Apologies if this has been asked before (I have searched!) but I could not find a thread. Over here in Ireland getting a car on the road involves buying a car of varying price and then it's the three must haves: Tax- depends on the Co2 output of the engine. Insurance - This depends on the car value and engine size as well as driver factors. NCT/MOT - Again this varies depending on value/age of car. What would the similar breakdown be for registering a car in Oz, SA to be specific. Also in Ireland, usually, the price listed (either by a private seller or a dealer) is negotiable (At a rough guess, 5-10%) Is the same true in Australia. If a car is listed at 20,000 AUD and we offer a dealer 18000AUD in cash, will they laugh at us? Bob

I can highly recommend immigration2oz.com. It's a family run business run by John Adams and they are based in Guildford. I got my Visa via his help when other agents said I didn't stand a chance. The evaluation was free and he helped me greatly when I needed it. Once I signed up, he gave me his mobile number! You can't get more personal than that. And yes he is MARA registered.

Wow. That has me thinking again!!

Thanks Guys, Yes Emirates (tiny iPhone keyboard). Not too worried about luggage arriving late, as long as we arrive on time!

Thanks BCWOrld, appreciate the response

Thanks Guys. That has eased my mind about the stop over. One more question, probably answered before and if it has please feel free to tell me off . Is there a double baggage migrants allowance available with some airlines. I have seen some conflicting info on this

Hi all. We plan on shipping out to Adelaide in August. We have found a great offer via IOM, flying with Ethihad. This includes 40k allowance for each of us (2 adults, 2 children) which is also great. The stop over is in Dubai but the connecting flight to Adelaide leaves 1 and a half hours after we land in Dubai from Dublin. Is this enough time? Both flights are Ethihad. Will we have to collect our baggage and check in again in Dubai or will the baggage be transferred? Would we have to clear customs in Dubai etc? Any help appreciated Bob
