So in the absence of a suitable choice in the poll, my answer is no but it is not a firm no, I could be swayed under the right conditions.

I think this hypothetical is taking the elements of the other discussion too far.
Yes I am trying to make it the equivalent of the online overseas shopping thread.
You can import electrical gizmos that do not comply with any Australian safety standards and have no warranty so I just changed it to cars.

The warranty is from the importer and as you are the importer then the warranty is your problem. This is part of the way you save money. You can always send it back to get sorted
