Well I should not say I told you so - but I did back in March 09.
(Few  skeptics around then though).

http://www.mustang.org.au/forum/viewthread.php?tid=6107

US Government has so debased/diluted its currency that a collapse in USD international value was inevitable.
An increase in official interest rates here, when others don't raise theirs, will always boost the AUD/usd rate as well.

Have a look at the "USD index" and you can see how the USD been trashed.  
http://quotes.ino.com/chart/?s=NYBOT_DX&t=f

I would agree that we can expect to see around 1 to 1 AUD/USD rate.   This will be due to further weakness in USD in global currency markets and further small increases in official interest rates here. Whilst the US Govt continues with it's irresponsible spending, debt , currency dilution  and interest rate policies the USD will remain in the doldrums and will be a sell.    

There are plenty of cars advertised for sale in the US and the economy is still in the trash can.   The smart ones held off buying until a much better exchange rate was available to them.

I find it hard to believe Kochie.. He said that 12 mths ago. He said it would be 1 for 1 by Jan of this year.. Maybe he has now put the kiss of death on it as he did last year!!  
Wait and see

Yep it is certainly a positive.
Just need to remember that there are different rates depending on how you are purchasing. All in all still better than earlier in the year. :(

         Bank Buys   Bank Buys   Bank Buys
Country   Currency   Abbr   TT   Cheques/ Travel Card   Notes
USA   DOLLAR   USD   0.9231                0.9281                   0.9397


         Bank Sells   Bank Sells   Bank Sells
Country   Currency   Abbr   TT   Cheques/ Travel Card   Notes
USA   DOLLAR   USD   0.8913                 0.882                   0.8797

Sorry it didn't show up how it was supposed to.

Supposed to basically show

bank buys TT (transfers) at .9231 Cheques at .9281 and Notes at .9397.

Then sells TT at .8913 Cheques at .882 and notes at .8797.

And when you are buying something in the US it is the sell line that you get.

Well guys, with the dollar the way it is, I am letting you all know I will be at Pomona Swap Meet on Sunday, so if anyone is looking for stuff now is the time to ask.

Also have found many decent cars, so let me know what to look for. there are also some POS, so be careful when dealing on Ebay. Good stuff is not "cheap" here as they know what it is worth, but prices are down a little.

I have a container (maybe 2) leaving for Syd in December so can find space in that if required.

Contact details in my bio.

Yes but wait to see what they charged you for the transfer & how much ended up in the US account you sent it to. Big difference, probably worked out you got maybe .85 if you are lucky.

PayPal may be different, but they still have charges. Oh well the banks need the money :w
