A snip at $360,848 AU.
Yeah, it may be the special Heritage 60 edition in Sherwood Green and quite possibly the last ever SVO version of the F-Type, but come on!
And it doesn't even have the CCM brakes.
We really get bent over on price for new Jags here in Oz.

 

Just insane, but somewhat easier to live with when it's beyond reason. The greatest stress comes from a marginal situation.

 

...And remember kids...Another reason to stay away from Crack! Especially car dealers Perhaps the figure is listed in pennies??

* Fine Print: only $100,000, + Wealth Tax...

 

You don't know how close you are to the truth!
The import duties, GST (Goods and Services Tax) and LCT (Luxury Car Tax) make up a sizeable proportion of that price, and to make matters even more ridiculous the LCT is based on the price AFTER GST (so a tax on a tax).
Then we have the fact that the LCT was introduced back on 1 July 2000 to protect the Oz car manufacturing industry but that ceased to exist on Oct 20 2017 when the Holden factory in Elizabeth SA (where I was drug up!) closed forever, so ever since that date nearly four years ago now there has been zero rationale for the LCT yet it soldiers on!

 

Only $266000 US !

 

There are 2 of these on CarGurus and they are around $140k.

 

I assume most of this is tax? I know you Aussies get shafted for importing anything.

 

Probably not most, my guess is around 40%.
