Here is how the proccess works...
For example you see a good car going for sale onj-spec from japan for 500,000YFOB.
You tell J-spec you want the car, they say ok transfer the money to this account bla bla. You send the money of the car value converted to AUD plus $1,000 to jspec for there flat rate fee ..
OK now after that. Say your car can be eligble to import in September you wait till september then you send the VIA( Victorian Import Approval ) form to DOTARS and then you attach $50 of anykind or pay by credit card...
You also attach the De-Reg form J-spec sends you and also some proof that its the correct chasis number you put on the form.....
OK now the next step.
You wait till you recieve you import approval from DOTARS , then you scan and send everything you got from DOTARS ( forms , there is 3 you get )
Once that is done your car will be put on the next boat AVAILABLE to come to australia.
Insurence for everything in your car is around $600~AUD
All you get is standard insurence on just the car itselF! accesories to the car is optional! - stupid eh! lots of theifs on the fkn ships!
After that your car will land in australia and then it will go threw customs.
Once that is done you tell vicroads you want a temporary car rego to drive your car home ( or to the compliance/engineering centre).....
once that is done you drive your car there wait till its ready and drive straight out to vicroads and get your car rego'd!!
BOOOOO its a long process!
