Hmm, $38,000 AUD is about $25,000 USD. Sticker on a Liberty Sport in the US is around $25K, so the Aussies are still getting screwed.
Hahah. Obama’s going to have to find a new ‘brand’ for his re-election campaign, since ads like this have thoroughly diluted it.
Can we shoot ourselves in the foot?
Yes we can!
(Actually that seems less painful than the above options.)
More like $37.99
They do realize that Obama isn’t president elect of Australia, right?
Hah. Can you imagine the ridicule if they aired this here?
Compared to the rest of the world, and despite some of the ugliest box products in the world (Patriot/Commander/Compass), Chrysler have done extremely well in Australia. They sold 20 cars last year, only 2 or 3 less than the year before……
Man, I was about to say Chrysler vehicles are really, really overpriced!
Ah, there is a simple math equation for this . . . Nitro = POS.
snafu- I am not saying you are wrong; you just did not fully complete the equation.
Here is a little help…
Chrysler (aka Crapsler or Crisis) = POS
This is the second time in less than thirty years American tax payers have had to prop up this undeserving embarrassment of an automobile company.
Horrible…
Ryan,
yep, that was it. I forgot to carry the adjective and mutiply by 2.
Reagan to Chrysler …..Well, there you go again.
$38,000 drive away, now take out the GST which means we contribute $3454 to the federal goverment for the privilage of buying a new vehicle, leave a grand total of $34546. Out of that take stamp duty,($1140 approx) rego & insurance ($680 approx) which in South Australia adds upto a total gift to the federal and state governments of $5274, which means, the local Chysler/Jeep dealer relives us of $32726 (US$22029) for the privilage of driving a fine Chrysler off the lot. Yes, we are still getting screwed!
Will somebody PLEASE put Dodge out of its misery? The Eagles/Cardinals game is GLUTTED with the same two LAME-ASS Dodge commercials, and I’m about ready to shut the game off!
Ha! ha! ha! ha! ha…wooo…snork…eh…seriously, who came UP with this ad…The Onion? Damn…that’s hilarious! I didn’t realize Chryco had comedy writers doing their ads these days.
Woo…snork…that was a hoot. What’s next? Chevy ads that start out with “My friends…”? How about Ford commercials that ask, “What’s the difference between a Pitbull and a Fusion?” (Answer: the Pitbull s#its on the sidewalk…the Fusion? All over the road!”
Man, I crack myself up sometimes…
I have seen this ad a lot on TV and quite liked it. Better than the usual local car commercial tripe.
Do Australians pay far too much for cars? Yes We Can (and do)!
When the Australian dollar bought 97 US cents in July I priced a new Mercedes E-Class, using the Australian and US MB websites. The US model had more kit and a bigger engine, but was almost HALF price compared to Australia. The difference is smaller now but still a gaping chasm.
Japanese commodity cars were the same. Mazda 3 (Japan), Civic (Thailand), Corolla (Japan) were all around 15% cheaper in the US. The gap has closed somewhat now that the AUD$ is in the toilet, but we’re yet to see local dealers increase prices to deal with the pricier yen.
Import taxes account for some of this difference, but not all. There’s an attitude in Australia that we’re willing to pay higher prices and like it.
Conversion from left to right hand drive doesn’t account for the price differences either, as the Japanese drive on the left like Australians.
I didn’t realize it was AUS $ right away and was thinking to myself “no wonder Chrysco is going out of business.” Yeah, you Aussies are getting had on those things. At least Canadians can cross the border and buy cheap US cars, although Canada is doing everything in their power to stop that, as well the dealers and manufacturers. But as a family member said, I could give a shit about a warranty on a Toyota if I’m saving over $15k. My father-in-law had to drive state side just to get tires for his Corvette. Nobody in the entire country had them available last summer. One would think NAFTA and all this free trade we hear about would make things more available and price equitable. Guess not.
