Guest Guest67761 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Hi there, I have a 2004 Toyota RAV4 2.0 XT4, manual, 5 door, gbp 5000, aud 10,800-12,900, 40,500 miles, air con. Can you advise if it is worth bringing? Also, apologies if this has been covered as I haven,t read all 68 pages of posts, what is your over estimated cost of customs clearance? Thanks, Elaine Hi Elaine, We have replied to your cost estimate request through the website already. Please let us know if you have not received it for some reason or need any further information at all. Cheers, Craig Moor Iron Lady Imports Hi iron chef ford transit 2003 MWB medium roof 76,000 miles one owner from new well looked after was thinking of filling it with carpenter tools and shipping in container ? It's hard to advise on work vans without a lot more information as they can sometimes not be worthwhile bringing due to low value if they are high mileage and/or in rough condition, but could be well worthwhile if they are in excellent condition, modified or fitted out for your specific purposes, etc. so although we may be able to give you an overall cost estimate, the actual decision on if it's worth bringing to Australia will most likely be your choice. To get an estimation of the costs involved and/or more information about the process you should fill out the form online at http://www.ironladyimports.com/cost-estimate with as much information as possible including any noted about the vehicle (number of seats, modifications, condition, etc) so we can give you the most accurate information. Cheers, Craig Moor Iron Lady Imports Hi Iron Chef Are you able to offer your advice, we're moving to Sydney from London in March and are unsure about the car? - year of manufacture - 2006 - make, model & variant - Audi A4 - body type (coupe, convertible, etc) - convertible - engine size & fuel type - 1.8T Petrol - transmission - manuel - drive type (4WD, front wheel drive, etc) front wheel - mileage 43000 - any special features, options or modification - does it have aircon - yes - realistic current UK market value - £9 - Australian RedBook value (www.redbook.com.au - click through to the page with 'Private Price Guide', 'Trade In Price Guide' and 'Price When New' listed, then tell us the 'Private Price Guide' range) £29k - Australian market value (http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/search.aspx - search for the closest matching vehicle) - £26k - which Australian state/city - NSW Hi Taryn, Please check the email reply to your cost estimate received through our website. If you need any more information then please let me know, otherwise if you wanted to get started with the process then I will send you a list of the paperwork required.

The smallest engine variant sold in this year in Australia was a 1400cc so if yours is only 1300cc then it would probably be a little more costly for insurance and would certainly sell for a little less than an Australian delivered model. Other than that the costs to get it into Australia and on the road would probably result in your total investment being a little more than the car would be worth to sell. If you decide that you want to look further at bringing the car with you, you had another car that you wanted to consider, or just had any other questions then please feel free to ask.

You have already submitted a cost estimate request through our website so please check the reply to that in your email for more details and a full cost breakdown. Cheers, Craig Moor Iron Lady Imports Can I take my Golf to Australia? I only bought the car in June last year. I am presuming this is a problem? it's a 60 plate and got less than 10k miles. Hi Joseph, The requirements under the Personal Import Scheme is that you must have owned and used the car overseas for at least 12 months before moving to live in Australia, so if you are not moving here until around June this year or later then it shouldn't be any trouble, however if you are moving to Australia before June then it's unlikely that you would get approval to bring the car unless you had a very good reason for needing to go sooner in which case we might be able to get a special administrator approval. Message me here or email at craig@ironladyimports.com if you needed to know more. Cheers, Craig Moor Iron Lady Imports HI Iron Chef I didn't think about bringing my car over until I saw this post.

Thanks This car may be worthwhile importing depending on the exact specification and condition. The cost will vary a little depending on these things and also where you are moving to in Australia, but should be somwhere on the fence so I would put it in Category B. Cheers, Craig Moor Iron Lady Imports 1. 2001 Suzuki Jimny (Aircon can be fitted). Very low mileage2. £2500 3. $5,500-7,500 Thanks Unfortunately this one would be a Category C so it would not be worthwhile bringing it with you just because of the costs involved, unless you were really attached to the car and the costs is not so much of a concern. If you still wanted to consider bringing it and were looking for a breakdown of the likely costs involved then please complete the cost estimate request form on our website at http://www.ironladyimports.com/cost-estimate Cheers, Craig Moor Iron Lady Imports Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are very strict on the 12 months ownership and will almost never approve anyone earlier unless you have very good reason to leave for Australia sooner. We frequently see applications submitted early which are held and only approved once that 12 months anniversary has been reached. It's also worth mentioning again that you must own and use the car yourself outside Australia for the 12 months, so if you move to Australia after only 11 months and still own it for another month then it will not count. With that said I am happy to help put together the strongest application possible an submit it early to see what we can get through for you but there will be no guarantees. As for the viability of bringing this car with you, it seems that you would want to hold onto it so on that basis alone it would most likely be worthwhile, otherwise from a purely financial point of view it should still be quite worthwhile due to the low mileage, above average condition and higher specification.

