Guys (& Gals),

I have agreed to help my Uncle buy a Porsche so that he can import it to Australia (where he resides). Apparently if it is over 15 years old he does not have to pay tax on it as an import.

Therefore I am looking to buy a 1985/86 Porsche Carrera (non turbo) I have seen quite a few at around the 10K – 15K mark.

Does anyone have any experience with these or Porsches in general – tips, sources for buying would be useful. Obviously I want to get a good price, but not a dog.

Also has anyone exported cars abroad – do you have to pay UK tax?

Any help/advice would be appreciated.

I’m just looking forward to the test drives…..

Cheers

Richard

 

For general Porsche advice, good cars and service I can recommend:

 

I think either Dec 00 or Jan 01's Classic & Sportscar has an artical on buying s/hand 911's.

C&S's Buying s/shand articles are generally good, inforamative, well written and based on sound advice - recon it may be the Dec 00 edition, i may have it at home if you cannot get one - email me.

 

Cheers for the replies so far.

Any more info re. exporting would be welcomed.

Cheers

Richard
