Ship the Jeep?

[Guest macfamily]

Would really appreciate any advice we can get on this. After making enquiries on here previously we had decided not to take OH commercial jeep to Perth. Today we had a surveyor out from Crown and he reckons for the type of jeep OH has, they're very expensive out there and maybe it would be worthwhile taking it with us so we started to think again....would be so handy to have it when we get there and one less thing to purchase! Also in the current climate here we wont get the proper sale value of it. Now the question after all that....it's a Toyota Landcruiser gx shortwheel base, 3 litre D4D engine, 2006. The problem is that upon looking up various different Oz websites we cannot find this particular model - does anyone know if you can get this type out there? No point even considering it if we can't get parts, repairs etc. Thanks

For info, I'm shipping my car to Brisbane and am currently awiating the export document. However, yesterday, I received the following email from them requesting the necessary information. Seems its not now as straightforward to ship your car even if you want to. Fortunately I can meet the 100 points. Annoyingly though, but totally separate issue, moved out of our house on thursay into rented house for a couple of weeks till we go, and woke up this morning to find a massive key scratch all along the side - gotta go in for a full side respray now on monday - not happy!!

thanks for reply Julzcary, there's nothing straightforward is there?? A rotton thing for somebody to scrape your car at any time but especially now! Hopefully things will be onwards and upwards from now on! Good luck in Oz
