I did not realize shipping from USA to NZ costs over $30,000 USD.

One of my friend’s dad had a Ferrari shipped from Italy to Australia and the shipping cost was around $2,000 USD.

If Holden / GM want to sell any worthwhile amount of these vehicles they will have to find a way to price them below AU$40 000.
