I agree, currently running around in hire cars and the peace of mind driving somebody elses car or having a shitter as a second car just can't be beat! Park it anywhere and ignore it, best 1K you'll ever spend! :)

Agreed! I'm currently paying $180/month for a spot in World Square, which is actually really freaking cheap but still adds up to $2160/year :shock:.
Used to park in Haymarket where I had my top slashed :cry:

jonno.


Frrrrrruuuuck, that's cheap. I rack up around $100 p/day parking in the city. At the bare min, it's $50 p/day.

Do they still have spots available at Wsquare?

To the OP - $800 p/a is nothing. At least you'll have peace of mind.

Cheers - mike

more money than sense :shock: :shock: :shock: :mrgreen:





Mate, some people don't even earn before tax $100 a day. We need some perspective people !

Real nice car - parking it outside will have it deteriorate in no time, no matter how well you maintain it. Black is a bad colour to leave in the sun.
So...bicycle or motorcycle not an option? Stolen in a flash I guess.
What sort of reputation does the suburb have? Is it likely to be damaged in the undercover train station car park? Any good spots against walls etc?
Consider approaching nearby elderly pensioner residents with empty garages & offering them $500./year? Drive a hard bargain - insist they wash & polish it as well!