If you were thinking of importing it to Australia to sell fairly soon and hoped to make a little more money than you would get back home then it might not be worthwhile unless it was a outstanding example, otherwise if you were looking to keep it for a while then it could be worth bringing with you. We would need to know all of the details before we could give a decent cost estimate, so please fill out the cost estimate request form on our website for more detailed information: http://www.ironladyimports.com/cost-estimate Cheers, Craig Moor Iron Lady Imports Thank you for you help Craig @ Iron Lady.

If you found that it was worth a little less in the UK in the end then it would be even better value to bring to Australia.

The cost to import it and get it on-road will vary a little depending on it's exact build date and which state you are moving to, etc. If it's late 1988 (we should be able to check from the VIN number if you private message me) then we have options of how to import it. Overall it should end up owing you just a little less than the replacement value here in Australia. When were you looking at moving, how soon do we need to get the ball rolling on the process for you?

fari447 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Dear Craig, I have asked my question before also but wa not able to get the precise answer as I didnt brought forward the full facts to you. I have Mitsubishi Pajero, GLX, 6 Cylinder 3.5 liter engine petrol, Automatic with full options with so many things. It is a Left hand drive as I am in UAE right now. The price for new vehicle when I bought it in August 2012 was equivalent to AUS$ 35k. The red book price for the same specification of car is AUS$ 74K ( I can have a range rover sports 2011 or lexsus 470 or any other highend vehicle in this amount in UAE as prices of vehicles seems more than double in OZ) that means almost double to UAE price. You told me before that converting this car to RHD will take about AUS$ 10k so If as a permanent residence who is moving to OZ if I spent even 10k on conversion it will cost me half of the price then OZ. Please also note that conversion to RHD is relatively cheaper in UAE around AUS$ 5k. What is your advice regarding converting it in UAE and bringing it to OZ or converting it in OZ but even with that I will be able to save around 20-30K. The other option that I buy a 2nd hand RHD car which are available for export in UAE but I think I must own that car for one year before I can imprort it to OZ? or there is any exception or options available for permanent residence moving in OZ for first time? I am insisting on bringing car from UAE because of very high prices of cars in OZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you buy another car and wanted to ship that to Australia instead then you would need to own and use it in UAE for at least 12 months, so this would not be an option unless you were moving to Australia in February 2014 or later. There is no special exemption for anyone moving to Australia. It sounds like you have a good option to convert your existing car to RHD before shipping to Australia, but please make sure the conversion is good quality using original parts and you should be fine.

Thank you, great thread! :0) -year of manufacture 2005 - make, model & variant Landrover Discovery 2.7 TDI HSE - body type (coupe, convertible, etc) 5door 4WD - engine size & fuel type 2.7 v6 TDI - transmission Automatic - drive type (4WD, front wheel drive, etc) 4WD - mileage 97000 - any special features, options or modification seven seats, roof mounted DVD player factory fit, sat nat factory fit - does it have aircon YES - realistic current UK market value £12,000 - Australian RedBook value (www.redbook.com.au - click through to the page with 'Private Price Guide', 'Trade In Price Guide' and 'Price When New' listed, then tell us the 'Private Price Guide' range) $35,000 - Australian market value (http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/search.aspx - search for the closest matching vehicle) $30,000 - which Australian state/city QLD The figures on this one stack up quite well so I would suggest that you look into importing it to Australia with you. It should end up owing you a decent amount less than what it would cost to replace here, so it should be an easy decision if you are in a position to bring it along. For more information or a breakdown of the likely costs involved please visit our website and will out the cost estimate request form at http://www.ironladyimports.com/cost-estimate and I will be happy to do a full calculation for you.
