They have international buying power thanks to the Walmart tie in. If its a Rand a unit cheaper to buy it in Outer Mongolia and ship it here rather than use the local distributor, they will do that.

bertusras Posted September 13, 2018 Share Year models will also be interesting. That's what I'm wondering. Perhaps they managed to secure a ton of old stock for next to nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongDonkey Posted September 13, 2018 Share But even if it is a direct Rand Dollar exchange rate, how do they get past import duties. Has the Real Trump been getting into RSA biking as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
