Fair choice. Wait times for most 300 models have come down a fair bit, so hopefully it's nothing like the 12mo he was quoted.
A few teething issues with the 300, like any new vehicle, but overall looking pretty good so far in. Haven't seen any engines give up yet - just a few DPF injector issues, squeaky brakes, turbo flutter, and they like to drink oil.
You're talking a GVM upgrade, not just new shocks and springs? Pre-registration GVM upgrade means that it applies nationally. If it's done post-rego then it only applies to the state its first registered in and, if next sold to a buyer in a different state, would have to be re-assessed for compliance for a few grand. There was a time where pushing it to >3999kg GVM meant that it was exempt from LCT, but I believe that loophole has been closed...
