Hi
we are hoping to move out by the end of the year, is it worth shipping your car out. We have 2 quite good cars and they are paid for.

in a word no,if its a collectors car that you want to keep forever then o.k.

i have been told is you take a car over there and sell it you get hammered in duty..

hope this helps..

Hi,
Thanks for responding.Its hard to get an exact figure.Will possibly take hubby's car as it is paid for and it costs more to replace in Oz.

i got offered 4k for mine at christmas ,it is selling for £16k in perth but my agent said to me it is still not worth taking it..if i sold it on in oz they would want it all back in duty...

Aston is right, the general opinion is don't bother! There was a big thread on shipping cars recently so maybe you could search for it.

HI ,
Thanks for the response I've had a bit of a look, so far the opinion has been don't bother.I thinl it would definately make sense to sell mine but hubbys car in Oz cost more than here and I doubt that we would be able to replace it, saying that ,It would probly get canned on the luxury car tax( he wasn't looking to sell it)
Thanks again for responding. I'll have another look for thread.

Firstly try doing a search as the are literally hundreds of threads with both the pros and cons of shipping vehicles already.
