Aircon: Yes

Uk Price: approx £3,500

Mileage: 52,000

Fuel type: petrol

I cannot find my car on the redbook website?? What you think? is it worth taking over? changing registration plates? Car tax & insurance for this type of car in WA?

The Australian market value of this car is just not high enough to justify bringing it with you unless you are quite attached to the car and really want to keep it. It would work out to owe you probably around $3,000 more than it would be worth. Probably a better option to sell before you come to Australia if you can get a decent price for it. I hate doing myself out of work but I have to be honest with my advice.

Regards,

Craig.

Hi Craig! Me again just wondering if you could break down the costs on how the car would end up owing me 3,000 dollars. Have you taken into account my partners company are shipping the car over? Sorry for the annoyance it's just we can't buy a new car before we go as we are going in August. If my car broke down would it be easy enough to get the suitable parts?

Thanks Craig.

Hi,

I am going to sell my vauxhall astra 1.9 and buy something more suitable and valuable to take over to Australia. What would you recommend??? I was looking at a 2002 Toyota Celica 1.8 VVTi 3 dr coupe, worth £1000 in uk and on redbook i see similar ones advertised at around $33000 is this correct? can u help????

Thanks for your advice Craig! You have helped me make my decision!!
