Seeing as profiteering is when you make money using unethical means, I think this claim is slight over the top.

I'll keep an eye out on gold coast and see if I spot you. Won't be hard with that wing

Double the price as NZ when our dollar is considerably Stronger?? And you think the term profiteering is over the top?? I can't think of any other term to describe it.
Note I said TMCA. Nothing about dealers

profiteering has nothing to do with "using unethical means". It is simply making excessive profits on goods in short supply. This is more like market collusion.

Damned if they do. Damned if they don't. We do all remember how we felt when we saw the price point of $29,990, don't we?

At $43,000 with aero package the car is still amazing value. I'd rather it costs $3,000 on to for the option than the car be $1,500 more with $1,500 for the option.

Where would you rather live?? Sometimes we do pay a premium to live in Aus... I think it is worth it so I pay it.

That bit somewhat goes against your defence of the price of the aero kit....
because "ripping blind for the same shit", in your words, is what TMCA are doing with the aero kit.

@mikedsilva .... Sure... we pay a premium for some things, yes, but there is no reason to pay double for a bodykit.... You think it is worth paying double for?
