unzippy Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Hi everyone, my apologies I have been away on holiday, and now also organising charity events (not that you probably wanted to know THAT much info, but even still!) Unzippy, at those numbers I'd sell it in the UK if you can get that kind of money for it. Thanks for that, what would the ball park figure be if we did decide to take it?

Iron Chef Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 I presume it's the new model, yeah?

Iron Chef Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 I would look at bringing that over, most premium brands in the 2-3 year age range are good prospects.

pm79 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Thanks Iron Chef. Really appreciated. Can I also check my wife's car with you. Initially we were thinking of taking only 1 car but somebody told me that it might be cheaper to take 2 cars because I might save some money in container's cost. The only problem is that it is in our Limited company's name and we both are the only directors. So not sure if it's allowed to take our company's car. I asked few people but nobody could give a straight answer for that. My other concern would be that we will be renting initially so will have problem charging it.

Sharing parts with the Up certainly helps for servicing, but only bring it if you love it and want to keep it for a long time - bear in mind that when you sell, no-one will know what it is, or be looking for one.

DukeNinja Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Thanks IronChef. We definitely want to have a vehicle in Aus, and having heard how difficult it can be to get a decent used car there, I was thinking maybe it would be better to one from the UK, that I know the history of.

pope6 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 its worth bearing in mind that there are ways in Australia to buy vehicles for less that carsales.com prices and below redbook. i realize its not for everyone, but for example auctions in Australia are far more transparent than the uk. the bidding process is more transparent - no bids "off the wall", and all newer vehicle come with vehicle inspection reports - detailing faults. I've been involved in car sales in uk and australia and also looked into importing. Thats not to say in some circumstances its not worth it - but for bread and butter vehicles you need to look beyond the straight redbook price. for example is it Australian spec (will main agents recognize the VIN and have all the parts). There are plenty of cars that in UK are diesel but mainly sold in Australia in petrol. As unlikely as it sounds big petrol engined vehicles (which no one wants in uk and so are worth next to nothing) maybe best to bring out here - for example land cruiser and BMW X5 V8 petrol. Friendless in the UK but in demand out here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
