Had an email back from the importing people in Australia, the national authority who i suppose regulates the importation of cars for personal use; you can basically sell the car straight away, there is no time limit on owning the vehicle prior to sale after arriving in Australia.

Hi, the scenario............ I am a PR resident in Australia, i am a citizen in the UK, i am planning on returning back to Australia in 18 months time, i have lived there before for 12 months, and have been back here in the UK for the Past 18 months. I have £100k to spend on a car here in the UK, i want to exchange the cash into Australian dollars, but at the current exchange rate, well it will cripple me as my spending power in Australia will be terrible. I am going to buy a car, store it for 12 months, or buy a car and backdate the ownership date 12 months on purchasing the car, so a prerequisite on buying the car will be the seller must agree to back date the purchase date by 12 months. Will this be a problem in any way? I have £100k to spend on a german model below, any recommendations for maximum profit when i sell in Australia. 1. BMW 2. Mercedes 3. Porsche Or any advice on a maximum profit value car up to £100k. On arriving in Australia with my car, can i sell it straight away, or do i have to keep it for a period of time before i can sell it? I am heading to Queensland, will register it in Queensland, and ship it to Brisbane. Any advice appreciated, i am basically preserving the value of my Sterling by purchasing an assett in Sterling, shipping it to Australia, and exchanging the assett into Australian dollars so to maximise the exchange rate through assett value appreciation in Australia but also nominal assett cuurency value.
