Default Bummer ...

"Usually vehicles for use on public roads in Australia are required to be Right Hand Drive (RHD). Contact your local State or Territory Registration Authority for information on acceptance of Left Hand Drive (LHD) vehicles. Addresses for State and Territory Registration Authorities can be found at the end of this bulletin." I don't suppose
NSW or ACT allows an exception to this. Sigh.

Audis are just SO expensive over there compared to here.

Thanks,

scot

"Audis are just SO expensive over there compared to here"

Yep they sure are.... part for our cars are just way over priced, but i guess it has something to do with demand......

Default There'd be more demand if the prices were lower!

I love my two Audis, but if we move there, I
can't justify buying even one. Ridiculous!

Default I will if/when I'm there!

Of course, even the Holden Monaro sells for ~$10K
cheaper here as the GTO than it does in its home
country....
