Have you found a bargain - 2021

I still can't fathom 37k for a motor.... i know the dealer can justify it..... but i can't.

I used to have a full Honda MPE parts list on a disc with dealer prices, so just for giggles once I did costing of what my $15k motorbike would cost if purchased as individual spare parts.
$118k was the total 

I kind of get that you are paying for storage. A car gets built, and sold relatively quickly, so the ROI for the manufacturer is fairly short. But the parts get built and then might get stored for many many years until sold ?

These things are pretty cool https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fre6EWMuBXE     just need a variety of smaller hooks

Have seen them for a lot less than that, but yeh, serious coin.
There are a lot of later model 200 series with DPF problems which require new DPF's, injectors and other bits.
Approx 10K in parts, but you can bet Toyota are not paying anywhere near that for them.

It has been a while since this was posted so just a reminder for those who didn't know it was available or to refresh your First Aid Certificate especially coming up to summer.

    It is a very important skill to have and if this helps save just one life, then the course has done it's job. This first aid course will provide you with an essential reference to help to identify the first aid appropriate in an emergency.

    Quick and easy to do. Just register, do the course and exam. You can even print out your certificate if that tickles your fancy!

    Please note that this isn't a replacement for the accredited course you need for certain occupations, but is a tool to help everyone being able to possibly save a life in the case of emergency. In the event of an emergency, always make sure someone calls '000' as well.


Note: havent looked at it yet, not sure how good it is etc.

Thanks for reminding us all Bird. I totally agree. I recently renewed my remote area first aid course which I do every three years.

This isnt a certificate course as such, but any first aid training can only be a good thing

You would drown in the condensation if it didn't freeze solid.

You'd wonder about that, wouldn't you, because it looks like a plastic bag

I assume though, that they have to be the real deal in some way

looks like an old roof insulation bag and at that price wouldn't be much more

what about 37k for your new cruiser donk etc like someone here had to...

What I don't understand is how some soft floor CT which are for all intents and purposes are a tent on a box trailer yet some manufacturers retail these things up to $40k. Then look at a motor vehicle like a Hyundai i30 or the like which are up to $15k cheaper and look at how many moving parts are in them and the engineering and factories required to build them and compare the price to the CT. I understand economies of scale but still you have to wonder.

Renogy black friday sale: which has been on sale for some time now.

Discounts across the board and a referral code for an extra 6% off to share if you have made a purchase.

I had my referral code to share but deleted it....d'oh.

but never fear, you can use the one below.
For example:

Renogy just dropped the price of the 200 Amp hour Li yesterday. With code "xht3hz8" it can be had for $1128 delivered. Bloody good price that one. The 170Ah was sharp until they dropped the price on the 200 and the 100 is a good deal too, all with an extra 6% off. Enjoy. Renogy Li seem to have a pretty good reputation in the market.

Footnote: just discovered my mate who bought the 200Ah Li just copped a $70 foreign exchange fee added to his credit card. I bought a small item and copped a fee too.
