I think you’re still a bit off. A DB9 in the UK costs about 110,000 pounds, but in Australia it starts at about 350,000 dollars. If the Rapide starts at 140,000 pounds, then it will probably be well over 500,000 dollars on the road, possibly up to about 600,000 dollars with options, but it doesn’t sound as if there are many available anyway.

You really do have to feel sorry for the rich.

I often think that a Bentley Flying Spur is all the car that I would ever need; If I only had enough money for either that or the Rapide, I am afraid the Rapide would win. Absolutely gorgeous and faultless.

And in that price range it’s all about revenue raising, not protection of the local industry.

With no options it will be over AUD $320,000.00 drive away with over $58,000.00 in LCT and $12,620.00 in Stamp Duty (VIC). No wonder there are hardly any rich people in Oz.
