I remember when the media were quoting "experts" saying that once cars were no longer made in Australia, new car prices would go down. Not sure where they got that from, because without local cars, there is no reference point to where every imported car was grounded against.$A is absolute rubbish right now. That has to be a factor of this pricing. Bad time to be buying an import. Ford knows they can sell everything they get so they don't care how much pain they inflict.
AUDUSD is basically near enough to the lowest its been in 2 decades outside the black swan events of GFC and Pandemic . If we actually still had a car industry it would be fully kicking ass at these exchange rates .$A is absolute rubbish right now. That has to be a factor of this pricing.

Indeed, and did we explore the obvious path of importing good quality late model cars from Japan en masse as the Kiwis have been doing for ever? Noooooo not on your or every remaining dealer brand's nelly we didn't, that one was stitched up by big money toot sweet.I remember when the media were quoting "experts" saying that once cars were no longer made in Australia, new car prices would go down.

I already have a supercharged Coyote in my garage, so not really worth doing. Frankly, I prefer the naturally aspirated sound anyway.I'm backing that folks with an S550 who were intending to 'upgrade' to the S650 instead splash for blowers and supporting mods for their current cars in the next 12 months or so while saving coin, burning off S650s at every opportunity, and not getting bagged out for ipad screens.
2012+ W204 C63 AMGFor me, I feel like it's time for something new,
I have used Porsche Boxter/Cayman, Supra, Jaguar F-Type and BMW M2 on my consideration list. Supra and M2 don't quite do it for me, and all bar Supra mean shopping used. I'm not interested in buying someone else's toy, I've been there in the past, in effect dealing with differed maintenance from the previous owners. To get the car I want above, it means buying cars older than what I have now.2012+ W204 C63 AMG
Let me know how the bruise on the side of your head is after the first time you get in. I was at GFOS when the Supra was released and thought I'd give it a go at the Toyota stand. I'd been in and out of various 911s about 10 times, no problem. Supra = whack.Supra
In regard to the F-Type, I would only be able to afford the V6, but the V8 is the one I want
I'm very lucky to have no debt at the moment, I have no children to spend money on, I don't go on holidays, don't drink, don't smoke, don't go out. I work my face off, and to be frank, this bloody car is what has kept me at least somewhat motivated over the last 12+ months. So, what else do I spend money on?
If you going to have 2 jags one has to be a 423kw SVR Fpace , for trips to the airport/shopping , even if it's only one jag this is what i'd get , a true daily driver . One day it will be minePS who needs 2 Jaaaaaags Clarkson would think you were unsufferable.
