Re: Expensive cars
It's a diesel 100 series 'Cruiser... the outback tourer of choice for all the nomads... check out carsales.com.au and I think you'll find a whole bunch of 2004-2006 models at over $50k... they're worth whatever anyone will pay...

Re: Expensive cars
or.....
I buy a new Toyota in the UK and when I come to sell it, some years later, I get the price of a couple of Mars bars and a can of coke for it.
You tell me which one is the "joke"

Re: Expensive cars
So I buy a new Toyota in Australia and when I come to sell it, some years later, I still get a decent resale price.

Re: Expensive cars
or you buy a reasonably priced second hand car in the UK... and when you come to sell it it's worthless.
or you buy a very high priced second hand car in australia... and when you come to sell it you get a decent return.

Re: Expensive cars
Certainly not at a car dealership.
Honda wanted to halve the price of our Sedan, when we tried to trade it in, it was only 18 months old.
On cars 10 years or over, most aussie dealers will only offer you the bog standard $2000 trade in.
You have to find that private buyer who has more cash than brains I guess

Re: Expensive cars
People buy Landcruisers in the UK so they look good attending a point-to-point meeting. A second-hand one doesn't cut the mustard so the demand for used ones is low and so is the price.
People buy Landcruisers in Australia because they are necessary to access large parts of the country, spare parts are available everywhere, and they have a proven reliability record. Second-hand ones are in great demand and the prices are correspondingly high.

It further protects him from impact jolts when they bash into other cars whilst parking.
I'll invent a statistic thats probably not too far off the mark: 90% of 'off road' vehicles in Australia have never left the main cities or highways.
