used 135 market down under
greetings my fellow down under 1 addicts, I was wondering how is the market for used 135's where you are. the reason I am asking is because I am considering selling my car and if the market is strong for used 135's where you are I would be happy to ship to Australia. I would appreciate your thoughts. cheers,
kori

My thoughts are:
1. Only Americans say "Down Under" 2. Your car is Left Hand Drive. Australia is Right Hand Drive. 3. Australian motor vehicle industry has heavy tarriffs on importation of motor vehicles

I didn't notice you were selling your car. so that is a huge difference in price. my car would sell for less than half of what your car sells here. shame you guys are right hand drive

I hope median income is high as well otherwise how can people afford to buy these cars. Can't imagine how much Porsche, Ferrari and other premium brands sell for

I just choked seeing those numbers. I hear you about the possible difference in age but you still need a lot of dough to ride one those rides. Guessing there are a lot of wealthy Aussies that can afford to pay those premiums. The VW's were not as highly marked up as the others. Maybe $10k but the rest were like 3X

That's it. But it's not like the USA with a lot of population spread throughout. The vast majority of people are in the AEST timezone on the Eastern Coast.
Australian population: 22.8 million Perth population: 2.3 (10%)

there's at least 1 Zonda (which seems to be perpetually for sale)
and at least 1 Veyron (in South Australia, though they can't be road registered here) |
