Yeah Australia is not a good place for luxury car purchases. Get a good old UTE and the Sheila's will love you.

The best car prices in the Western world would probably be the USA followed by NZ.

In oz, I will stay away from the ex rental & fleet cars. They are well used and sometimes poorly maintained.

There is still this archaic Luxury Car tax in oz, so why buy luxury. Just changing the tyres cost twice as much as US, before labour charge!

Oz is now holding the world recod in unbroken run of economic growth. The question is, how did the socialists mange that feat? Sep election will be another lesson for oz!

Everything is expensive in Aussie.

If a Year 10 plumbing apprentice can be fasttracked into his trade earning $120,000 a year, when a pharmacist fresh uni graduate earns $50,000 a year, you know that something is wrong.

The tax was re introduced by labour to get more money from the rich. To b honest only thr rich can afford to buy luxury cars n better to tax the luxury cars more than burden the middle classes with more income tax gst n wat not.

For the ex rentals depends on which 1 u choose n got full warranty is quite ok lah. For ex gahmen vehicles. Dont get those from regional areas. Those sure high milage ones.

The problem with oz is too much given to trades n senior executives n civil serpents. Public sector is huge in oz. Tat y the middle classes n working poor get shafted even more due to these rent seeking sectors of the economy. N growth now slowing down due to china etc. Mining sector is shrinking now in wa. So times r getting harder.

Mining is not shrinking as much because project managers who were throwing money to meet project deadlines are now in deep troube, but the new investments are dropping off sharply. I have been planning over the post mining boom for quite some time now. But Aussies have taken the boom to be norm, thanks to the "entitlement" mentality. These days, you see a lot of people in denial. There are also the "old birds" who have been through the bust cycle before.

This is life in quarry WA. Gina Rinehart lost $7bil in the past year, the next richest Aussie after her, Frank Lowy is not even worth $7bil. Politics in OZ is so predictable. AS the adjustment to the post-boom will take years, we will be looking at certain known behaviours such as low interest rates, painful cost cutting, etc

In a way, this will be good because the crazy times are over, and we are in fact returning to normal. No more partying. No more rental yield >5.5%. But no one will dare to touch negative gearing tax rort because the property bubble burst will turn the economy into a Great Australian Recession!!

Demand and supply signals not being picked by job seekers.
