Blinking flip - not sure on the $ to £ exchange - but they all seem expensive.

yes! well, I also saw a 16 valve on the road with a sign in it the other day with $7,800 asking adn there's a 19 TZi auto around the corner which he's been trying to sell and the asking proce for that has been somewhere near $8,000, as I remember.

The $A dollar buys around 41P at present, I think

So at about $610 ASD my BX must appear very very cheap. How bizarre.

Very cheap, these cars are going off the road in increasing numbers too.

Diesels were not imported to Australia although there may be a few private imports only, so I'd imagine there would be a premium on top for a diesel!

These cars are fairly rare in Australia which may account for the difference in values to some extent and the road & weather conditions here generally helps longevity in cars. The other point is that only the more up-market cars were imported, but, still??

I wonder what the situation is like in elsewhere. Anyone know? The Dutch seem keen, in particular, so what is happening there?
