Importing From The U.k

[Kujotk]

For the price you pay for a R34 GTR you can get a maserati.

No you can't lol...

Are u sure about that my mate just got a Black with red leather 34,000miles Maserati 3200GT on the road for around $48,000 threw a complience centre in melbourne. He paid 12k pounds for the car from manchester and took him about 4months to have the car landed and on the road. You will see it around chatswood got silver and black plates indian guy driving it.

He paid $50k for a temperamental car that is a UK import with high Milage???? Your friend got ripped off big time... I'd pay that money for an Aussie delivered one, not a grey import one...

GT-R32: Lol if ur thinking of importing a ferrari from the uk go for a 4 seater e.g 456 or 550M cause they tend to lose value over their quicker.

Last thing you should do is buy a UK import 4 seater, for starters they are cheap as shit over here in Australia already (for ferrari prices i mean), 2nd is they don't sell because they are not sought after, and last of all by looking at your other posts you have put up on the subject, I wouldn't believe a single word you say, you have no idea what your on about...

What if someone wanted one of these? Clio V6 MR

Would that be do-able as an import from UK?

[Iron Chef]

Yes it is - from memory it's even listed on the SEVS register. You'd need to be a test car though (and convince a workshop to go through all the testing...)

I refuse all tis gibberish. I will import a F355 and it WILL be cheaper than getting one here.

[Iron Chef]

Lamborghini Gallardo is what you need to be looking at - they're miles cheaper to import.

[Ten Four]

But theyr ghey.

[Tony de Wonderful]

piston heads , ebay and autotrader are the most popular 3 in the uk

I ve seen gallardo's go for 45k ;-0

Like i said i ve a lot of contacts in the motor trade in the uk if anyone needs a hand

Eghey is full of scam artists, be careful.

Cars in the UK can suffer from rust real bad due to salt on the roads.

[Iron Chef]

But theyr ghey.

I beg to differ...

[Ten Four]

Lol, if I somehow managed to save for one and actually import it, I highly doubt I'd have funds left to twin turbo it

F355's are starting @ 10 000GBP in the UK ( too bad their mr2 replicas but look good replicas lol), but 30 000 pounds will get you a decent F355, they range to a top of about 60 000 pounds. Depends on condition ect... but whats the going price here? $130-$220k, the prices in Australia are a joke.

PS: a private import of any car will be harder to sell unless the price is attractive.

A new f430 costs here from $600-$800k depending on extras + onroad costs....

Same car bought brand new in the UK is 180 000 british pounds which = $300k Australian. Our 2nd hand 2005 model f430's don't sell for under $300k here.

I was going to buy a 360 here in OZ ($200k price tag here, or a $80-$90k Aud equivalent over there), but i'm moving to Austria/Germany at the end of 2011, thought i'd wait and actually save the money to buy property in Europe and use the car over there where they can actually be used properly without getting damaged by stupid potholes on sydney roads, not get speeding fines (planning to move to Innsbruck which is only 25 minutes from munichs autobahns).

Also the price of parts are cheap as chips there, MAserati sydney quoted me $8500 for a new throttle body, I bought a genuwine throttle body from the UK, that sourced it from Italy for $2000 including the cost of air freight. I still find it dessapointing by GM and Holden when you can buy a brand new CV8 Monaro cheaper in Europe than you can here in Australia and the cars are made here. This is why so many people and companies have made money importing cars, but importing cheap r32's and r33's arnt where the profits are, the profit is in the high end market
