John: Hello, I'm John Bakker from Victorian American Imports, American Automotive Australia. I just wanted to talk to you a few minutes about some of the things that are happening in our industry and in particular, overseas conversions. A few companies [inaudible 00:00:21] have taken all this sort of work offshore, like a lot of industry in Australia now. But some of the things you might want to be aware of if you're considering buying these cars and considering purchasing one that's done overseas is a few things in particular.
One is, most of them want you to pay upfront, therefore they want you to send the money to the U.S. first to purchase the vehicle, then you send money for the conversions to another country where it could be the Philippines or [inaudible 00:00:50] or Thailand but anyway, so many goes to the U.S., so many goes to somewhere else for the conversion. So, that's scary in itself and the fact that they're not protected by Australian laws in where your money goes. It's a bit like buying anything overseas or online. It's just buyer beware and bad luck if your product doesn't turn up or it's not right.
Secondly, what appeared to be cheap but then at the end of the day when the time the product gets here, if there's issues with it, which you know with a highly modified vehicle and the amount of work that's done in making these vehicles right hand drive, fair chance that things like -- small things can go wrong, where do you take it to fix it, what warranty do you have, where does the warranty lie, all these questions seem to be sort of brushed over when it comes to sending your money overseas for a vehicle and conversion.
You're not protected by the Australian government laws and so forth in relation to all of that. So, what appears to be cheap in one end doesn't only work out that way. Secondly, resale, I've always sort of told people of the opinion that you get the paper now or later, and they ask me why is that and you sort of say, well you ought to pay a little extra now and you come and see what we do, how we do it, you can comment on it or talk to our customers or our workers. Everything is transparent, there's absolutely nothing to hide. There's procedures in place. We're governed by independent auditing to make sure that everything's done to a standard. There's a recall process. There's a process to follow on who's done what job with what part, all of that is controlled by an independent so therefore there's an assurance there that we eliminate any sort of issues or with recent issues, there's a recall process and we're responsible for it.
