More and more Aussies are selling their cars to help ease cost of living pressures, with prices for some used models booming. Since the start of the pandemic, used car prices have risen by a phenomenal 79 percent, and if you own an Audi RS7, Mercedes G, or Toyota Hilux, you could be sitting on a gold mine. The 2021 Hilux has increased in value an incredible 136 percent from $29,000 in June 2021 to $68,500 in June 2022. With Australian inflation now at 6.1 per cent – the highest in two decades – some find the key to financial stability could be in their garage. According to 2021 census data, 55.1 per cent of Australian households own two or more vehicles, and some of them are now abandoning their second car, while others are completely car-free. One of those who decided to sell his one-of-a-kind vehicle was Milli Ogden, who besides facing rising prices was also saving up for his wedding.

Australians pay about 20 cents per liter more for diesel than they should, consumer advocates say. And they said there seemed to be no good reason for that. Federal Treasurer Jim Chalmers said Australians were “really dirty” about higher fuel prices. While prices have declined, experts say diesel prices have not fallen enough. But retailers say there is always a lag between the drop in oil prices seen at the pump. Even if you don’t own a diesel vehicle, you may be affected by the price of diesel. That’s because it’s the fuel of choice for industry — transportation, agriculture, shipping, and mining — which means there are after-effects for the economy. Why is diesel so much more expensive than gasoline? Oil prices soared earlier this year after Russia was sanctioned for its invasion of Ukraine. Diesel prices rose more than gasoline due to various factors including higher demand due to the COVID-19 economic recovery and less supply from Russia. Russia is one of the largest oil producer

A new car is a scary commodity and now a brazen thief in North Queensland has been eyeing some of the valuables available. Key points: Chevrolet Silverado, Dodge Ram stolen from Mackay’s car yard The waiting time for a new car is now an average of six months The Motor Traders Association says new cars come with fewer options to reduce waiting times The burglar used a grinder to punch a hole in the fence of the new car storage area in Mackay on Monday night and then broke into the office lock safe, retrieving 25 sets of keys. They then broke down the front gate on the cars that had already been sold, including the high-end Chevrolet Silverado that had been ordered back. New Pioneer Motors Managing Director Keith Callinan said the attack was devastating. “That’s the really, really sad part about it … it’s not like we can go and get another one and give it to him,” she said. “There is nothing and there is no way we can help.” The Silverado has since been found dumped in the long grass in

The Y is a few thousand dollars more expensive than its sedan sibling (prices seem to have bounced a lot; the Y launched at $68,900 and jumped $3400 a week later). The listed price for our base model version is $72,300, with silver metallic paintwork, 20-inch “Induction” wheels (replacing the 19s that come as standard), premium black and white interior, plus ordering and shipping costs add $7625, and rego etc counts in a few thousand more (gives a total drive-away price in NSW of $84,160). The springy, plastic seating at Y isn’t to everyone’s taste. Inside, the standard edition panoramic glass roof makes for a lighter, brighter and more airy interior (this adds a bit of headroom). I’m not sure about the bright white seating material in our car. It’s soft and supple and very, very plastic. Most everything else impressed, however. The minimalistic, almost buttonless interior generally works well, with discreet and smart multifunction “thumb wheel” controls on the steering wheel th

A forgotten victim of the Warriors’ two-and-a-half year stay in Australia was the 2005 Nissan Tiida. Second rower Josh Curran didn’t think twice before parking his car outside the club offices at Mt Smart Stadium in March 2020, thinking the team would only be in Australia for about a month before returning to Auckland. wishful thinking. The 23-year-old driver finally returned to his car late last month and found it parked exactly as he left it, although it looked a little uglier to wear. “There’s actually mold growing around the wheel,” Curran told NRL.com. The car is dead. Flat tire, low battery. Josh Curran “I need to get someone to come out and fix it, because it’s definitely not moving. “But I’ll be worried about it when I get back to New Zealand.” 599″, “>809”, “>959″]” data-eqio-prefix=”video-post-screen” ref=”root”> Next /

A regional airline has temporarily cut some Tasmanian services as a result of rising fuel costs. Key points: Sharp Airlines has temporarily suspended Saturday services to King Island and Flinders, as well as Wednesday services from Essendon to King Island Airlines say facing rising fuel costs, the only other alternative is to increase ticket prices Flights are scheduled to restart in September Sharp Airlines said the price of aviation turbine fuel had increased by more than $1 per liter in 12 months, 40 cents of which came in the past two months. Managing Director Malcolm Sharp said the airline had chosen to reduce flights rather than charge travelers. “For our customers, we try to find ways to make it at least less painful,” he said. “The easiest thing to do is raise prices, but we think that will have a bad impact on demand. “This is a difficult time.” The war in Ukraine has pushed up oil prices around the world.
