Re: Taking the car to Australia? Are we mad?

Does anybody have any information or experience they might be willing to share? What would customs etc. charge to admit the vehicle? Its UK value is between £10 and £11k.

Are we damned if we do and damned if we don't?

Thanks

G'day

It's probably much cheaper to sell it at a loss and buy another one here. Do you know how much it would cost to buy a similar Landcruiser here? what is the age and model of your car?
