| CheckShoo, insurance is a percentage of the car's value in Brisbane. I think that percentage stands at 5% (could be 4% also).... |

4% or 5% for a year? I am a girl not good at math... saying if I get a car for 10000 Dirhams than I have to pay 500 dirhams for the insurance every year? if my car is 10000 then I am to pay 5000 for a year??? |

| Say its worth 10,000AUD. Then 5% would be 500.
The way to figure it out would be to do the following calculation:
Price of Car X 0.05 = Insurance Premium
If its 4% then replace the 5 in the previous equation by a 4. Is that OK? |

ok... it is a funny way to calculate the insurance. Most of the country they calulate by the risk of having accident. Sport cars have higher chance to have accidents or so on.... so I can buy a cheap 2 seater without paying too much for the insurance then... |

| You are correct, most places do it like that... Dunno why its calculated that way in Brisbane... |

| CheckShoo is a poor Chinese girl from rural China... She wants to spend top max 10K AUD on a car.... I'd rather encourage her to get a recent model non-luxury car than a 10-12 year old Audi for the same price... |

Brand new. Going for 89k. So what do you think. |
| Brisbane |
| Thats a fairly decent price. I am assuming you are talking about the V6 with standard features or maybe an additional option or 2.
If you are referring to the V8, then I would vroum vroum down to the dealership at 200kph because then you got yourself the mother of all deals!!!
But 89K is decent, yes, for a V6. |
| bsa |
| CYA! *vroum vroum * |
| Brisbane |
| Its the V8??? Good job!!!!!! |

| go for the explorer man
& about the insurance, its like 7% i think
my bro bought a prado for 127K & had to pay 9K for insurance
so it about 7%, but i cud b rong
about a car under 10K, the clio is a nice car, or get a 206
their both nice cars, but u will hav to go for a car atleast 6+ years old, as 10K aint a big amount |
