Looking to get a new car...

[plowking]

How much are used BMW/Mercedez cars in Australia? Can't you get a nice E class or 5 series for 15-20k?

haha... hell no.

A used 130i is about $28k, and that has about 80,000km on it.

To put things in perspective, a new M3 is about $150k here, and about $50k there I think.

Wtf is going on in Australia.

My brother had a friend who got a used M6 with like 40k miles for under 50k. It sounded like a supercar with the its exhausts.

In that case importing might be worth it?

Nope. Swapping most cars over to right hand drive and the fees/taxes usually is never worth it.

If I wanted one of the current Mustangs that are $24k new over in America, it'd end up costing just about $70k after all fees and what not.

M6 has a V10 @ 500 something bhp.... it is a supercar... you can stack your entire Family inside in comfort and kill Lambos/Ferraris.... :P

I absolutely hate Commodores haha.

The sports versions are the typical Aussie bogan or "redneck" car as you guys call them. Saying that though, I really like the new 317 R8's they have. Very nice looking cars, but they cost a pretty penny and for that money I'd rather be getting something European.

funny how cars are perceived... The Camaro and Mustang have the same tag here, muscle cars for meatheads

[Demon Lizard]

It blows my mind that you guys in America have sub 5 second cars like the Mustang and Camaro going for $25k new... Lucky bastards.

Overrated and overpriced anyway.

I want the 4 door.

How much are the Toyato GT86/ Subaru BRZ in Australia, classic sports car even if they are a bit underpowered but nothing you can't fix with a mod or two. The new WRX is pretty nice too, and the new Miata is coming as well.

They aren't too bad. About $33k new. I'm not entirely interested in them. Mate has one, gave it a spin, and yeah, it is nice to drive, but too gutless for me.
