Default Emigrating OZ!!

Constant sunshine, Castlemaine 4X and Vectra VXR8 awaits my transfer to Perth, Australia in about 11 weeks time
Need to sell the 55 plate wrx (standard) in obisidian black, 16k miles, as new condition. What should I be looking for in private sale? Prices seem to vary between Autotrader & Pistonheads etc etc between £10k and £13k.

Cheers

Neil

If i were you i wouldnt worry to much about what i got for the car because i would love to be in your position of getting out of this crap country that i can only see getting worse.Id be gone tommorrow but the wife wont have any of it whilst her parents are still alive.On the other hand my parents have said if they were younger they wouldnt hesitate in getting out of this country.

yeah, unfortunately the rest of my family moved back here and I joined them. Had I known then what a tishhole this country would end up I would have remained there. Hindsight is such WONDERFUL thing.

Australia is wonderful, trouble is 20 million Australians live here...lol. Perth is currently enjoying 41-42c heat. All the best with your move, I guess you're in the mining industry?

No oil industry. Can't wait!! Work is paying for all relocation costs, rent on house for 3 years, car allowance and fuel card (hence the VXR8)

Thanks for all your best wishes, however does anyone have an idea on what the Scooby should be advertised at?

Cheers

Neil

Good to hear your fuel will be paid for because Perth is a long long long long way away from anything.

Do you have any room in your suitcase, say for someone around 6' tall

All the best, I really wish it was me that was going, I keep thinking about Canada, OZ or NZ but not actually got up and done it yet.

As everyone else says sick of the nanny state here, and all the other bits.

Do it Eddie...and if you need an account of my experiences with immigration since 1995, in NZ and Oz, I'm willing to tell all, well all the bits you need to know anyway.

PS Nanny state here and in NZ too.
