Would You Pay $190,000 For A Parking Space?


Parking rates are high, but I’m not sure they’re high enough to justify paying $190,000 for a single car space in Sydney makes sense. But even the cheapest inner-city spots routinely sell for $40,000. Would you be tempted to buy at that price?

We’ve recently highlighted how much costs vary for casual parking in different Australian cities, so it’s clear that there’s rarely a cheap way to get a car into the CBD. But $190,000 would buy you an awful lot of taxi trips.

I’d like to know: have you ever purchased a car space, or considered doing so? What was the main reason, and how would you set a budget? Share your thoughts in the comments. (I also discussed this issue on Ten Breakfast this morning; you can check the video here.)
