unless it is a locally produced part (which there are not many) then it still makes the price jump for us aussies. everything imported is automatically slapped with import tax, then we have a goods and services tax. Everything is passed on to the consumer so I feel that the AU$ comparison to US$ does apply here.
8K for a built motor over here is a tight budget but hopefully the OP can get it done
