certain cars? : http://rvcs-prodweb.dot.gov.au/sevs/sevsindex.htm Plenty of importable sports cars eg. Aston Martin's, Maserati's, Ferrari's and Lamborghini's on that list! (no Porsche...

Shared ownership or ''fractional ownership'' is the "smarter way to own"... according to this site!: http://www.fractionallife.com/

Thanks Jonathon, That's very interesting. The Ferrari 360 can be bought in the UK for under 50k pounds, or $91k AUD today!! If I could somehow import one (by being non-resident for 12 mths), and split the cost b/w 2-4 people, it might work out quite cheap...

Can you import Ferrari's, Lamborghini's etc... to Australia?? Also, I'm starting to think that forming a ''car syndicate'' with say 4 other people you know, may be a better way to own one of these cars. A bit like boat syndicates or for holiday homes shared between families. Eg. buying a...

Here's a great article on how much of a cash drain these cars are: http://www.supercarclub.com.au/uploads/files/article-tsinterview-0509.pdf

Hi there, I found this site quite interesting: http://www.supercarclub.com.au/index.php/how-it-works Do car enthusiasts here think it may be cost-effective? As opposed to for instance renting a car from a place like this...
