According to TWG Cars, the leading used car dealers Brisbane wide, the pandemic caused supply of new cars to dwindle while the cost of living surged, resulting in skyrocketing demand for used vehicles and driving prices through the roof.

While used car prices have been falling for the past seven months, data from Moody’s Analytics shows prices around the country are still on average 55% higher than in January 2020. 

Some vehicles are cheaper now than seven months ago though, points out TWG Cars, with used Utes such as Hilux’s and Rangers seeing a significant price drop. 

TWG Cars explains that the primary driver of price declines has been the improvement of global supply chains, particularly the supply of semiconductor chips which has resulted in less demand for used cars. Additionally, the Moody’s report points to increasing pressures in the Aussie market such as inflation and interest rate hikes as well as a reduction in buying power.

As the premier car dealers Brisbane wide, TWG Cars prides itself on pricing cars low to begin with, enabling them to meet the market. Operating a high volume, low margin model, TWG Cars says customers can have confidence they are getting a great price. All second hand cars come with a 3-year mechanical protection plan, similar to a warranty, for peace of mind motoring.

According to leading retailer Twelve Board Store, which stocks everything from electric skateboards and longboards to limited edition skateboard decks and more, skateboarding is a great sport to learn and just about anyone can pick it up. To give newbies confidence in their skateboarding journey, Twelve Board Store is sharing their top tips on choosing the right skateboard and protective gear and learning the basics. 

Twelve Board Store explains that choosing the right skateboard is essential to help beginners build their skills safely. As a beginner, focusing on the deck, grip and wheels is most important. For those with smaller feet or those who are heavier than average, Twelve Board Store recommends opting for a shorter deck as this will allow them to maneuver more easily. 

Grip tape is a material that is wrapped around the underside of the deck and is essential for beginners as it allows them to grasp the skateboard better while also making it easier to maneuver while remaining stable on the skateboard, explains Twelve Board Store. 

Skateboard wheels can make all the difference as they determine how fast the skater will go, says Twelve Board Store. With wheels available in several sizes and hardness levels, it’s important to ensure the wheels are suited to the intended terrain.

Twelve Board Store recommends using protective gear such as a helmet, wrist guard and knee and ankle pads. Falling is common when skateboarding, especially for those just starting out, so it’s best to be protected with the proper gear to ensure safety. 

Day one is always going to be a challenge, but Twelve Board Store says the most important thing to do is start with the basics. When learning how to stand on the skateboard, it’s a good idea to place the board on a flat ground and practice balancing before moving. 

To get kitted out with the best gear, including limited edition longboard skateboards, enthusiasts can drop into Twelve Board Store in Melbourne or visit the retailer online.

Italia Yachts Announces New Line of Yachts at Miami Press Event

Italia Yachts Announces New Line of Yachts at Miami Press EventSales in the U.S. Encompass 28% of Italia Yachts’ Global Market, With Significant 2023 & 2024 Growth Projections Expected

The new IY43 Veloce

Italia Yachts announced its new line of yachts at a press event held during the Miami International Boat Show, currently running through Feb. 19. Florida-based David Walters Yachts, the exclusive North American dealer of Italia Yachts, has the IY 43 Veloce available now.

Five years after starting management by the Vitulano family, the shipyard presents the first model of the new line as part of its five-year development plan. The announcement is happening just months before production begins at the new shipyard in Fano, central Italy, which is well-known for its highly skilled workers in the marine industry. The new facility is 45,000 sq ft and is dedicated to complete in-house production, from the resin infusion lamination of the hulls to the finished product ready for the sea. 

“For the development and growth of the brand, it is necessary to have a multi-faceted and technologically advanced structure like the one we have today. We have already started building the IY 43 Veloce, and we are certain that, like all Italia Yachts models, she will be immediately recognizable for her unmistakable lines. I have committed myself to ensure that this yacht responds to our philosophy in its strengths: design, technological vision, sporty lines but always elegant and attentive to the environment,” explains Daniele De Tullio, CEO of Italia Yachts. 

The new Italia Yachts 43 Veloce is part of a rather crowded but exciting range. This large segment prompted Italia Yachts to make research a strong point for placing an innovative product on the market.

“We developed the model on a hybrid concept between a pure walkaround and a day cruiser, which is why the interior also has generous space and class-leading headroom. The lines, in general, mimic those of the well-established range of sailboats from Italia Yachts: Its recognition as the IY 43 Veloce is easily recognizable by lines of the hull, with the hull underlined by an unmistakable sheer line, by the long and wide hard top to give greater protection from the elements, from the opening terraces in the cockpit, usually available on larger boats, access to the water or to shore facilitated by the raising and lowering stern platform and two large sunbathing areas, one of which is modular in the cockpit. In the interior, with three different layouts, much importance has been given to the lighting, just as we do for sailing yachts to create an open and welcoming feeling. In contrast, internally and externally, the walkways have been given much attention throughout the boat to ensure that they are always comfortable and safe. Onboard it is important to move easily and safely,” Sebastien Nolasco, General Manager of Italia Yachts, explained.

According to Fabio Pignatelli, Sales Manager of Italia Yachts, “Choosing to present the new IY 43 Veloce in Miami is because we think it is one of the most attractive markets for this design. Since the early stages of the project, the dual power plant option was envisaged to be in line with the Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and American markets. The USA currently occupies around 28% of the Italia Yachts market, with significant growth projections in 2023 and 2024; therefore, they deserve special attention and recognition. For our part, we have structured a dedicated sales network, led in the Americas by David Walters Yachts, to ensure our owners have access to the appropriate skillsets in pre- and post-sales.”

Erik Haaland, Sales Director of Italia Yachts USA and David Walters Yachts, added, “The launch of the IY 43 Veloce is the result of a collaboration between ourselves in the Americas and the Italia Yachts shipyard, creating a yacht that is truly able to be recognized and used in Europe and the U.S. The hull design, interior layouts, systems engineering, amenities, and the choice of Volvo IPS or Mercury outboard propulsion will cater to many of the needs of U.S. boaters. We are confident of the market response and prepared to serve all major yachting areas through our offices in Fort Lauderdale, Annapolis, Marina del Rey, Naples, Palm Beach, Newport, Portsmouth, and St Maarten in the Caribbean.”

The design of the IY 43 Veloce has relied on several industry experts, including naval architectural firm Skyron Studio, which collaborated with the Italia Yachts Design Team, and Arbore & Partners for the interior design.

The official announcement of the launch of the IY 43 was held during a press event near the Miami International Boat Show. Interested parties may inquire for details by contacting [email protected].
