Alex,

if I had $4000 to spend on Astro gear, this would be VERY tempting at the price from Andrews:


C9.25-SGT 9.25" Go-To XLT
235mm x 2350mm
$3699.00 AUD

* Includes Starbright XLT ultra-high transmission coatings
* 6 x 30 finderscope
* 25mm E-LUX eyepiece
* 1.25" star diagonal
* CG-5 Go-To equatorial mount with 50mm steel tripod legs
* "The Sky - Level 1" CD-ROM

*Items supplied in C9.25-SGT XLT telescope package
C9.25-SGT XLT package includes;
9.25" aperture Schmidt-Cassegrain OTA with Starbright XLT coatings, 6 x 30 finderscope, 25mm E-Lux eyepiece (94x mag.), 1.25" star diagonal, 1.25" visual back (C11 SCT has 2" visual back), "The Sky - Level 1" CD ROM, Heavy duty CG-5, German equatorial mount with dual-axis slew motors and a computerised hand controller which has a 40,000+ object database, car battery adaptor, rugged adjustable height 50mm dia. steel leg tripod with centre brace and accessory tray, plus two 5kg. counterweights.

Sorry, can't help with an idea about a car, fridge or any other items.
