@keejoonc: I bought my 3rd gen Prius back in 2014 for 9K. Drove almost 10 years, added up 200K in odometer. Didn't spend anything other than tyres, oil and filter. Sold it for same price I bought 10 years later.
Nissan Skyine GT-R
Nissan GTR woulda been nice..
German cars.
Let them buy ICE cars mate someone need to keep the economic going.
Try buying a second hand 70 series land cruiser. 70k from Toyota, $100,000 second hand.
Which petrol cars don't depreciate?
The good ones. There was a Falcon GTHO Phase 3 at an auction last month that got passed in at $600k up from $5k new. Hell even a base model Falcon GL older than 40 years is worth more than RRP now if it's in reasonable condition.
normal car is around 80-100 per tank, average too fill is around 40 times a year, so a year cost is 4k.
but all the petrol car depricate a lot over the past one year
Hybrid.
I'm not sure the depreciation argument is particularly valid. Nobody seriously expects to buy a regular car such as this and not have it lose value.
The real issue is that young people lease a tesla at $60k to look cool without thinking of the ramificarions in a few years time.
After 3 years and thier lease is almost up the trade in value is $30k and they move into a new 2025 version and the cycle repeats.
I dont know about you but after 30 years, a AU falcon will still be running, and a collecrs car is worth ten times it's current price.
Many younger people (and richer) are buying teslas (and other EVs) on novated leases because it's actually cheaper than outright purchase. The higher your tax bracket, the cheaper it gets and that includes onroad costs too like services, insurance etc thanks to FBT exemption.
I think i was doing a case study math on a model Y a year ago when it would've costed 67k. Worked it out to be under 58-60k after all the maths and I'm not in thr highest tax bracket. If you're there that would've been about 52k. Not to mention all the "discounted" insurance and other service costs.
Anti EV people usually have no clue about how novated leases work LOL
Yeah because novated leases are totally a new thing…
mate in 30 years a petrol “AU falcon” is going to cost an eye watering fortune in synthetic fuel or be otherwise impossible to run. Depreciation on ICE cars is going to approach 100% by 2035.
@idalla: Let's see how your prediction goes. 2035 is only 10 years from now. I reckon EV's will be about 50% of the market by then, which means there will still be lots of ICE vehicles on the road.
which means there will still be lots of ICE vehicles on the road.
Not only will there be lots of ICE cars on the road. Almost every commercial vehicle, agricultural machine, plane and boat will still be ICE.
The idea that forcing a few million people into EVs will make any difference to the Carbon footprint of the transport sector is pure fantasy.To give you the maths,
The transport is something like 20% of total emissions (figures differ depending on which report you read).
About half of that is Road-based so we're down to 10%
The very best projections are for 50% (some projections are much lower at 20-30%) of vehicles to be EV by 2035 so we're down to 5% at best.
EV's still produce CO2 and estimates depending on battery size are anywhere from 50% to 100% total lifecycle emissions, so we're down to 2.5%So the plan is to spend hundreds of billions of dollars to try to achieve at best a 2.5% saving.
And to put that into perspective, China increases their emissions by that amount every week. So in a single year, we've still gone backwards but paid hundred of billions for the privilege of doing so.
This is why the Green Left is joke.@billy_bob: I agree. However, with 50% EV adoption and the high land values driven by scarce asset inflation, I don't think the number of petrol stations will remain unchanged in next ten years. If the number of petrol stations drops by even 20-30%, it will significantly affect the usage of high-performance/heavier ICE vehicles (which don't have high mileage per refuel) and could trigger another wave of EV adoption. As a result, petrol stations would be even fewer, creating a domino effect.
@idalla: Judging by the condition of those AUs I see on the road there won't be many roadworthy ones in 10 years let alone 30.
mate in 30 years a petrol “AU falcon” is going to cost an eye watering fortune in synthetic fuel
Where did you get that idea?
