Griffo said:Why is it that there are a number of accessories available for the Forester in the US, that we can't get here.and visa-versa. There are some options not available over there. I think tax is our killer.
That's not quite true of the Foresters. All of them come from Japan still.Dave T said:I have noticed the same thing and have impoted some parts for that reason.
The US cars are made in the USA and have many minor differences from our cars wich are made in Japan.
Griffo said:I assume they are still assembled in the USFully imported I understand
True - but most of them belong to Inchcape and they set the price across the boarddicknose said:Lastly - there is no reason that a subaru dealer cant charge you less than rrp for a part.
All goods (except for tobacco products and alcoholic beverages) may be imported duty and tax free if their value is $1,000 or less.
Thanks for the info on that one, it must be other Subaru models that are made in the states.Roo said:That's not quite true of the Foresters. All of them come from Japan still.Dave T said:I have noticed the same thing and have impoted some parts for that reason.

Dave. How much was the rear bumper step panel into Aussie ?Dave T said:Griffo I imported from subiegal a rear bumper step panel, 6 oil filters and a set of wheel lock nuts for less than A$200 delivered to my door.
Agree !Griffo said:Candy,
According to Subaru Genunie Parts, the rear step is $36.62 https://www.subarugenuineparts.com/product_info.php?products_id=336
Shipping by surface mail (4-6 weeks) would be <$10.
Total cost into Aussie would be about $62.50!!! Bit cheaper than $215!!
I was going to buy one for my MY01 RX Liberty and the Subaru Salesman advised me not to buy one.Griffo said:Has anyone else had experience with the car-bras, both positive or negative???
