    Recommendation 5.4

    The Australian Government should progressively relax the restrictions on the importation of second-hand passenger and light commercial vehicles. The new regulatory arrangements for imported second-hand vehicles should be developed in accordance with the outcomes of the Australian Government’s current review of the Motor Vehicle Standards Act 1989 (Cwlth) and should:

    • not commence before 2018, and ensure that reasonable advance notice is given to affected individuals and businesses, such as vehicle leasing companies
    • be preceded by a regulatory compliance framework that includes measures to provide appropriate levels of community safety, environmental performance and consumer protection
    • initially be limited to vehicles manufactured no earlier than five years prior to the date of application for importation
    • be limited to second-hand vehicles imported from countries that have vehicle design standards which are consistent with those recognised by Australia.

    The Australian Government should remove the $12,000 specific duty on imported
    second-hand vehicles from the Customs Tariff as soon as practicable.

      At very least the government should be removing the luxury car tax on new vehicles, considering it was brought in to help protect the local manufacturers

        Interesting indeed Mr. Felix. I imagine you're hoping that the relaxing of import laws extends back to at least pre 2005 models so it drives down the prices of NSXs.

                        It'll come down to how Mazda Australia prices it :P

                        Rumour is a $39k entry point. Price it right and it will be a hit.

                                It was only a matter of time, I sense a return to the days of the ATCC.
