Sorry this pertains to cars, but interested to hear your thoughts.
Was looking at upgrading my car for work. For a bit of market research I went to the local Kia dealer.
Car was $18900 plus on road costs.
How much for onraod costs - $990 was the reply WTF?
I asked the salesperson how that was made up and he said:
Registration
Car mats
Safety inspection (required by law??)
Groom
Petrol and
wheel alignment (as it gets upset on the boat trip over for Korea apparently)
I cant believe that for a "new" car especially the wheel alignment part
So $1K on a $19K equates to over 5% additional cost.
We brought a new car in 2005 and paid $350 but nearly $1000 is way OTT.
Needless to say I would be a bit reluctant to by a new Kia
Anyone else has recent experiences and what did you pay for on road costs?
