Could someone look at my figures and thinking and tear it apart and tell me where I'm going wrong JSW & Dazzer I know have had experience I would appreciate their comments.
As some of you know I've been looking around with a view to upgrading the RV
Top of my list at the moment is a Monaco LaPalma XL Diesel pusher;
UK price £132k (bit to rich for me)
Quote recieved from USA dealer today for fully loaded same Rv 2008 spec;
here http://www.rvdeals.net/7655/
$118k offered $36k discount without hardly haggling
My Calculation
$118000 - 00 @ .49050 reuters today = £57879 - 00
Vat @17.5% = £10129 - 00
Import duty @ 10 % = £ 5789 - 00
Shipping = £ 3000 - 00
Conversion to UK spec = £ 5000 - 00
Unknowns reg/odds & sods = £ 2000 - 00
Total = £83797 - 00
Potential Saving = £48203 - 00
Is this correct because even if I'm £8k adrift it's still a £40k saving or have I missed something obvious that I just can't see.
