Australian Z market

[TrevD66]

Australia is a great place to live however, the market here for Z3's is horrendous.
Currently, our M Roadsters on the market start at about $35000... higher mileage and well used.... and a 50000 mile example asking $69000. To convert that into £ it is about £36363.00

Today a 3 litre appeared and we don't see heaps of them listed, with 24500 km (approx 15200 miles) which we all know is very low but advertised at just shy of $37000. Again, to convert that £19500

https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2001-bmw-z3-e36-7-manual/OAG-AD-17412210/?Cr=5

The best bit is that we cannot even import them from either the UK or Japan unless we have owned them for longer than 12 months and lived in that location for the same period.

Sorry, my rant for tonight.........

Unless you were emigrating from the UK, you'd not get them in.
It's like a captive market and as there in no competition "stealers" and private sellers ask what they like for them.

Which is all right if you happen to have a couple of nice zeds in the garage not so good sounding if your looking to purchase one .

My ex-pat son shipped his Z4M Coupé to NSW recently. He also has an Audi RS4 Avant here that he'd like to have in Australia but because of the restrictions he cannot take it for a long time, if at all. On the plus side his Z4MC has risen in value somewhat.
