For what it's worth I agree with Trevor on the import.

The little I know about Australian imports indicates they have made it difficult and expensive to import second hand into Australia in an effort to keep out cheap Japanese second hand motors. This legislation will be a blunt instrument, and will apply to yours as well.

In addition, you will be bringing a lhd motor onto rhd roads. Not ideal, though you get used to it, but the cars are worth less to the local market because of the unideal driving set-up. You will probably be penalised [brutalised?] by the insurance on it as well.

It would be a better plan for you to look ahead before the move, sell yours in good time, and have an Australian car lined up with the proceeds. Nothing is impossible.

Where are all the Down Under posters??
