Bargain!

This isn't a joke by the way

That's nearly £30,000. Aussie used car prices are insane compared with the UK. I wonder if they'll sell at anywhere near that price?

Get your car up for sale quick Scuderia, and undercut him by $10,000.

You never know...

I'm off to check shipping prices for a coop to Oz just in case it sells.

Is that a realistic price?

Oz still have foreign car import tax don't they?

5 stud wheels in some of the photos??

Love that colour............ granted not $47k much though!

Aussies pay goods and services tax, stamp duty, and then an additional 33%(!) "luxury car tax" on anything valued at over AUD55,000.

THIS article makes for some sad reading for Aussies!

It's one of the only reasons why I'm glad I don't live in Australia anymore

No, probably just cover plates over the nuts as on my momo wheels.

$47000?? I might break even if I sold my Plus for that

Anything for another gratuitous shot of your spotless car again Pete, I get it

Nice car that.

Beat me to it fella,

I have actually blown 30k in 4 years on my car.This does include buying it though.

Its not a realistic price IMO. There have been Coupes advertised in the 30s and they never sell. There was a very low mileage moony plus advertised for $24K and that sold pretty quick.

The prices are high because there are strict restrictions on importing cars. The localy sold cars are not all that more expensive. $47k would buy 2 new small cars easily.

Hmm what is the average base salary in Aus? Comparable to our say 20k a year basic

Average salary is about $55,000 - $60,000 I think, which is a fair bit higher than the UK. Cost of living is quite expensive in Aus though. Houses are about the most expensive in the world, for example.

Unless its changed in the last 5 years then i found the cost of living was much cheaper out of the cities,and the house prices were very cheap in comparison.

I saw this car a few years back, and it is certainly a beautiful example of our favourite car.

I think, but I may be wrong, it is owned by a guy who imported a few coupes into Australia from New Zealand a number of years ago. Most of these Coupes went to Sydney, including, Scuderia, Ian's red 20vt.

Re cost of living, a litre of 98 RON is around A$1.65 per litre.

Boosted7, just because you lived in upmarket Brisbane suburb of St Lucia where houses are a bit higher, one can purchase a reasonable house for $500,000 to $600,000 in a few good areas, even less if you choose to live in the outer suburbs.

But then we do have some great weather, apart from the floods and cyclones every few years.
