The salesman seems to have added the delivery cost and rego caot as seperate items...ie: Dealer charges = 1534.50Stamp duty = 1125.00rego = 676 (including green slip for NSW).TOTAL = $3335.50The total is added to the retail price of the car..Does this sound right or are they riping me off???

You should be able to get the hardcover a bit cheaper than that. I got mine for under $1600. Stick with the Ford one. I bought an aftermarket one only to change to a Ford one 6 months later. Alot hapier with the Ford one.
