Question for jb4 owners

Just wondering how much you guys who have a jb4 and ordered it direct from the US paid for it?
Seems like the second hand ones are very expensive.

I've priced one up direct from Burger and it's $569 including postage which according to XE is £335
That's for the USB one aswell

Are people getting stung by customs charges? If so how much?

I paid what it costs plus postage plus VAT and import duties...cant remember exactly how much it all came up to but it does add up to a fair bit.

I ordered JB4 with DCI last week and paid £411 including postage at the checkout. It's just cleared Customs according to USPS online but I'm not sure if I'll be hit with a bill from them yet.

I got mine on a group buy on here from SwissCarParts. I believe it was about £400 all in. Unfortunately I believe they are no longer doing them.
If you can get one second hand for similar money, I would go for it as they very rarely come up for sale.
Customs could be 20%. Thats about another £70 on top of your price+ postage.... Luck of the draw weather you get stung or not. It seems to be happening more often than not these days though.
