They would but I am conscious that a lot of the universal / lower cost ones are bad for fuel consumption and noise in use.

This: the Thule roof bars I have on the A4 are silent. Even with a 9'6 on the roof. It's definitely a consideration. Maybe get the stealthy bars: http://www.rhinorack.com.au/products/roof/roof-racks/vortex/vortex-stealthbar-black-2-bar-roof-rack_ja7976

Then when you sell the car you can recover most of the cost. As you say, they are still $400 second hand.

Yeah, i might keep hunting for some second hand, and there's a real chance that if we change cars as long as the roof rails are proper ones like the suby has, I should be able to transfer them across as required.

Or buy a Ute.
