Learn something new every day! I'll add that to the old brain bank

This so-called ‘recession’ doesn’t seem to be affecting Defender prices...they might become a bull market in the lead up to 2020.

The US Stockmarket doesn’t look like slowing down either. Run, bull, run. Longest bull market looks to keep going

Australia’s slow down is off the back of poor wages growth and companies putting it into profits instead. The rich are getting richer. the spin is a recession IMO.

so has the price dropped yet?

Price of what? Food? No. Fuel? No. Housing? No, not really. Land Rovers? No. Although 5 year warranty on a $100K Disco 5 is ‘on sale’ ...bargain! [bigwhistle] Considering Discos cost $60K Just a few years ago.

Got the official valuations of our properties today and they are up.

Problem is, can people afford to buy them? When money is tight people keep their old clunkers running longer before replacing them.
Our friendly real estate agent says the word is developers have stopped buying development sites and are sitting on their hands waiting until after the NSW and federal elections, when they expect the end to uncertainty will see a lift in activity.
National exports are going well but the profits aren't flowing to consumers, who are tightening their belts. And the banks have made it significantly harder to get a housing loan.
Hopefully by mid year the uncertainty will ease, consumers will get wage rises and the economy will start moving again.

No we won’t be discussing whose land is being taxed. Although driving Land Rovers across Land is also taxed. Defender prices still haven’t come down.

My D4 is going to tax me heavily in the next couple of days,brakes,timing belts,service,etc.[bighmmm]
