After living in Oz for a year and a half, I decided to bite the bullet and buy a car. I won't bore you with the story of the decision making. I can just say that it will be nice to actually have a set of wheels. I can get out of town! The disadvantage is that it's too short to sleep within... at least to sleep comfortably. It's a '97 with only 56,000 km (35,000 miles) on it. That means it only averaged 2320 miles per year.
Victoria has oodles of beuracracy though. The car had to be unregistered, then I had to get an unregistered permit ($70) to get a road safety certificate ($100), to then bring to the "DMV" to get a registration ($850).
The car has a 10 disc cd changer! ... but I have no CDS :(
WOW!!! :0( That kind a ruins your day.
ReplyDeleteNot ruined :) Happy to have a car again.
