Before we go off blaming taxes and other avenues of "rort", here are a few numbers.
Average house price: (Usd, approx.) Australia $319,000 America $152,000 Sydney $574,000 Hawaii $425,000 So you can see, Australia is not just more expensive for automotive purchases... And Performax only do about 300 cars a year, so individual prices for Australian specific parts, labour, ADR testing/compliance, shipping is spread out over a very narrow margin... So taking into account the almost double average house price, that $38,000usd truck, suddenly becomes a $80,000aud truck, then add the conversion costs... there is you $120,000-odd RHD available truck...

The only reason I know so much about these things is I've got a 3 year subscription to Diesel Power Magazine and they won't stop going on about RAM 1500 now with diesel lol.
Oh and our Ranger and the 3.2L "Powerstroke" got a big spread a few months back lol. |
