?? can Bumper be blamed if they only add on the freight, the customs/clearance, the gst and the delivery for Aust customers.

I mean, $8795 in the USA is alot of money, alot of money, but by the time it gets here with all the add ons, what can Bumper do ? they have to make a dollar and pay all the costs. The problem is, the std silver WOZ here is more than the original LE pricing. Freight, customs, gst n delivery, plus the Bumper profit, kills it. Is it Bumpers fault, or shld JJP lower the pricing for overseas markets ? who is going to buy a silver model ? imagine trying to resell it compared to a LE with all the goods.

Its a problem for Australian JJP buyers. Prices compared to the LE arent down, and thats the issue.
TonyT's comment is also spot on. U need competition ....

Anyway, i am going to bed. I wont be dreaming about a WOZ, unless they release a Pro.lol  

No- Distributor here would have bought at same or under the price of distributor in US, meaning that $8795 is a price with good profit on it already.. fill a container, pay GST, add to price and Bobs your uncle.. dollar here is worth more so your profit is more than US distributor.

Paying more for the standard model once here is the ultimate piss take on the part of said distributor... maybe they are secretly working for Bruce and its a deceptive act of negative marketing?
