Economies of scale?? There is only so much you can fit in one truck. The problem is that even though the price of petrol has increased dramatically in NZ over the last couple of years, there are no less cars on the road. The cost of petrol at the moment is not enough incentive for people to think twice before driving or trading in their gas guzzler for a smaller car. In the UK this has happened, my argument is that the price should be raised so people only drive when necessay and those adamant to pilot a large SUV pay for it.

Would you still drive over the bridge if there was a $10 toll? $20 toll? etc

It seems to work very well in the UK. Their interest rates are much lower than ours too.

Or, shock horror..., you could catch a bus

Yep. If the roads were emptier, parking was easier I would definately pay more. Imagine what it would be like to give your car a good "wind out" on the way to work, instead of sitting in traffic.

Im all for it. Petrol is too cheap in NZ. With higher petrol taxes and possibly tolls, only those who have to or really want to, will drive. This should reduce emissions as well as congestion. Im not a greenie at all (in fact quite the opposite). But making people pay is the best way to reduce our roading and motoring problems in NZ.

Sounds terrible, but using a staple gun wisely can save you some money

At $22k it would need to be f**king special!!!!

Unfortunately not. Stuck in a library studying for Uni exams. It was an email forward from a mate of mine

I am an idiot... SORTED

Probably Holden supporters.....

Hey guys, Im trying to add a new post with an attachement. I click to upload the image and the wee spiral thing keeps turning for ages, but the photo won't upload. Its not too big (less than 100kb). Any ideas as tho why this is happening?

If you want to sell the wheels that are currently on your car, PM me.

This guy looks like an importer from Europe. Im sure the M3 will be a bit dearer than $145k. If im wrong and it is around that mark, it makes 335i's look overpriced.

What sort of 'ballpark' figure are you after?

Oh, and theres more: Flag Badges

TradeMe Just waiting for the interesting comments to appear!

It was always going to be a restrained (read: boring) design. Shame BMW couldn't be a leader and do something more radical than the RS4 and C63.

ABS control unit probably on its way out... Start saving now

A crime against humanity!

Are the majority of them hand me downs? This seemed to be the case when I was at school

Those front tyres look like slicks!

Are those subaru alloys? You'd probably have better luck on TM than here.

Sorry, I meant to say auto. However, a mate of mine bought a manual NZ New one with schnitzer kit about six months ago for $21k I hope I haven't offended anyone. I guess at the end of the day, what you value your pride and joy at is your decision. However, when wanting to sell something it is only worth what someone is willing to pay. Maybe there is someone out there who doesn't owna 540is that would pay $15k for one?
