While test driving the Ford Falcon EcoBoost asked the young lass in the car why the big price difference between Queensland and other States. According to her it was the fact that they had to be transported here, and the registration costs in Queensland etc.

To be frank, I can see how that would amount to anywhere near a $5,000 difference. For example, I've found quotes for transporting a car from Melbourne to Brisbane which are only about $660.

She went on to say that the boss had to let some deals go because he couldn't match what dealers in Victoria were willing to take for a comparable vehicle.
