The R35 was viewed this way when it came out because it was so far ahead of its time… the R32-34 was no different in the 1990’s with the affordable and cutting edge tech it wielded. An R35 today is both as raw and soulful as one can get in a car thesedays, especially if you are lucky enough to own a CBA (2008-2010) they feel like a race car with plates While everything went crazy on price during Covid the R35 stayed a relative performance bargain… now they are discontinued due to ADR85/00 it’s a totally different story. What is crazy expensive tho is the Miami stuff… I just bought a used GS Ute Holy Moley they are pricey now ![]() |

I sound like an old bastard though, yelling at the clouds complaining something along the lines of BACK IN MY DAY REAL MEN WITH THEIR REAL CARS ONLY HAD HICAS LOCKOUT BARS AND A MANUAL GEARBOX! NONE OF THIS DSG AND ELECTRONICS Then someone else comes along: BACK IN MY DAY REAL MEN WITH THEIR REAL CARS ONLY HAD 460+ CUBIC INCHES, 4 GEARS AND CARBS! NONE OF THIS TURBOS AND FUEL INJECTION Hopefully I'm dead and buried long before I start having this conversation about real men having electric vehicles that sound like Melbourne trams and drive themselves ![]() |

I find it interesting that Car buyers are paying electric optioned up car prices for Aussie built ICE vehicles.
Does this show the REAL, rather than perceived interest in the EV in Aust.

EV's are being rammed down our throats world-wide. The market is not left to decide as it should. Governments are changing laws so EV's can get the foothold they need. They know they need the cars to penetrate the market then they follow with the investment in infrastructure. We'll look back one day and realise how cunning this all was. All the while, they keep silent on the environmental impact EV's cause, focussed purely on carbon emissions from exhaust pipes alone. Nevermind the 100,000km you need to drive an EV just to make up for the carbon footprint in developing the battery, or the quarter million tonnes worth of mining to produce said-battery. That's all irrelevant to the greenies apparently. What about battery disposal? Maybe we just ignore the problem, like the disposal of wind turbines, out of site out of mind. Yet the same mob will jump up and down about why we should never go nuclear because there's a waste problem to deal with.... I think I'll stop there....

Not to mention why the hell are we not being informed on the latest in Nuclear Power Stations advancements ! We live in a retard world that people still think Nuclear Power Stations are 1960's tec that's backward rubbish like driving a T model Ford around today. The advancements in Nuclear Power Stations has advances way beyond what 99% of Australians know of and you have been hidden from the facts about it all and are being fed like mushrooms. The latest Nuclear Power Stations run on Spent fuel ! that's right, the old toxic wast is what they use for crying out loud ! and we have enough of that to power the world for 150 years without digging any yellowcake out of the ground at all. Not to mention when they have finished with that fuel it is only toxic for 150 years. not thousands of years ! Now where are the Greenies ! No, they are water melons, Green on the outside and Red on the inside. nothing but moronic stooges. Look up Gen 3 and Gen 4 Power Stations. China has them, Japan and France for years. The USA has only T model Ford tec Nuclear crap, that's all 99 of them ! Why ! I am totally against that old tec rubbish, it's far to dangerous. |

I've been trying to buy a falcon ute, au or ba, preferably trayback and no LPG, for a reasonable price.
I have decided instead to buy a trailer. There's no way some of these cars are selling, it seems mainly Victoria too, prices are a lot more reasonable interstate. Just another way in which Victoria endlessly sucks. |

I sold a RWC BF1 LPG Ute with a tub, average to fair clean condition, 275000km, for $5800 in 4 days. 3 people looked, 2 said the body was a little too average for them but the 3rd was a panel beater. They are selling. I also got $25k for an EL XR6 recently ![]() Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I just don't get it - wouldn't you get more if you detailed this up prior to sale? Does the whole "barn find" bull**** still work on cars less than 20 years old?

Mate just bought a 70km FG2 F6 for $74k.
A friend of a friend bought one in the last 2 weeks for $85k - white mk2 ZF FG2 F6. People think they ain't selling. They definitely are. |

I look at my fleet and there is no way I’d pay what I would get for them now. I sold my FGXR6T immaculate for 20k almost 5 years ago now. I now have a G6ET in the same condition and same year and been offered 35k, it’s mental. For me, if I was dropping 80k on a car, it’d be a mustang. I do not see cars as investments though. Rego, upkeep, insurance, the stress of owning a car increasing in value, worrying about driving it anywhere etc etc. I have much easier less stressful ways to make money. I sold my old LS3 VE Clubsport for 32, 4 years ago. It was immaculate. It’s sold twice since, once for 55 and last week for 85. Some people have way too much money. It’s a crazy world right now, I’ll just keep enjoying the cars I have because if I sold them, I wouldn’t be buying anything like them again. Surely this can’t continue

Looks like front right tyre flat too, so probably 4x tyres as expect them flat spotted, also all my rotors were rusted/pitted/seizing, calipers needed a rebuild and so on. All aluminium/alloy on the engine, under bonnet will have corrosion buildup and look damn ugly forever too. Last edited by oldel; 28-02-2022 at 01:16 AM. |

A mate has a VF2 SSV sportswagon, purchased new with a Holden staff discount (his dad did 25 years there). He knows he can sell for a big profit from what he paid for it new, but as he said, there's no longer an equivalent new replacement, save spending $150-200K plus on an AMG or M series, so what would he replace it with? Hence the decision to keep it. And most likely the reason why these are going for silly money.

Have you considered that it's $100,000 that is not $100,000 any more (inflation - the tax one man in a million understands) I do like the Jags - F-Pace for Terry, XE is handy, spend less than 130K try to get a really nice XJ with that interior...

Yes. I think that's the real interest (in the Aussie cars; ergo, the prices) by the people who have the means now, who realise it will be very hard to replace what was lost. For electric, I'm still waiting for them to become affordable runarounds. Got an electric lawnmower today - coughed up for the one with the battery as the one without is in supply nowhere land and no idea where in the aether it is, or when it will arrive (we already have a similar battery/charger on the whippa snippa).

Yes! That's exactly what we got. It looks like a beast. The whippa snippa also Ryobi and has been very good.
What are ED Sprint's being asked for these days?
