It's the same story in Sydney, K-Mart seem to have cornered the market on
them. Maybe the M.D of K-Mart drives one. Maybe when someone buys half a dozen
of them they restock the shelf immediately. But the closest one to me has had
the same number for the last 3 months, even after a 20% off sale. Yep they are
$59 at ours as well. They do have some good parts too, the doors, the windows
and the chrome macaroni that get all the metroliner-heads salivating overseas.
I'm carrying one of those balloon tyres as a spare in my own car (it's small).
Paul,do your K-Marts have the SW 7171's for $94.90 and the SW 7161's for
$59.90 clearance price?