Let's see if we can work out a likely scenario based on reality:
1. Oil exists.
2. Oil reserves are currently expected to last 50+ years, that doesn't include any new projects of which there are many.
3. The Electric 'transition' will reduce demand on oil supplies.
4. Economics 101, if supply stays the same and demand reduces then prices go down.So shouldn't the anticipated reduce in demand of petrol reduce it's price?
And for bonus points, if demand for electricity goes up, and the government continues to sit on their hands with new generation projects, what do you think will happen to the price of electricity at the same time?
@1st-Amendment: Economies of scale will rapidly disappear in the distribution of petrol and diesel for consumer use. Supply and demand relationships as you describe will not pan out given the underlying and enormous distribution infrastructure will become uneconomic to maintain with diminishing patronage. Electric vehicles are already cost superior in most use cases without much regulatory encouragement, but carbon pricing on liquid fuels is inevitable in the next 10-20 years. Electricity for the purpose of electric cars will remain cheap, because EV charging can be managed easily to coincide with solar output which is already cheap as chips, and will be 2-5x cheaper per unit generation within a decade. You’ll be filling the AU Falcon up with expensive, boutique, carbon-abated liquid fuels at far-flung depots, I guess. I’ll just enjoy the glut of cheap Chinese EVs.
Economies of scale will rapidly disappear in the distribution of petrol and diesel for consumer use
If you read my post above the total demand drop is estimated be less than 2.5%.
Supply and demand relationships as you describe will not pan out
To put the 2.5% drop into perspective, we increased consumption by about 1% per year. This is why trying to save the planet by moving to EV's is a complete joke of a strategy.
and will be 2-5x cheaper per unit generation within a decade
How much will it coast to charge at night? Or after a day or two of low solar irradiance? What happens then, the entire country just stops and waits for the sun to come out? This is progress to you?

You've been drinking the Green Left kool-aid for too long. If we come back to the real world, the largest growth area in transport is Hybrids, outpacing EV growth 10:1. Guess what Hybrids need to run? Petrol is not going anywhere soon. This is fantasy talk form people who have zero idea about how anything in the real world works.
We have a performance and a standard tesla. For insurance the standard is $1350 a year and the performance is $1571
We do 35-40,000km a year and save a heck of a lot more than $50 a week.
Actual information with real numbers instead of biased made-up BS to support an opinion. Thank you @gavincato
The loss comes when you try to sell it
For now this is true, might change over the next 5-10 years
@BigPeeper: Well only get worse, I imagine will be seeing a bunch requiring battery replacements that will be worth not much
@cille745: I did that per annum commuting at my last job. There are a lot of different use cases out there.
we didn't buy it expecting to profit when we sold it :)
True of 95% of cars. Who cares if you're keeping it for the long term?
sydeny?
near wollongong
nsw?
Our Model 3 standard range insurance costs us $1,271 a year with Shannons.
Are you over 60 years old?
@Wizard: I'm 37 years old, do 40,000km a year in the Hunter Valley region and my M3 Long Range costs $1400 P/A through NRMA.
Same for me through NRMA
Wow taht is cheap insurance with who are you with to get this price?
GIO - both over 40.
Suburb / insurer?
near wollongoing, gio.
@the4thzodiac: I'm relatively new to VIC and have been shocked at the price of car insurance here. Why is it so high?
@GregRust: Too many people driving cars like idiots. I was also shocked when I moved my car rego from Brisbane to Melbs. From 800 with goodish Allianz to effin Budget Direct for 1500.
@goodwillN1: People are very aggressive on the roads here, that’s for sure. It feels like I have to avoid an accident with some idiot every time I go out.
Ditto. People get so hung up on the misinformation out there. Fact is I’d happily pay more for the incredible driving experience we get from the standard RWD models, the instant acceleration, quiet driving, comfort and tech, convenience of charging at home, and lack of smell in the garage and the 19 oil changes I haven’t had to do myself over the current km travelled.
