Anyone here bought a new Barina 3 door lately?

I’d be interested to get an idea of what they are going for, drive away. As they’re currently at $13,990+ORC, my calculations suggest that they should be a little over $16k drive away, but we all know that you don’t ever pay full retail!

I bought one August Last Year.
$13,990 (Car Price)
$1390 (Goverment Charges)
$450 (Rego)
Plus all the other crap they Con ya to get, Paint Protection, Etc
Mine came to about $16,500

Hope that Helps

You might find it interesting to know that at that price the total amount of money they make on the car is only about $5, i know it sounds ridiculous however they do make a few hundred on the dealer delivery. So if you do purchase one dont get too offended if they tell you they cannot move on the price.


But anyways, Barina is an awesome car for $16,000. You cant beat that when you are looking for a quality car.

Just my 2c

Hmm, I paid $19K for mine, and it's a manual and I bought the mags seperate. Seems like I was ripped off.

I paid

$13,490 (yes 490) for the car
$1500 Dealer stuff
$1700 Paint Protection

Hmm, that only makes $16K roughly... hmm, but on my paperwork it says $19,602 and I currently have it insured for $20K with the mags and stuff. Something isn't right...

are they going to lower the price when the model comes out?

I purchased mine July 04, got one of the very first 04.5 models.

I didnt pay the stamp duty and rego becoz they were giving it away free during the financial run out sale and i did purchase it before June 30 <June 23rd> and they just didnt have any of the new models...till after release July 1st. I picked it up on July 6th after the tint and wheels were added.

I paid

$14,490 for the car
$1,495 for D/Delivery
$2,795 for Wheels, tyres and Street Legal Tint

You must also remember the new 05 model Corsa has the same MP3 player as the CD Astra. So for the price it is well worth the money...i shoud have waited another 6 months

I wish I had waited too... and I wanted an auto ... grrr!!!

Thanks guys. We're still working out if we want to buy or not, but I'll let you know what I find out if/when I start visiting dealers.

How much is a Swift? I hate to admit it but it is a better car than a base spec 1.4L Barina.

Swift starts at $15,990 - same price as a Barina 5 door.
