Can I keep the fancy driving styles of my GR SPORT with this upgrade kit?
Yes, we are the only SSM that allows you to keep these driving styles. This is achieved by keepin the factory rear shock absorbers which have electronic feedback into the vehicle itself.
How is it that this build out doesn't attract luxury car tax?
The vehicle is classified as a commercial vehicle by both ROVER and the ATO. This is the only 300 Series re-build which is backed by a Private Tax Ruling from the ATO. This means that the ATO has reviewed our scheme (their word, not ours!), and has advised that if we continue to create the vehicles as we have described them, then they are commercial vehicles, and therefore do not attract LCT.
How do I get one of these?
Contact us and we will put you in contact with your closest dealer.At KME we have a number of Toyota Dealers on board ready to produce these vehicles in association with fitting specialists we partner with. It is critical that you order through a dealer we have onboard, as it is the dealer who determines if they charge LCT. Some dealers aren't interested in the program, usually because they have a full order book, and it will not affect their sales. We do have dealers in every State and Territory across Australia.
How much does all this cost and what will I save?
The costs are relatively fixed ~ $15k for the basic fit out & ~ $22k for the premium. Savings depend on which model you plan on purchasing: somewhere between $5.5k and $22.5k.The long and the short of it is this: If you plan on upgrading your suspension and increasing your GVM, GCM and BTC, and want a set-up built out in the rear with toolboxes and drawers then it will cost you $9.5k on the expensive end and $0 on the cheaper end to complete this work through KME and our partners.
