Default Do I ship the Car?

Can anyone give us some advice on wether or not it is worth shipping the family car over to Perth?. Its a VW Passat and is about a year old. Any help would be appreciated.

Sell before you go, my brother emigrated in March and took his car and as soon as it ran into trouble it cost him a small forture to get replacement parts ordered. I've sold mine, because of this.
4 weeks to go (Hoping)

Not worth shipping. Customs duties/fees are too high over here. For the price you could end up paying for shiping and custom charges, you might be better off buying a fairly decent car for the same amount
