Yet a car that was made in Australia, (HSV, Pontaic GTO in US) was $10k MORE to buy in Australia, than it was to buy it from the US, and ship it back.

Another example is new luxury cars. Again in Australia, a new Lexus ISF was $135k, a new E92 M3 is $190k.

But, that said; our wages / living conditions / economy I believe are better in Australia/New Zealand.

Its 514,000 yen, which according to google is $ 5404 USD.
