Yup. Half the price of JETS latest ride. Don't get me wrong, his car is a weapon and I wish I could afford one 🤣 But just not in the realm of possible at this point. Stinger at least is achievable. And yeah, $80k for a new Golf R - hard pass.

yeah, probably less than half haha

 

It's hard to justify what BMW/Merc charge for their cars, even if they are "better engineered/built" than any falcon/commodore.

Cheer @JETURBO. Not sure when I'll end up getting it, but hopefully early next year.

274kW and 510 Nm, 8-speed auto with flappy paddles. 

 

Ordered Snow White Pearl. Didn't do a heap for me in photos, but seeing it in person it was my favourite colour for sure.

Respectully disagree.. I've had my 2018 C63s since new and although I've been meticulous with maintenance I have belted the absolute cr@p out of it and with 90k on the clock it still honestly drives like the day I picked it up... they are amazing cars... only about to trade it in as finance contract comes to an end soon..

 

 

@JETURBO   Congrats on the new car mate may you enjoy it in good health... keep an eye on the oil consumption on that beast my brother in laws M5 comp 2021 model likes a drink but it's a cracker machine.

Yeah well, COVID, WFH for a couple years and being in a crappy headspace will do that I suppose.

 

It served its purpose of helping me save for my house originally though, so there’s that at least 🤷‍♂️
