Porky Pie for me... DB9 is beautiful but they seem to be everywhere in Sydney at the moment.

Too boring?

How much would a V8 Vantage be worth. Not hugely fast, but the sound....and the looks..... drool.

always been a fan of M3's but 2nd hand they aint much more expensive here in australia, RS4 is abit dull, but i totally forgot about that c63, it sounds horn, did abit of reading though does the c63 come with LSD i've read reports of no. The c63 very sexy car http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classifi...ge/1?logcode=p

i hear they have a terrible gear box and the car isn't the most reliable!

When you do have it here remember it is a private import so it will be worth significantly less that one sold new here.

e.g.

Lexus vs Soarer
200SX vs Sylvia
etc.

Last and most important point, these cars are exotic in this country and you can't buy parts at repco and have them fitted at ultratune. Check with your local Ferarri/Aston/Porsche specialist mechanics how much it will cost to work on them and even if they are interested in working on them. The last thing you need is a broken car that no one wants to touch or buy because no one wants to work on it.

Look at carsales & ebay and offer cash. There are a lot of people hurting right now and you can save a fortune.

thanks for those questions ask, i need to consider everything, right now im just toying with the idea and dreaming, its still 6months away before i leave and the pound needs to stay weak!

extra time on holiday, small cost, i will be basing my self with family over there and able to work with them if needed!


ive estimated roughly 25kaus to bring the car back and on the road. (need to look into it more)

Yeh your spot on, i like the 360 but im positive ferarri will be like hemi 3x the price of everything else.
yeh i understand selling it would be alot less since private import, but i can see 2 things happening, eg c63 over here for 70-75k aus roughly i would be happy to sell it for 100k where all the others are worth 150k, but the more likely senario i would want keep it for ever as i know i would not own a car like it again
