Re: taking car with us
I shipped my car and saved a few thousand $$$. Shipped Roll On Roll Off and no damage. Sent it ahead of time too.
Weigh up the costs:-
1. Sale price in uk < Equivalent car in Oz? Think about shipping + costs.
2. Shipping costs = ? (ours was $8300 all told)
Can you buy the equivalent car with the same kilometerage in Oz for what you sell yours for in the UK? If not then add about $9k to be safe.
It's not too difficult to import but you need to prove you have owned it for more then 12 consecutive months before you'll get an import approval, which must be done before you ship.
