It's alright saying to yourself I'm gonna get x amount for my car when I bring it to OZ but a couple of things to remember base the price on what a dealership will buy it for because if it's worth a few quid people want used car dealership security.
Even with remaining warrenty on a one year old Toyota FJ cruiser motor (bought in OZ) I couldn't sell it in the open market the only people ringing me was car dealers and they dont pay well.
Also if it's a classic your importing there's a good market or was in the boom times. If it's a just a standard motor why would anyone buy it there's a risk parts may need to be imported..
I'd take a standard car to OZ if I planned to run it as long as I could and didn't want to buy a car in OZ.
Plus if your taking anything like a luxury car BMW they can hit you with a luxury car tax. They base it on what the car originally cost not what it's worth in the UK today or what you paid for it in the UK I. E second hand price..
Is it worth bringing my car? The Iron Lady's trusty new calculator reveals all!
