Would it be advisable to take a 2006 BMW x5 , 3.0diesel with 120,000 miles,

uk value around £10,000

is the re-sale value affected on this as its an import?

Hi Mike,

 

We certainly can help with the process even if the bike is shipped in a container with your household goods, basically you would arrange with your relocation company to load and ship the bike along with everything else, then we can work with them to oversee the process at this end. I would be happy to calculate the likely costs involved once it hits Australia for you if you can provide the following by email .. please send to me at craig@ironladyimports.com:

 

- year of manufacture

- make, model & variant

- exact engine size

- current mileage

- any special features, options or modification

- realistic current market value

 

- a copy of the registration V5 paperwork

- at least one photo of the bike

 

Cheers,

Red book value $ unknown as currently only 2 in Australia?

Might be 3, looking at taking my 15k miles one across this year aswell,

I spoke to someone in rsoc and was advised it would be worth£30k+,

just need to remember it will be a very limited market if you wanted to sell

Thanks,

will get onto it today

Hi Shaun, yeah the Christmas/NY break has slowed things down a little bit here too! Mind you, we've had 14 cars land in Australia over the break, so there's not much rest for the wicked!

 

If you shoot through the details via the form on the website I'll have a look so you can compare the two. It probably depends on the mileage on the M3 more than anything.

 

Putting the bike in with your personal effects should be fairly straightforward. We can do the import approval or you can do it yourself, but either way we can pick it up once your removal company has cleared the container with all your gear at this end. It's less dramas if they handle the clearance side of things if personal effects are involved.

 

 

 

 

Hi Mike, just jump on the website and shoot through all your details on the quote form, we'll get you sorted.

I have tried to do this but its just for cars, i have decided to just take my BMW motorcycle, i would like to ship it in my houshold container if possible,

Can you do this

Thanks again, just one more question before i go through your website(please dont laugh)

Would it be viable to import a caravan to Aus(2009 fixed bed Bailley Wyoming)

Cheers

Hi Mike,

 

Bearing in mind that you can only import one vehicle under the personal import scheme, I would choose the Focus RS from a financial perspective. The bike may possibly be allowed to come in under a different scheme, but it would be hard work.

Thanks for the reply bud,

Based on answer would you be able to quote on the focus and the bike to help me make my mind up,

Looks like it will be an April move to Brisbane

Thanks again for the help

Mike
