tazzieman Posted 18June, 2015 Report Share Posted 18June, 2015 great colour combo - wear on the seat bolsters and gear knob looks a little harsh for such a low km car Do they not just spray paint leather these days? And the leather is pretty flimsy. Now what about the apparent wear on the brake discs? Groovy, yeah baby? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groovy, yeah baby? Yes - most cars have "Pleather", thank Mercedes Benz for that, real leather (aka cow skin) is typically a rather expensive upgrade Even so - the "Pleather" has worn for such a low km car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike-S Posted 18June, 2015 Report Share Posted 18June, 2015 Checkout the CTS tax on this onehttp://www.classicthrottleshop.com/dailydriver9.html For a minute I thought it was the Autohaus 911, only with $45k added to the price... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the leather is pretty flimsy.Now what about the apparent wear on the brake discs? Groovy, yeah baby?Most leather I thought would still be pigment dyed. Most people want soft leather in their cars which shows wear more quickly than harder leathers. Check out the seats in my E320 next time, they are quite hard, have slight crease lines but still look really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzieman Posted 18June, 2015 Report Share Posted 18June, 2015 Cars since 1997 have a vinyl coating on the leather , so it says here So that would be sprayed coloured vinyl a bit like plastikote? Oh and my 928 seats are like your E320s Adam , tough cowhide! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and my 928 seats are like your E320s Adam , tough cowhide!Not sure? It is still real leather so could just be a thin clear vinyl coating to help protect the leather? A bit like clear coating on paintwork?? If it was just coloured vinyl why have real leather under it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzieman Posted 19June, 2015 Report Share Posted 19June, 2015 If it was just coloured vinyl why have real leather under it? Because quite simply, leather is "prestigious". Even though many animals die for the privilege , but we won't go into that one! Hell, even our kids' old Outback has a little bit of seat leather to set off the plastic walnut trim!

Russ Posted 19June, 2015 Report Share Posted 19June, 2015 this is of interest for leather repair - getting some Boxster seats repaired (and resprayed) on 'Wheeler Dealers' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKAjzjEsrVM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomo Posted 19June, 2015 Report Share Posted 19June, 2015 Yes Good buying for a Turbo T, what % does Taxes and a boat cruize add to the deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ByronBayChris Posted 19June, 2015 Report Share Posted 19June, 2015 $148,000 before anything else. Would GST and lct need to be paid if it was a Prior Australian citizen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboT Posted 19June, 2015 Report Share Posted 19June, 2015 Yes Good buying for a Turbo T, what % does Taxes and a boat cruize add to the deal? i looked into this once - quite a bit..(actually just emailed the seller to see if they can work it out for me) from memory (i am sure others can correct) shipping (about $3000K) 10% gst - think this is on the buy price + the shipping costs duty - (5%?) + good old LCT which is about 30% on any value over $60kish) might also be some compliance costs also Importing high value cars doesn't make much sense with this kind of loading. Keeping it under or near to the LCT threshold and you are probably ok, but where in the world do you find quality P-cars for $60K anymore tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
