Guest mark78 Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 The major sites when looking online for a car are.. http://www.carsales.com.au http://www.carsguide.com.au (allows you to sell your car for free) http://www.carpoint.com.au http://www.drive.com.au Note: Expect to pay double the price for the same car in Oz, than what you would pay in the UK. This is because of high taxes. On a sunny side though, petrol in oz is about 3x times cheaper than in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ironmaggi Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Apologies Mark - I know you've answered this one a few months ago but unfortunately that job didn't come through, we didn't think we were going to Oz so I didn't keep it....another one has and all is in motion again! Anyway - we have 2 cars bought from new in 03 and 05 worth [new!] £10,000 and £18,000 respectively. I can't find the same model in Oz and I can't work out if it's worth taking one [as the cars are so expensive there] or both or neither! the carshipping site needs the Oz model and keeps crashing too! Help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heathertoes Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Thanks for posting those links Mark - I'm sure hubby will have hours of fun looking through them - hmm - so maybe 'thanks' might not be quite right :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ironmaggi Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Thanks Mark - that tells me about selling - I'm more interested in whether to import or buy "new". As for the double price - do you mean $ to £? I've tracked down a Nissan 4x4 X-trail [that they seem to have UK and Oz] and it's cheaper in Oz $31,000 than UK £16,000 = $38,000 [roughly] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tracked down a Nissan 4x4 X-trail [that they seem to have UK and Oz] and it's cheaper in Oz $31,000 than UK £16,000 = $38,000 [roughly] Sorry, I've just come across your post. Generally, European models are more expensive in oz, due to obvious shipping costs. Also cars over $48K (I think it is) unfortunately attract "luxury car tax". You won't see as many european cars in oz for this reason. Home made Holdens/Fords/Mitsibishi and asian cars are more common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bob and ginnie Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 In South Australia, it pays to check out the Government auction site and check on the prices paid for a near new vehicle, mostly still with factory warranty on them. http://www.auctions.sa.gov.au Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
