Andy2577 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 firstly i would like to opolojise if this topic has been covered before but i cant seem to find any information relative to my question. as i understand it a motor vehicle cannot be imported into Australia unless you are a permanant resident and have a fixed address in australia. My question is this :- I am looking at buying my dream car "Ford Escort Cosworth" but seeing as i am moving out this year i will only be buying the car this year and as far as i know the vehicle in question has to have been owned in the host country by myself for a period of 12 months continuesly . What i am wondering is ....... is there a way i can get the vehicle out to australia once i have a permanant residency ,knowing full well that i wouldnt have owned the car for the 12 month period in the UK ? I hope i have explained it so you can all understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy1 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 "owned and used" the car i think is the correct phrase............and if you have not.......... you face customs who could in theory take the car I imagine. In my opinion not worth the risk unless you have money to burn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
