Yes, it definately is a very very rare car here. so much so, that even i have not seen another 1 yet.

car is very clean, bought it from a doctor with only 20 000km (think its about 12 000miles) and its a 2010 model

the problem with it being such a rare car, is that i cannot get any aftermarket accessories here for the F.

After seeing you guys cars and all the mods, it makes me very sad that i cannot even get the front lip, side skirts and rear diffuser here.

i looked at importing it but the prices are extremely high especially when you convert Rands to Dollars

but nevertheless, its an awesome car

Congrats man!

The F's are rare here in the states, I wouldn't imagine you'll be seeing another one near you anytime soon.

Wow!! My buddy moved from the States to South Africa and was telling me how expensive things are there, and how bad the crime is.

I hope you are packing a pistol or two...be safe.

The crime is not that bad compared to the rest of the stats that available for the rest of the word, its alot of media hype and propaganda.

Its a beautiful country which has summer all year round.

No visible gang movements, no drive by shootings, no earthquakes, no hurricanes. The biggest issue is our politiicians.

I cant believe he is complaining that things are expensive, seeing that he is coming with dollars with a 1 to 10 conversion.

after seeing the prices of accessories there, im shocked that they are so expensive.

For example, the genuine lexon lip is $1000, that R10 000 in my currency. to put it into perspective, thats my fuel bill for almost 4-5 months (pre ISF). Thats my electricity bill for nearly 5 months, lol

what is your buddy doing here, where is he based?

This has got me thinking about the prices, can we do a quick comparison.

I can get REPLICA Vossen CV3 20inch for $1300
I can get REPLICA Rezax II 20inch for $1500
I can get GENUINE Rezax II 20 inch for around $3600

Set of 4

How much would it be in the states?

20pack of cigarretes : $3.1
6pack of beer : $ 5

He moved there to do some IT work and ended up meeting a local and falling in love...I believe he is near somewhere named "Brackenfell"?
