Ricky G Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 4 hours ago, Iron Chef said: Ok it makes sense to bring it over, as the prices of an equivalent here would be much higher. From memory, the Movano is a rebadged Renault, is it not? In which case parts won't be a problem here. A couple of caveats - 1) the cost of shipping will rely heavily on whether or not you can get it into a container, 2) no aircon could be problematic in Qld - it may be cheaper to fit aircon to the back section than to fit to the factory air-con (obviously bearing in mind you wouldn't be able to use it while you were driving if you took that option, but it's something to consider). Thank you very much for this. Yes, it's a rebadged Renault / Opel (depending on what country you're in). I think you're right about the best option being to fit air con into the back section. I believe it can be wired it to operate both when you're driving as well as stationary. Looks like the high shipping containers are 2.65 metres and the campervan is 2.72, so perhaps won't fit. Bit of a shame because there's lots of space in the camper to fit other household belongings, which I assume you could do if it was in a container.

That's correct - email me if you want to discuss it further, we may be able to squeeze it into a container with a bit of clever packing.

bry45 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Hi all I'm new to this thread, but have just got it from a posting on the parent visa thread. We are 1 year in to our 143 application and are wondering if we should take our car, but don't know costs and if we should. We bought a Land Rover Discovery 4 brand new in 2014 and I love it. First time I've ever owned a new car and probaly the last now that we're spending $100k on the visa. I'd love to take it with us, so was wondering if anyone could guide me on what it would cost and if we can indeed take it. Thank's in advance for any input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By rights, you are meant to pay out on existing finance prior to the vehicle leaving, but some shipping companies will ask for an HPI check, while others don't. Read into that what you will.

Sending cars back to UK is much cheaper than sending them here (presuming you've owned the car for more than 6 months). The current model Carnival is a pretty decent rig. Bear in mind the UK resale on a petrol version may not be as good if they also sell a diesel model there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
