Hi everyone, has anyone taken a car with them off the SEVS list and was it financially worth doing it? I am in the process of selling my house and was finding ways of making a few extra quid as the exchange rate is dire at the moment -thanks Ian

Why would you be importing it under SEVS, what model are you looking at.

Ianevs

I was thinking of a 360

Then you won't want to use SEVS it would be a standard import, I am sure the 360 was imported into Australia as an official import, it will cost a few quid though depending on year

Ianevs

I thought you had to own the vehicle for 12 months on a standard import

australianinleicester

can you tell me the exact model, the variant, any model code if you know and year and month of manufacture

Alfresco

You do.

that should keep you busy for a while, the cargo online site can give you an idea of all the costs involved, you need to understand that while you can make money this way the government has made it difficult.
