Want To Buy A Car From Overseas

[JunglBoi]

Hey guys i'm thinking of buying a car from the UK

but was wondering

has anyone done this kind of thing before?

What kinda cost am i looking at?

shipping cost generally?

and how do i comply the vehicle with adr

i'm planning to buy and audi TT

so will it be hard to register?

any help would be great

thanks

Unless you're planning to live there and own the car for 12 months... no chance. You can then import it as a personal import.

Someone correct me if i'm wrong, but if a parallel model of a vehicle is sold in australia you cant get it complied (nor registered obviously).

There are a few importers floating around the forum, so ask them. I think they'll pretty much echo the above.

The cost for that all up, to save the hassle, an Aussie one wouldn't be that much more, I'd save a bit more and get an Aussie delivered tt

exactly.. not to mention warranty and all that which you get for the locally delivered unit.

Speaking of TT's, boss bought a new TT-S.. I must hit him up for a drive! Specs look ok, but I wouldnt pay $90k for it. I should probably wait till after a drive to say that though

lol i'm not buying a new 1

just looking at like a 2002 model or sumthin

main reason i'm looking overseas is becasue they dont seem to have yellow 1's around here

and saw 1 in UK and with conversion rate its about 21k which is pretty reasonable for the quattro TT

erm... pretty sure the 2002 TT was sold here........ did you even read my post?

Just get a local one. Easier mate.

yeh i read ur post, was just explaining y i thought overseas thats al LOL

yeh think i just go local then...no choice really...

ok new question...if i buy interstate

how does it work with the rego?

do i have to cancel that rego and get a new 1 here?

of can i transfer?

not sure how that works

i know some guys here have bought interstate before so just wanted to know

thanks

yes there were plenty of yellow TTs delivered here

and for 21k your MUCH better off buying one locally....

www.rta.nsw.gov.au for the rest of your questions

you have to cancel and transfer into your name seeing as your not a resident interstate
