I don't think the H2 RHD conversion would be anymore than what you put into your AV...
Only the extra cost of the H2 over the AV, would shouldn't be more that $30,000 AU dollars...
Remember, the H2 is on the Suburban frame, in otherwords the AV frame....with minor adjustments...
You could always wait until the H2 SUT

Ok let me give you an idea of how the costs might play out....
According to the Hummer web site the MSRP of a fully loaded H1 station wagon is..
USD$116,483 - vehicle cost
add
USD$3500 - freight
Total getting to Australia - USD$119,983.00 = AUD$173,933.84
OK so now it is here and we are talking prices in local currency.
add Luxury Car Tax (a 25% tax on any car imported that costs more than $55,135.00) - $29,995.75
add RH dive conversion fee - $20,000.00
add Goods & Services Tax (10%) - $22,392.95
Total - $246,322.55 So now whe have it imported, converted and all taxes paid to the Federal Government.
Ahhh but you want to drive it, well then...
add State Govt Stamp duty for initial regiatration (15% of vehicle blue book) - $36,948.38
add insurance (per year) - $2,000.00
and you can drive it out the door for $285,270.93... ohh wait, you actually can't drive it out the door because you haven't put any fuel in it yet.
So I'm hoping the H2 is a lot cheaper than a H1... now maybe you can see why an avalanche in Australia will cost you $110K.
