Expensive cars

Re: Expensive cars
If you don't want to pay the price for a car here, get the bus. Then you can go from moaning about the price to how you're always late.

VW seems to be more expensive in UK
our Tiguan A$33k - UK£26,130.00 = $38228
your right there is no Australian car just American cars , built by Australians (?)
for American managers.

Yeah. VW is waaaay cheaper in Oz from the look of it. Iv always disliked them as they are waaaaaay over priced in the UK.

Re: Expensive cars
I've always found cars quite expensive in Oz. But what I really can't stand is the stamp duty and tax (2.5%?) that you have to pay the RTA just for putting the car into your own name. (that may be just a NSW thing, I'm not sure).
Talking of Toyota Landcrusiers, years ago ( circa 92,93 or something) there was an ad that implied that the Snowy Mountains Hyrdo scheme was 'built' on the back of the Toyota Landcrusier. They were taken to court by Land Rover (or threatened with such action) as it turned out that on the scheme there were many more Land Rovers than Land Cruisers.
I'm a hatchback guy anyway, so didn't bother me either way. Made me smile though. Man that seems like a long time ago

Re: Expensive cars
Yes certainly for many cars it is definitely no dearer here. A much smaller choice because of the size of the market of course. Luxury cars seem to be much more here.
