Rare-earth magnets are strong permanent magnets made from alloys of rare earth elements.

And they ain't cheap! But it does keep the resale value up..

30k ish.
The market here is still pretty bad. You can get some great cars for less than you would think.
Problem is most people can't even afford that.
Many people are selling their toys due to financial hardships.
At the same time many people are in no position to but toys.
Lots of toys for sale with small buying market= low prices.

25K for an older ('02) model, 45K or so for a later model like an '08.

Gotta remember that SRT-6s had a drive away price tag of nearly $100K in 2005 (the Aussie dollar was only buying about 75 cents back then too)..

G'Day Mate!

I used to work in Whyalla for quite some time myself, so I am really familiar with "the town of red dust and rust".. (awesome Snapper fishing too).
