I've been speaking with Menere's in Melbourne, and they are quoting $2500 dollars as MAX discount (they're being stingy because it's new model time so they can) otherwise you will see around $5000 when demand starts to slow.

Re Perth prices, I was in Perth and saved $10k by buying in Melbourne, then the freight to Perth was $1100, although Auto Classic don't like it.

In Perth, you got the 'I'll take you for a drive' kind of experience, got to drive it yourself for a few minutes then straight to the 'sit down' where the sales rep sits on the higher chair like some kind of bank manager and starts tallying up the options price expecting a deposit, whereas in Melbourne I handed over my licence and was told to bring the vehicle back when I was ready. Bought a few there since then....

PS. I just today bought a work vehicle for $42k that had stamp duty in WA of $2980 and Vic only $810.....
