by big_gordy » Sat Jun 23, 2012 4:40 am

Hi guys, been 6 month since i flew to Sydney and left my beloved car behind and missing it badly, but since im on Oz trying to get it over here i think will be too expensive so the question is should i sell her in 1 peice ? or keep her for when i come home for a month at a time each year ? or break her?

please remember that alot of hard work has went in to her and please no sarcastic comments and try be resectable after all its my baby lol :alright:

i have added this to the site upload atm because im in work so admin please dont take down or can some one move it to there photobucket?

the problem is the shipping and import tax and the cleaning bill (they have to make sure it has no nasty bugs in the car they dont want in their country) is as much as what you couold buy one over ther

your not going to road tax. insure and MOT it for one month if and when you do come back

bit hard to break it from away over there

so only option is to sell

depends if you plan on coming back to stay over here if not then sell it

due to it being a tidy car and not pink anymore its prob worth more as a car than it is in parts

or park it away in secure storage and forget about it for a few years see how oz goes in a few years as prices of good ones seem to be on the up

if it was me id try and sell it for a good price if you dont get the price you want just store it

Depends how much you want the car in OZ with you. As said its probibaly worth keeping in storage for a while as you have put alot of hard work into that car.

You won't get an example like that here in Aus for the cost of importing it.

So if you really love the car and miss it that much bring it over!

I'm struggling to sell mine for $6500 (aus)

Such a small market for them here :(

The trailer would be the only one here afaik too
