How to save money in your car on the cheap
When you’re buying a new car, it’s important to make sure you’re picking up the right parts.
But what you don’t want to do is pay a lot more than you think you’re worth.
Read moreA new study from Accenture found that the average cost of a new vehicle in Australia is $30,000 (about AU$3,100).
That’s more than double the average price of a home ($14,000).
It’s also a lot cheaper than what the average Australian spends on their home.
A 2017 analysis by Australian Insurance Council (AIC) found that, of the median-priced home in Australia, $100,000 is the average annual expenditure for a person living in the suburbs.
For an individual, that’s a big saving.
But it’s a small price to pay when the average value of a house in Australia has gone up over the last decade, according to a report by the Institute of Public Affairs (IPA).
The IPA analysed the median price of every house in the country in 2016.
It found that in 2018, the median cost of an Australian home was $1.2 million.

But in South Australia, the price of homes is about half of the national average.
This means the average family of four in the state is paying an average of $5,000 more than they were in 2017.
The IPA also found that Australians are spending more on cars, as well as on housing.
According to the AIC, the average household in South Australian paid $531 a year for a car in 2017, up $50 from 2016.
For a family of three, this means that the cost of living has risen by $1,000 a year.
But in the ACT, the cost is much less, with the median household paying just $150 in 2017 for a new, used car, according the IPA.
So what’s driving up the cost?
It’s largely a result of the Government’s drive to keep the cost up and the rollout of its Clean Energy Target, which will see consumers pay more for their electricity.
However, the IPA says the rise in the cost can be attributed to the rollout, which was delayed due to the election and the need to reduce the budget deficit.
And as the Government moves towards introducing a carbon tax, the affordability of new cars is also likely to go up.
We should also keep in mind that the price increases have been driven by the Government, not by consumers, says Paul Lappin, senior economist at the IPA and former senior economic adviser to the Prime Minister.

“We are not going to get a significant increase in car prices if you don and that’s going to cause a lot of people to take the Government at its word that they’re serious about reducing their carbon emissions.”
