Is it me or is second hand getting expensive?

[JaseQ314]

Pay sixty grand for it and have to spend another forty five tidying it up.

Personally I wouldn't give them six grand for it but some idiot will end up paying way too much.

That's an expensive pair of door handles because that's about all I see that might be usable.

Maybe the rear quarters are packed with bags of coke.

Trying to make money from something just because it's old has reached new lows.

It's happening just as bad over here.

One in Oz 6 months ago, nicer, asking 79k.

$79k is realistic for what it is, maybe more compared to the crossbreed (or mongrel, whatever you call a dog not purebred) 4 door GTS above but 300!

Nice car but it cost me only a little more in 2007 to build a 46 square two story house with double garage on 880sq meter block.
$215k house $83k land. I know where my investment dollar would go every time.

Not that I think for a minute that HDT is worth anywhere near $300K but what you paid for house and land in 2007 isn't really a fair comparison. How much would that cost now, I'd think you wouldn't even get land for than now? In 2021 $300K would be little more than a deposit for an average house in Sydney or Melbourne. An 850sqm block in the outer suburbs of Sydney would likely fetch $700K +. This is the cheapest block I could find in Sydney, $365K for for 275.5spm.

To be fair it is $300K NZ so who knows how that compares to NZ real estate, I'd still be surprised if you could buy anything in an NZ city for $300K though.

True, unfair comparison of what was available then to today. My point, although not made very well was if I had the choice to invest 300k would it be in real estate or a car, and would it be that car?

300K is a good deposit. Average sale price in NZ is more than double that and more in the cities.

I think I got what you were trying to say, just would have been better with an up to date comparison. My $300K would go on real estate long before I even considered spending it all on a single car.

300K is a good deposit. Average sale price in NZ is more than double that and more in the cities.

So you could buy near half an average house or what to the average person is just a worn out old Holden........tough decision lol

Not automotive related but I had to share this[IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210123/0c22055205f5bc684238c1e81803637e.jpg[/IMG][IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210123/34d9036d6706d7c30ebd356ff58de02b.jpg[/IMG]
