If that's what you pay, it may be cheaper to come to the US, buy it and ship it back Down Under. You'd be hard pressed to spend over $55K USD for one here.

I'd love to, but i'd have to stay in the US for 2 years to LEGALLY import the car to Australia, as you cannot import a vehicle that is sold in the local market until they are at least 15 years old.
Then you get to the shipping, compliance, RHD conversion issues and so on.
I would say this does make moving to the states look attractive, USD$100k hello Maserati Gran Turismo!
