Title: Cheap Power FC\'s
Post by: Tim Oldland on May 10, 2005, 05:27:11 PM
Just seen this on eBay USA:

eBay USA (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7971742310&category=33596&sspagename=WDVW)

Its an Apexi Power FC for around £165 inc P&P

I don\'t need the commander as a mate already has one.

What am i likely to be charged by our customs on that?

Hi Tim

Just a word of warning, make sure you are getting the right model for your car, there [as far as I know] are at least 3 types dependant on the year of your car. Is this 2nd hand? which would be another worry being as it is comming from the states.

It\'s not a power FC mate, its what it says on the tin, a boost control kit!

But if you still want it, customs will add on 10% plus their random handling charge, plus VAT.  If it is marked up for less than £100 inlcuding postage, then you won\'t have to pay anything :)

Mark.

Cool - guess i should\'ve looked at that better!

But there are places asking c.$550 for a Power FC for my car, which would mean it\'d be around £400 all in, which i beleive is still pretty cheap.

And yes, all the parts i\'m looking at are new.

Damn that credit card!
