Just read in the Sunday paper, "an alleged associate of the Commanchero bikie gang was car jacked at knifepoint with the thieves fleeing in his $200,000 Mercedes. The 29 year old was parking the white AMG C63 in a unit block....."
If I was one of those guys, I think I would make myself scarce for a while. Lol.

balthaser

so that c63 belonged to a young gangster?

$200k c63!?

balthaser

that's in Australia, price can easily be doubled and $200K might not be too far off, assuming that's a fully-loaded C63

I've heard about the biker gangs in Australia. They might want to anonymously return the car ASAP and go into hiding.

natman316

yeah c63s are way more in other parts of the word. in Thailand its over 300,000 usd!

Harold1898

a bog standard C63 retails for $168k drive away. remember an Aussie dollar is worth more than a US dollar. Put a couple of minor options and the P31 package in it and it is $200k on the road.

Ha for 200k, I would buy a new 911 turbo and put 50k on time share in the keys.

A no-options SLS can go for over $400k US in Australia. Ridiculous.

Harold1898

Try $500k.

rage2

It's too bad a new 911 turbo costs $450k over there.

What is the average household income?

Man that sucks! Hope they catch those scumbags!

Why are cars drastically more expensive in Aus... is your Big Mac like $6.00?

Jons95c36amg

I know that. But even so.

Harold1898

To buy a C63 over here you need to be doing ok. My lease repayment for 3 years 30% on $155k is $3500 a month.

Average Aussie earns just over $70,000 a year. High car prices are mainly due to the government imposed luxury car tax and a few other factors.
