Iron Chef Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 Mike I replied in the other thread, but given that you can only bring one vehicle over through the personal import scheme, the RS is the best option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Hi Iron Chef (Love you're company name by the way!) I am coming to Adelaide in August ( Company sale permitting) and I was hoping to take my Suzuki Swift with me. Before I contact agents and removals I hoped you might tell me if I'd be wasting money or not by importing it. Here's the info required if you have the time to do it. - year of manufacture = 2010 - make, model & variant = Suzuki Swift, 1.3 Sz3 5 Door - body type (coupe, convertible, etc) = Hatchback - engine size & fuel type = Unleaded Petrol 1.3L - transmission = Manual - drive type (4WD, front wheel drive, etc) = Front Wheel Drive - mileage = Will be approx 24000KM by August - any special features, options or modification = Standard model - does it have aircon = Yes Aircon - realistic current UK market value = £5500 - Australian RedBook value = Not sure about this as it doesn't have my model but at a guess $10000 - Australian market value = $16000 - which Australian state/city = Adelaide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Chef Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 Sorry for the slow responses guys, two massive Christmas functions at Casa Del Iron Chef (for 40 people each!) then New Year celebrations at ours again has slowed down things a bit! Dear Iron Chef, Please guide me: I want to take my 1) Mitsubishi Pajero Automatic 4 x 4, Model 2012 5 doors 3.5 liter enigne V6, 5 doors (LWB) only 5000 KM on the meter with Air Con and other options top of the range. Its value here (Dubai) is around 35,500/- AUD Proabably in Australia it will be around 60,000/- AUD 2) Toyota Prado 3 door (SWB) Model 2009 and its also full option with Air Con and others value in Dubai Around AUD 20,000/- and I dont know how much in Australia. I will try to bring either of them. Advise which one is better to bring and how much it cost approximately. As pwkl said, best to leave them there only because you'd be looking at $10,000 at least to convert them to RHD. In the end it's not the money, it's having little niggly things go wrong (like, purely hypothetically, the accelerator pedal is slightly different and the wear causes holes in your carpet) that would drive you nuts! Having said that Prado 3-doors were never sold here, so you would end up with something that was worth good money to 4WD nuts. Hi mate peugeot 207 2008 petrol aircon 31k miles £4000 Paul Hi Paul, can you go back and list all the info I mentioned in the first post? I need it all so we can compare. Hi we have a vauxhall zafira reg 2005,( with air con) mileage 68,000, UK value approx £3,700, aus value $7,900 Is it worth bring it or not? It's a C, so sell it off, unfortunately the Zafira was never a big seller here. Hi Iron Chef (Love you're company name by the way!)

It's probably a B, being a 1.3 reduces its appeal here somewhat. It's not worth much in the UK which helps the case for bringing it over.

Rallyman Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 From my understanding if you have had any structural work done it would need a engineers report and maybe a lot of extra work to comply over here or they do a rally car rego which would allow you to drive on roads during a rally. i have a works spec GpA 205 at home in uk collecting dust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistically, it's just into a category C, but there's no equivalent diesel-powered small MPV on sale here, so bring it over if you love its combo of good points. The A3 is coming out as a B, but the only equivalent model we got here was a poverty-spec model aimed at fuel misers. I'd be inclined to bring it, as the extra features would help its resale later on. Hi Iron Chef !! I have a MINI ONE (2011) Registered June 2011 with 7500k, UK Value 9K, Redbook $19K - $21K This has bluetooth, pepper pack, aircon etc .... how does this look ? Thanks Tony Hi Tony, missing a few bits of info, but at a glance it's a category A in the calculator. Hi Iron Chef,Here are the stats:- 2007 Volvo S40 1.6 petrol, air con, heated(!!) leather seats, alloys 89k miles worth £4500 in UK and $15000 in Aus. I'm living in Ireland so I'm just trying to get a sense of whether it would be worth the hasle. Thanks a mil, Fabscouter Hi Fabscouter, for shipping on RORO, we allow GBP300 to get it across from Dublin to Southampton, then normal costs from there. I would've said it was an 'A' but we never got an engine smaller than a 2.4 litre in the S40 here, so I'd pull it back to a B - only bring it if you want to keep it for a while. If you're planning on doing lots of country driving, remember you will need to plan ahead before overtaking road trains Hi.....2006 BMW320i 36.000miles, petrol, air con, leather interior..... value in UK £8500 and in Oz 21,000Thanks Smack bang in the middle of category B - low mileage helps its cause though, if you were thinking of bringing it. would i be able to take a mk 2 escort grp 4 spec over to oz? perth , cosworth YB turbo engine? whats the rules around these please? another one o ma toys am afraid, thanks stevie Well you can bring it in (I would highly advise getting our help on this one though), but getting it registered would take a bit of work. It's not impossible though. As rallyman says, it will need an engineer's certificate for the engine change. From my understanding if you have had any structural work done it would need a engineers report and maybe a lot of extra work to comply over here or they do a rally car rego which would allow you to drive on roads during a rally. i have a works spec GpA 205 at home in uk collecting dust Rally registration allows you a little more freedom than that Message me if you'd like help getting the 205 over, I can get it sorted. If it was a group B rather than a group A, I would have been foaming at the mouth! i did think this wud be a hassle but would like to take it over, the car wud never be on road jist a play thing for me , odd track event etc No problems at all then, but like I say, best to get some help with the application side of things at the very least.
