Re: What do people drive!!!
Hi Nisey
We're thinking of selling both our cars and buying a 4x4 over here, then putting it in the container when we go. As you know tax on 4x4's in UK has shot up and you will see a lot of them on forecourts, desperate to be sold.
Just an idea...
btw - Ive just sent you a pm
Cheers

Don't forget you have to own the car for 12 months before shipping or you'll pay 12.5%GST when you get here.

Re: What do people drive!!!
By the time you have bought one and shipped it over and paid out all the fees to get it on the road here it would have been cheaper to buy a Jap import here as we did for around £5500 with a reasonable mileage and in excellent condition.2ton of land cruiser to play with and nowhere you cant take it within reason.Rental cars here are not allowed on non sealed roads and when you see the roads away from the "B" road equivelent and I mean SH 1 and 2 that are not a lot better than an "A" road you will appreciate a 4x4 .Save the cost and use the money to change to dollars and at a good rate get one a lot cheaper.
