Bruce Amacker Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I've sold more than a few books to Oz and wondered why, I just had a chat on the phone with a guy buying a book that answered some questions for me. The 7.3 is considered a status symbol over there, with 99-03 7.3 trucks still selling in the $70,000+ range! Ford of Australia does sell new trucks (converted to RHD) for about $130K new. Some parts prices for you- 7.3 water pump $1100 and CMP $500, the guy I spoke with said he orders most parts directly from the US to save money. The exchange is nearly even with the USD being $1.07 right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DwayneGorniak Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Holy Crap! I don't imagine they have any rust on them either down there. They are still quite desired up here as well. It's just hard to find one that hasn't been pounded to death. Makes mine look incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordracer Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Last month I sold 5 new style cam sensors to a guy in Australia for $15 each. I guess he got a hell of a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselD Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 We need a cut. First ask what country they are going to and mark them up 200% or more for "handling charges" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