BUT it turns out I get all that for cheaper than ICE haha. Insurance 1300 and charging at ~5 dollars a week.@ gavincato: Useless info without comparing it to your insurance cost for a similar ICE vehicle for the same driver at the same address. If you could get a quote with your insurance company for a high spec Mazda6 for comparison, that would be more useful.
useless? someone said a tesla is 3-4x more insurance. i hardly think a mazda 6 would be $337 a year for us.
@gavincato: Ok, I have just done the real comparison, both quotes from Budget Direct, for 40+ year old driver, Rating 1, driving 15,000km per year, Melbourne address:
Tesla Model 3 Standard: $3400
Mazda 6 Touring 2.5L: $1219Not sure how you are getting your Tesla insurance so cheap, but in Melbourne, a base Tesla is almost 3x as much to ensure as a Mazda 6.
@billy_bob: I'd attach a screenshot but can't see a way. Post code 2530, both of us are over 40, max NCB.
@gavincato: I'm not questioning your costs, just very surprised they are so low. But I think it must be the location. Melbourne is the most expensive place in Australia for car insurance.
The moral of the story is, get an insurance quote before any new car purchase.
Better off buying a $500 shitbox drive it for 10 years then sell it for $1000 if you treat it as a high yield investment
you mean $30000 per year depreciation?
The insurance does seem to be higher on Tesla's.
Crybaby alert!!
Who spends only 50 a week in fuel, try 3-4 times and insurance quotes were 1200-1500.
Other car a 4x4 is $2600 and needs tanker behind it for support crew….Yes yes FWP I know
I would guess a lot of people spend less than $50 per week on fuel. I do about 350km per week, which is slightly above average. My car uses 6.3 L/100km, so that works out to 22 litres per week. I pay around $1.70 per litre, so that comes to $37 for the week.
That's awesome, horses for courses.
/sThe EV cost about $15 bucks a week and 2 free charges at work a week to cover 700-800km.
Fourby gets 250-300 km from 80 bucks.
Now if I ditched the fourby for second EV, I and the Mrs could just rotate cars every second day as I could easily cover any usage on a 15A charger for both cars and literally drive mostly for free.
and $3,000 per year depreciation.
$3k a year deprectiation is actually pretty good, what are you smoking?
But I'm sure the $50 fuel savings per week is WoRtH iT.
Ah right, you're one of those
Only 8K more than a new camry, that's actually wild.
6k if you compare with RAV4, which is proper.
How about RAV4 hybrid? Cost more I assume.
Not comparable because RAV4 owners consider Y only worths 30k due to lacking of an engine.
Factor in a novated lease and it'll blow your mind.
Can you purchase this deal through novated lease as they have their own pricing ?
Can't see why not. I haven't looked into Tesla's terms on the existing inventory, so maybe worth contacting them. I know 3rd party NL companies should be able to do it, they can even novate a 2nd hand car if you want.
Is there a new model around the corner?
New model already released and out for order
My ass is about as much of a bargain.
how much $?
Ozrrp
Tesla Juniper released.
Thanks OP
Come on NSW!
Eww the old model. That's like so 2024.
Xpeng Xiaomi BYD is coming hot in 2025
I'm all for electric cars and new technologies, but this thing is hideous.
Can’t disagree with that. The new model 3 is sleek though
Lol. The new model 3 Highland has No USS, no stalks, slower and lower top speed, plain front bumper (no style) no fog lights, has a crap and plain steering wheel… Etc list goes on. But yeah.. 'sleek' if you say so.
It's the apple of the car world.
Owners think they have the best EV on the market until they see what the competition does.
Imagine paying $75k for the same car 4 years ago. Ouch!
Until FSD comes out sorry Tesla, BYD gang signing out
its next year
Wow…a bargain
must be clearing out old stock for tesla model y juniper 2025
Now, car dealers dominated Ozbargain!
How about promoting a laptop deal with the car, like buying Tesla get gaming laptop for free? With FSD, you can play 3A game while driving.Model Y is the best selling car in the world, people comparing with BYD 🤣🤣
@whyisave: Used car market was ridiculous even until early 2024.
