Jim, Whats the going rate for a nice Eclat in NSW? I have an Australian wife who wants to go home (Gosford/Terrigal) and I'm thinking about it. Wondered...
Duncan, I'd think A$24K is pretty steep for an Eclat in Oz - probably $15K would be at the upper end of the scale. Remember too, that they are somewhat rarer...
Just for some comparison In New Zealand...An Eclat/Elite is worth somewhere between $8K and $10K depending on condition, and an Excel is worth between $8 and...
