How much can cost to ship a car to Oz from the UK?
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.

General consensus is it's not worth it.

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
