i treated myself today....

Take it to your local mechanic. If he's worth his salt he'll call in specialists when he needs assistance. My local guy does this, and is still significantly cheaper than the local dealerships.

Getting rid of yours?

No, I'll admit I was a bit tempted though. Current car is a VZ SV6, 80k on the clock, nothing wrong with it at all. Should last a long time yet.

Having just come back from the US I see we are still quite hard done by with Euros
Entry level new E class Benz 140 in AUD or < 50 k in USD
Porsche Boxter 100 k + AUD or < 50 in USD

And some people think our dollar is worth more

When I grow up I want a nice piece of arss like this.
I think it will be on the wish list for a long long time...

It's pretty amazing.
I remember wondering in the dealers looking at them and S series mercs new at >250K with my jaw on the floor thinking I'd probly never own anything like that.
Now you can take away the first "2" in the number for a 5-6 yr ole with not that many Ks.
Now back to reality... long weekend party time.

Hee hee. I have a VY Berlina V8 owned from new, and it's about to be 7 years old with only 90000 km on the clock. I hardly use it anymore, so figure I'll have it for some years yet. There's nothing wrong with it at all.

Its amazing how cheap a newish BMW you can get these days. That shape is very classy and 15 K is cheap with only 100K on the clock.

Well done.

One thing i am worried about - this car belonged to an embassy from a country in the midddle east that is in the news a lot. I just hope our good friends at A*S*I*O (and the spies from other embassies) know that this embassy has offloaded their cars. I'd hate to be followed by some spies or something like that and have my movements recorded.

Why? Planning on going "parking" to "christen" the new leather seats, eh?
