Guest Laura G Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Hi guys, Don't know if this is much help, We had a Subaru Imprezza WRX STI it was worth about 15K in the UK in 2006, we looked into shipping it out, but you have to pay GST (equivalent VAT) import duty, the import tax is worked out on what the value is of the car in Australia and not the UK, we were looking at roughly 8,000 pounds including the container, we decided to sell, my OH really misses his favourite car. BMW's really hold their money here as do Porsche's, any German car maker!!!! They do not seem to depreciate in the same way they do in the UK, I saw a really old 316 BMW in the paper it was more than 10 years old and was up for $15000.00AUD Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pasha02 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Hi again, it really is a confusing malarky all this import stuff heh heh, the $8k the guy quoted was just the Oz side of things (i think) you then have the shipping on top of that, if i was you i would e-mail Karmann Shipping and get a quote direct from them, they detail all the smaller costs involved with the import as well, i tried to work out the various taxes,%, etc from the info they gave me and some 3hrs later i came to a figure of around £3800 give or take, no doubt this would be a mile out, and i would have forgotten something basic like magic tree import duty or something :jiggy:, its an on-going research at the moment so if i find anything else that would be of help i will let you know....When and where are you guys looking at going?
