Personal Import Laws

[The_Paladin]

hi guys

i've been thinking bout my life plan and how i can get a half decent car for when i'm a bit older. i reckon 2nd hand cars in Australia are a rip off thanks to the 'drive till they die' culture and and if the SEVS import laws dont change i wouldnt want to import one because it's quite clear that the government discourages that by making it a minefield of risk (accident damage etc).

so i've been thinkin about going back to the UK to live again for a few years in a few years time..............i could buy a car here (cheap european stuff) and take it back on a personal import........

has anyone here had experience with personal imports?? and does anyone reckon the government is going to crack down on those laws like they did to the 15 year rule etc?

cheers

The number of personal imports is very small so i dont think the gov will bother changing the law.
