After living in Houston for some years and owning numerous BMW M cars and Porsche 944/911s there, I now live in Perth Australia and for the past few years have been dismayed at how much more we pay here for good sports cars which are a few years old.

I just sold my E39M5 and bought a 996TT in Arctic over black with 40,000kms on it (for about 3 times more than you would pay in US....). I guess the high price here guarantees exclusivity at least and I have found most cars here are lower mileage and better kept as the entry price is high and most than can afford them do not skimp on maintenance etc.

So all in all very happy. Got Kevin's 1 bar flash going in soon. Last P car I had was a heavily modded 951S so looking forward getting back into a boosted car.

Looking forward to joining in here. Any other Perth guys on this board??
