Inspiration Vision list prices

jaksel · 6th January 2009, 20:35

Hi all
Since I am considering buying a used Inspiration Vision from RBW, I am trying to find list prices for AP's units (i.e. new units, from the factory) that I can compare with. But I cannot find any! Can anyone please help?

I think they still go for $9995 US plus a bit if you want trimix software.

Just get a quote from AP.
They always quote in UKP.

Thats a hell of a lot of postage and packaging (shipping) must be a lot of fingers in the pie between Cornwall and your Scuba outlet

So pardon my international shipping ignorance...but would it then be worthwhile to buy a unit from the UK and have it shipped to the US or am I missing something?

thx

I dont know whether the UK prices quoted are ex-VAT, but you may also have to add on us import duties and state taxes to compare favourably, As AP obviously have no influence over those.

If however a Vision was really a LOT more expensive in the US than the UK it would make a change as normally UK people are the ones getting shafted on prices compared to our US cousins

If buying from Europe as the OP is, it might actually make sense to come to the UK, buy it then take it home "used" if there is a big difference. It is only 2330km in the car each way...:D

This sounds like an easy way to save money and because of that....it is most likely not. So yes, added charges, etc prolly make it about the same.
