Each to their own but heard heaps of horror stories buy old prestige cars then shocked when something stuffs up and the repair bill is thousands!

Completely accurate.

Eurotax is crazy when shit goes wrong

Lol im not surprised considering the absolute scam that is the AUD RRP on those things in the first place

Yep definitely, I'm talking like Mercedes brake pads RRP $800-$1200. Trade price from $140-$250. Then you charge your $100 - $250 dollars an hour labor depending on independent or dealership too :P

Definitely can't compare BMW/Mercedes parts prices to Lexus luxury. My best mate works in a Merc/BMW independent workshop and his boss is absolutely loaded. The RRP and Trade Price are worlds apart.

You think lexus parts are cheap? My IS headlight was $3.5k no globe.. Wing mirror glass $800

Having said that no car parts are cheap but anything higher end price just escalated as less people work on them, supply parts and so on

Not like the old days where you work on your own car

Turn it down father in law has an amg never paid anything like that only goes to Mercedes dealer.. Ya boss having ya on mate

Merc spare parts want $2400 for one shock absorber/spring for C63. Not fitted. Found one second hand for $800.... Bargain.

Gloria window electric motor: ~$500 from Nissan. Identical 350Z part, $250 from the US shipped.

Speaking of tacky eurotrash... Was listening to Scooter this morning.

Just so we're clear, that shit wasn't cool in 93, it wasn't retro cool in 02, and it's not ironically cool now

Surely so much not cool makes it ironically cool

You don't have to be cool to sell records... look at billy ray cyrus

Funny you should mention him... I watched a movie he starred in 2 weeks ago called Radical Jack. It was amazing.

    • I buy my wheel cleaner in 4 litre bottles now. Euro brakes are brutal
    • Sounds like it may all just be some baseless outrage stoked by the carexplore guy? As in the linked social media outrage on facebook just goes back to carexplore as a source again. Further shown by the council response that nothing actually has changed: "The Private Land Use Permit has been part of the Casey Community Local Law for a number of years. It's important to clarify that this permit is not new, and no changes have been made to the permit or the Local Law in relation to the permit." The full council response in Prank's link sounds reasonable to me. Saying that as someone who neither lives there nor has a front yard to call their own  
    • Clutch hydraulics are also all good, looks like a brand new slave cylinder and everything bled up well. No idea what the actual clutch is, and I don't intend to pull the box off on the floor to find out, so unless we have trouble on the dyno or at shakedown that will remain a mystery for the new owner
    • Front brakes are G4 8 pot calipers over 330mm discs with braided lines. Everything looks good, pretty sure these are off my old 350. Pads are brand new and judging from gold colour are Winmax which is what I also run on my race car, Neil and I both sourced brake stuff from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney who really knows his stuff Everything has bled up nicely with all new Motul RBF600 fluid, there were 2 loose hard line connections and the calipers were new on the car so I ended up doing it 3 times but it is perfect now
    • So, starting with the rear brakes. They look like standard R33 GTST, and will need new pads shortly (less than 5mm material, probably only 1 day left). The slotted discs (probably DBA) are near new at 18.01mm and the lines are braided
