Thanks Geoff, thats enough to give me a basic idea. Its actually less than I expected and for the right car I can see the attraction in importing a car from the UK.
Yeah I have been looking at cars here and keeping in the back of my mind the small chance that we might decide to return to Oz in the future and want to take something back with us. Some cars, say a 911TT, represent big savings over Oz prices where as Gransports are priced much more closely to those in Oz all costs considered. One year old M5's are a bargain!
Astons are certainly rare in Oz, I did briefly consider one but found the models I really liked were only 2 seaters so they were scratched off the list early. A Maser in Oz is a very rare site, in fact only seen at dealers whether those selling cars or drugs
Hi ,Update report on progress. Passed AIQS, now undergoing Compliance work! Should be completed in 2 weeks.Robert,
A warm welcome to the forum, hope to see some pics of your car in Oz when it arrives, gleaming in the sunshine, enjoy your new Maser life.
Cheers

Two weeks Robert, bet it's unbearable!
I don't mind as it it is all Gov't regulation. Import Duty is+ 5% of Purchas Price(PP) ,GST + 10 % of PP and Freight ,Shipping Custom Clearance AIQS Dock fees etc A$2639 , then you have Compliance costs to ADR that needs to be done by a RAWS dealer and this can very . I have a agent for A$10k. Then it is the usual Roadworthy and Registration (and State Stamp duty).In other words about A$20-22k approx on t of car purchase.
Still worth it in my opinion V's what is available in Aus.Particularily if you find the right car colour ,interior combination .

My ex car has been on it travels.
It's a great example, if you need to know anything about it, just ask.
Hi, thanks so much for the offer, it will be good to pick your brain. I can sure you it has gone to a good home!
I have already got my FD DBW.Dickie arranged for new Discs front and rear and Cruise Control to be fitted before shipping. Can't wait to get my hands on it!
