I think about it, having seen second hand cars in australia - aren't cheap, mileage is high, for the same price in the UK I can buy younger car, and lower mileage, but I don't know costs of shiping and paperwork with duty officers; if someone knows, please, let me know.

Search the forum as the question has been asked many times before.

General consensus is it's not worth it.

Its about 800 to 1000 quid to ship it and about 450 to 600 for clearingcustoms and on the road

Then they tax you on the value of the car and then GST all of it.

Buy a cheap new Jap car, they never go wrong and parts are plentiful.

Unless your company are paying then go for it
