    Care factor = 0.

    I’d love a Porsche, but the price premium that they command, even as a used-and-abused 30 year old car is amazing.

  • Qikturbo

    I was just comparing prices between the Turbo and the Turbo S coupes.There is a $51,700 difference for basically a bit more power for the S version.
    What a rip off!….however if you like it and can afford one,go for it!

    • Shane

      wrong

      a lot of the things that are an option on the turbo are standard on the turbos.

      the turbo s is, in fact, good value

  • Qikturbo

    The Panamera however,is an ugly car.

  • TomJ

    The GT3 is actually rather good value.

    It would be my pick for sure.

  • TT

    Why do we in Aust have to pay 100% more than they do in the UK or USA.

    • Nick01

      Because most things in life are super expensive in Australia. Airfares, real estate, cars, milk, petrol, clothings, cigarettes, phone, broadband, the list is endless.

    • F1MotoGP

      You should look prices in Singapore. Here you can buy a Porsche Cayenne – $103,500 in Singapore you can buy for $114,900 AUD a Toyota Camry 2.4 auto.

  • Paul

    100% more? Try 300% more!

    911 Turbo S Cabriolet

    Australia $447,033
    USA $160,700

    F***ing joke.

    Cannot believe how Australians get riped-off on cars. Just like the Banks were holding people to ransome over mortgage switching fees – so do the car dealers applying prices and premiums that must make the car factory bosses laugh from ear to ear. Example in USA the new Mercedes SLK costs $60,000 on the road. In that transaction most likely the dealer made around $10,000 and the government in Taxes about $5000 so the car as a wholesale item is worth $45,000. Given current US Dollar parity with the Australian dollar, the same car costs Mercedes Australia $45,000 and say another $2000 in freight cost – $47,000 yet it is sold here for around $130,000 meaning the dealership has just collected $83,000 out of which another $15,000 goes to the government in LCT – so a total profit of $68,000 on one car sold – the dealer in USA would need to sell almost 7 cars to get that level of profit… What a joke. The arguments that we have a smaller population and hence the price needs to be more is complete and utter lie. Australians like luxury cars and if the cars were priced the same as in USA and Europe (with an extra $5000 on top fo shipping) then Mercedes would be selling 5 SLK instead of 1 and Porshe 5 Boxters intead of 2… Why make us pay so much and make us believe we are buying so much more than those cars really are… In Europe a Boxer or SLK is not a luxury car…it is a nice middle of the road sports car. When you drive an SLK a Boxter or TT in Sydney you are lead to believe that you have a ‘special’ car, you do not. You have a quiet cheap and run of the mill car. The government must legislate to create competition and fairness in this car industry otherwise we will continue paying for 7 cars profit to dealer when buying one car…

    • TROY

      another misguided dealer hater comment? i actually laughed out aloud when you i read that dealers make $68000 out of an slk. i work for a mercedes dealership, try tenthing that number.

  • lo wong

    yes i spose ur right there rod but im happy living with my datsun ……….maybe we will get married 1 of these fine old days>

  • Ned

    Price gouging in Australia is not restricted to the everyday electronics retailers . Car companies are far worst . Take the price of the 911 and check the US price . The Australian dollar is almost parity with the US in case you have not paid attention to anything in the last 12 months . Aussies , wanting to buy a quality product , are yet again being ripped off by local people who use that profit to finance yet another personal yacht. A ACCC anti competitive inquiry is desperately needed .

  • California reader

    When I read these prices, my jaw dropped. I just bought a new, nicely-optioned Boxster S for $US 57,000. Sales tax was only about $US 5,000. This is my third Porsche and I am not wealthy but I can afford to splurge a little bit on these cars. In Australia, I’d never be able to even dream of owning a Porsche. Actually, I be scared to own one there. I love Australia and love to visit …. now I feel sorry for your Aussies that can’t enjoy a Porsche. When you come visit the U.S., we can go for a drive.

  • Porsche911

    Yes, agree with the rip off costs! The Government need to get their act together. What’s more, the crazy prohibitive legislation around car imports make it impossible to import anything newer than a 20 yr old Porsche in to Oz, so even if you could source and buy a decent porsche in the UK, you couldn’t get it in!

  • The Voice of Reason

    The gummint doesn’t give a flying fig about this topic. Why? Because people are content to pay thru the nose for “prestige” motoring and the govt gets it’s cut. End of story.

    Don’t kid yourself to think that the govt will have any interest in making such cars accessible to more people (although I really wish it was so). They have already shown their intent with the ludicrous luxury car tax, as if these far king cars didn’t already cost enough as it is.

  • happyhippo

    Hey if u think it’s tuff here, go to Singapore. U need 800,000 for that merc.

    • Driven

      Singapore is so tiny it hardly feels like a country.
      Its like an overcrowded transit city with no roads long enough to enjoy a nice race in your luxury or performance vehicle. Not to mention its harsh laws and fines.
      Get caught speeding in your porsche mate and see what kind of punishment you get from the local police.

    INDEED WE DO GET RIPPED OFF IN AUSTRALIA.
    GO TO BMW CANADA.135i $43,000 128i $36,000
    325i $37,000
    CANADA SAME SIZE AS AUSTRALIA , SAME POPULATION , SAME NUMBER OF DEALERS .
    ONLY DIFFERENCE WOULD BE SLIGHTLY HIGHER SHIPPING CHARGES .
    LANDED PRICE IN AUSTRALIA FOR 325i WOULD BE SAY $30,000 – $32,000 YET SELLS HERE FOR $79,000 OR $86,000 DRIVE AWAY !
    SO THERE IS ONLY 2 ANSWERS , EITHER BMW GERMANY RIPS US OFF OR IMPORTERS/DEALERS AUSTRALIA RIP US OFF .
    THERE IS NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE .
    AUSTRALIANS ARE VERY STUPID TO PAY THESE RIDICULOUS PRICES .
    ALLOW UNRESTRICTED IMPORTS FROM EVERYWHERE , REMOVE THE LUXURY CAR TAX AND MAKE OUR DESIGN RULES THE SAME AS EUROPE !
    ALSO EVERYONE SHOULD REFUSE TO BUY CARS UNTIL THIS IS DONE !

  • Bill

    An e350 in Chicago is USD$47000. A Lexis is359 $36000.

    A dealer principal I spoke to admitted that at US prices the luxury tax would’nt even apply and that they charge (Mercedes) “what the market will bear”.

    He agreed that they could sell at US prices, all things considered, but that it would totally destroy the Australian car industry.

  • Gstring

    Never want to buy any PORSCHE car anymore. The dealer is ripping us off. I cant believe if anyone still wants to buy these cars. If you buy and then you want to sell your car back to the dealer…. OHHH my GOOD what an arogant attitude you will get from the dealer and the price offered by them is radiculously cheaaapp. NO WAYYY!!!!! Never forget 1st lesson!!

  • F1MotoGP

    Cars and petrol very cheap in USA but everything else is VERY expensive, school, hospital, seeing a doctor, insurance…..etc. I better pay more and live here than drive a cheap luxury car in USA and well, it is official. 40.2 million Americans received food stamps!!

    • F1MotoGP

      ..and in USA Porsche sold 2546 cars here 84 so in USA they sell in 1 months as many as here in 2.5 years.

  • David

    There are brand new aircraft that are cheaper than these cars. If you want to drive a Porsche just buy a house in the U.S, buy the car, park it and fly back and forth with the money left over.
