What a load of shit!

How does the US dollar effect the price of cars that are already in the country?

Actually how does it effect the price of cars coming from Japan either?

If anything, a strong $AU makes things cheaper from overseas.

Back on topic :)

I felt I got a reasonable price and a pretty quick sale.

It results in pushing the current ASP's (Average selling price) down on anything imported.

Its killing the technoligy industry at the moment as grey imports are 1/2 the price of the retail stores.

Which may sound good now, but wholesalers will compensate by jacking up profit margins now and once the dollar drops again the ASP's will rise again to higher prices that before the wave started. In short its good right now, but will be bad round xmas time when most people spend a packet. My advice shop for xmas now...

IE. 50" High def plazma from Sony (Bravia X series) in China $2200AUD, in Australia $4800AUD (quoting cheapest prices seen).

Even if you pay through the teeth on shipping its still going to be a grand less than is sells for in Australia.

Thats the problem with a astong dollar... :)

Stronger $AU means cheaper importation which means cheaper prices on resale from both the However, the primary problem with import resale is basic supply and demand.

Its always about supply and demand, everything in this world is about supply and demand... :)

yeah,I suppose that makes sense,

sorry COL!!!

You better be, no one understands world economic pressures on the depressed seal cubs in antartica like me :)

Yeah it was suprisingly quick.

I thought that thing would be harder to shake than herpes.

Talk to COL-GTSX he's looking to sell and it is an immaculate car.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      Photo quality is terrible, but there's a few things on that board that give me suspicions it has some issues. Add to that, I'm hoping the cut and exposed wires under the dash were not exposed or touching each other before you pulled that all apart.

      Stories like this are why the immobilizer installs I've done are 100% reversible. No harness cuts.

      Help! Leak coming under transmission

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Lots of people. Could be a lot of things like people have said. Either the heater hose/pipe, the turbo coolant return that wraps around the back of the engine, or a core plug. I have seen all three. If you want me to guess wildly though I would bet it's one of those hoses for the turbo coolant return. Or the brazing/welding for the Y- section has failed. Get a borescope down there to be 100% sure.
