Cars you will/ did buy?
when you got to Australia or when you get to Australia are you buying a more exspensive car than you had at home of are you spendin the same?
If your spending more is this because yourve sold your house and have money burning a whole in your pockets?

Re: Cars you will/ did buy?
We spent the money we sold our 2 cars for in England on 1 car here. We bought a medium sized 4x4 which has proved too small for the activities we undertake here. We will be replacing towards the end of the year.

Personally, I can't wait to get my hands on the wheel of some 6.0 L beast of a motor and start doing donuts around Bris!!

Re: Cars you will/ did buy?
If your thinking of spending your house sale money on a car... check out the house prices first! Here in Perth, you'll need that cash! www.reiwa.com
People here don't have the need for a status symbol as they appear to have in the UK (my opinion). You see amazing houses here with 'normal' cars parked out side, the same style/cost of property in the UK would have a Bentley and Range Rover at the very least!
We bought a Mazda Premecy (boring but practical) and I have a small Toyota Echo (Yaris in the UK), to commute to work... 600km's on 1 tank of fuel.
Getting a company car soon.... Yay!!
I would like a 4x4 to get off the main tracks. Went down to Margaret River last year and a mate took me to some amazing beaches which were only accessible by 4X4. made me want to come back to Perth and but one!

Re: Cars you will/ did buy?
We sold my 1 year old Saturn Relay (retail value of about 45k CDN) when we left Canada. I bought a brand new Holden Barina here for 11k. I love that $30 petrol lasts me nearly 2 weeks instead of $100 fill up weekly. I drive twice as far now, too.
