Factory Options

Factory options are those options that are fitted at the factory as part of the
manufacturing process. There are two factory options of particular interest:

1. Safety Pack. Not all models have a Safety Pack as an option, but many have
   them (or similar). Safety is becoming a more important consideration for car
   buyers and you will have an easier time selling the car if it has "safety
   features" when it is time to up date in the future.
2. Sunroof. There have been many bad experiences (i.e. leaking water) with
   aftermarket (or dealer fitted) sunroofs. If you want a sunroof, you're well
   advised to make sure it's factory fitted.

Dealer Options

Dealer options include such things as tow bars, headlight protectors, bonnet protector, and mud spats. Basically, it is an item that is best fitted by the dealer since
in many cases it will avoid any warranty issues if there are problems down the track. (e.g. Was the damage caused by the way the towbar was fitted, or by the way the
car was designed?)

Aftermarket Options

Aftermarket options are those sold by "the aftermarket lady" in dealerships. We can arrange paint protection, rust protection, and fabric protection to be included in
the total on road price. Other items include mats, window tinting, and car phone kits. Whilst there are good reasons to have "dealer options" fitted by the dealer, you
should request these items to be included in the total on road price The Car Broker arranges for you.

Having the aftermarket options done after delivery. Any aftermarket option you specify from the dealer will be subject to stamp duty. The stamp duty varies
depending on what state you're in, but generally ranges between 2% and 5%. In addition, if your car is subject to luxury car tax, all accessories will attract an
additional charge of 30% of the price (above the LCT limit). Window tinting is highly recommended because it:

• Protects the interior from UV light.
• Keeps the car cooler.
• Reduces running costs (less need for air conditioning because of the lower temperature in the vehicle).
• Enhances the appearance of the car.

Some people specify "darker than legal" tinting. while this may look good, you need to remember that it is illegal, and police may issue you an unroadworthiness
certificate, forcing you to remove it. Also, darker than legal tinting is very obtrusive at night time. It may also affect any insurance claims you make. We strongly
recommend that you do not choose darker than legal window tinting.

Fabric protection does work. It provides a very resistant protection for the interior.

Alloy Wheels / Special Tyres

Please note that fitting non-standard rims and or tyres can lead to unexpected problems it is recommended the you always stay with the factory speciation for
wheels and tyres. Fitting a wheel or tyre with a non-standard profile will give inaccurate speedo readings. Not only will your current speed be wrong, but so will your overall mileage.
