Iron Chef Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 Hi Iron Chef ours is Toyota Avensis 2l td aircon 2004 54 plate, £2,300 can't find similar in your red book sorry, thanks Ugh this is a tricky one - realistically it's only going to break even in terms of price (assuming it would be worth $10K here). The Avensis wasn't sold here (aside from the Verso) but being TD is a big tick in it's favour. I'd do some research on what other European diesel models are available here for around the $10K mark before considering bringing it over. Hi Iron Chef. We are looking at coming over in the new year see the details below and let me know what you think. Think it may be worth selling or taking with? Let me know what you think. Cheers Kev - 2009 - Ford Focus ST3 - 5 Door Hatch - 2.5 Petrol - 6 Speed manual - FWD - 42,000 Miles - Full Recaro Leather, Heated Seats, Sat Nav, Rear Privacy Glass, IR Heated Front Windscreen etc (Genuine Ford Options) - Air Con - realistic current UK market value approx £11,000 - Australian RedBook value for the Ford Focus XR5 Turbo (Pretty Much the same car) $20,400-$22,900 - Australian market value $27,000-$29,500 is what a 2009 is selling for private sale - Western Australia. Perth/Peel I'm a little surprised at those figures, as it's currently spitting out Category C for me. I'm guessing that the spec on the ST3 may well be a good deal higher than the XR-5 turbo, so make sure you're comparing apples to apples before you decide to leave it behind. Hi there I have a Mini but not sure whether or not to take this over, details are: MINI One - 1.4 Petrol 2009 9,000 miles 6 speed manual Uk value in region of £8000 Cannot find mini One on Redbook but given price of other minis would estimate at around $25 - 30 as other makes all in excess of $30,000. Thanks for your help Being a 1.4 will probably make it worth closer to $20K here, which puts it as a Category B. Low mileage will help its cause. year of manufacture 2007- make, model & variant VW T5 motor caravan - body type (coupe, convertible, etc) LWB - engine size & fuel type 2.5 - transmission man - drive type (4WD, front wheel drive, etc) - mileage 92,000 - any special features, options or modification - does it have aircon yes - realistic current UK market value £15,000 thanks Motorhomes are always a safe bet, category A, especially if that 2.5 is a diesel.

Category C, the costs to bring it over put it just above what it would be worth here, although yours has very low mileage. If you were planning to keep it for a long time, it may still be worth doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big bird 12 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Hi Iron Chef I'm not sure if you can advise me but here goes! I am thinking of taking our 01 v/w L35 camper van to Oz with us. It's a German import, left hand drive. It's worth about 24,000 euro here but because it's not a common model it's hard to get an exact valuation. I think campervans are expensive in Oz so I thought it might be worth our while taking it! ( not going to be able to sell it here due to current economic climate) I have no idea how I'd get an Australian valuation doubt they even have such a model out there! Any help would b great Regards bigbird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Chef Posted October 27, 2012 Author Share Posted October 27, 2012 Welcome to PIO to all the first time posters in here! Make sure you look around year of manufacture - 2001make, model & variant - Toyota MR2 Roadster (Spyder) body type - Convertible engine size & fuel type - 1.8 Turbo & Petrol transmission - Manual drive type - Rear wheel drive mileage - 24,500 any special features, options or modification - Hardtop, Leather, most dealer options (except AC). Few modifications, main one being a Turbo does it have aircon - No realistic current UK market value - £6,000 Australian RedBook value - $44,990 (stock) Australian market value - $18-20,000 which Australian state/city - Melbourne, Australia Thanks Realistically it's probably a category B, but because of the turbo conversion I'd advise you to bring it - it would be a $10K conversion if you had to get one done here, which changes the equation a fair bit. Sounds like a bit of fun, that car! Hi, would you be able to help with the following please? - year of manufacture - 2005 - make, model & variant - Audi A3 S-Line - body type (coupe, convertible, etc) - 5dr Hatch - engine size & fuel type - 2.0TDi - transmission - automatic - drive type (4WD, front wheel drive, etc) - Front Wheel - mileage - approx 98,000 Miles - any special features, options or modification - none - does it have aircon - Yes - realistic current UK market value - £4,500 It drops into category B, but bear in mind I'm basing resale on the plain-Jane diesel models sold here - we never got the S-line in a diesel, so it may hold more appeal. Hi i have a 1978 LHD VW westfalia, rust free cali import, 2000cc, approx £15k we are thinking of bringing it, but expect it to be in the personal preference bracket. This is more of a 'how long is a piece of string' question, as it's a little hard to put a value on it. I'm presuming it holds sentimental value either way . It would probably not give you a windfall money wise, but it would certainly be an interesting addition to Aussie roads. Hi. Could you please plug these into your calculator?

Any help would b great Regards bigbird Ok first things first - it would need to be converted to RHD, which will be a right pain in the bum. Bearing in mind that may set you back the best part of $10K alone, I would say it's probably best not to try it unless you REALLY love it. Edit - just read the Euro value. Sell it there.

Cheers. Welcome! Those prices are similar to the Golf listed just before. The big problem for you is the 1.2 litre engine, which is smaller than what we got in our models. Look if you're planning on holding on to it for a while, then bring it over. But don't rely on it being a money spinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
