the one i have been waiting for

[lee st]

After seeing a snap a couple years back of a muddy black maloo in london i wanted it. after seeing a detailing album containing more pics a few months ago i decided should it come on the market i would buy it. Its on the market but so steep i cant justify it maybe next time round.

Does look the bks !!!!!

[Tattooboy]

Highest spec in country..........really !!

Good thing about that ad, it's made my mind up not to get my wheels done black.

[raving]

All the money but thin on the ground , to much black

[ARAF]

Yes, the wheels look lost - unless they are dirty.

As Raving has said, strong money, but you can't negotiate up once someone is interested, and Maloos are thin on the ground here.

Was offered this last year. More mods fitted since and price has gone up. Would have been cheaper to sell before more mods fitted

Too much black ie 100% but very rare and nice mods

can think of a couple of cars with bigger spec

Looks great even with black wheels IMHO

But the price

I think it's a lot of money to get to 500bhp and stop.

Neither do I, but the lack of a bank balance has made me think a bit and choose carefully.

I still really struggle with the concept of blackening headlights.

But you're better off with the two you have.

Not keen on that either but does peel off

[raving]

Ve Maloos have to much going on , lights,chrome etc I prefer more subtle ,looks a cumbersome car & prob is with that pedders tat on

Everyone thinks diff tho , so if its what you want buy it ...

Surely there comes a point where importing is cheaper. Is this it?

Nope. HSVs hold their money well in Oz. Add in the transport, 22% duty and 20% VAT and it becomes very expensive.


$46k for a 2012 E2 @ 1.9188 = £23973

Shipping (low estimate) = £3000

Value for duty = £26973

Duty @ 22% = £5934.06

Value for VAT (excluding terminals) = £32907.06

VAT @ 20% = £6581.41

Total cost landed = £39488.47 Then you need type approval, and last time I checked, I was quoted £3k

Frankly, the Vauxhall offers on new Maloos are very good value.
