To take the car?
We've heard all the info about electrical goods - but what about the car?? Any thoughts?
Has anyone taken a car with them - what were the shipping costs like? Do the cars need lots of checks before they are approved as OK to use in Australia? Could this be too expensive - would it be cheaper to buy a car once in Australia. |

Taxes on a Mazda MX5 worth £10K including shipping fees (£1K-£2K) worked out between £7k-£8. The depreciation laws changed around 1998 - do a search for cars on this forum and you'll see many similar replies. It's a pain but probably better to bite the bullet and sell up before you go.

I work in the industry in Adelaide sth aust, [GRACE REMOVALS GROUP],as to cost this varys on the size/type of vehicle,we had a BMW SERIES 5, in recently from the U,K,the guy realised, that with ship/costs added,he would have broken even on buying the same,car here,,,most cars register here [x-uk]with no problems, unless its an unusual model, ie ,antique. regards paul |
