All,

I'm after info regarding the import of an Aussie WRX (same spec as UK
turbo). My car is a 98 met green in as-new condition with only 24000
kms on the clock. It is also completely standard and has full service
history. I'm after costs for:

1. the shipping and insurance
2. the change-over of speedo to mph
3. duty/tests etc to get it UK registered
4. what would it be worth in the UK?

The above will determine whether I bring it with me from Aus next year
when I return to the UK for a bit.

Thanks for any info,

Costs of importing stuff has been covered before - do a search on this forum to see what's been posted before. As a ball park figure it probably would be £1500ish for the shipping/conversion/etc.

But really, unless you're in love with you present Scoob, it's probably not worth shipping it over. 98MYs (obviously depending on condition and mileage: yours sounds like a good 'un) here go for £13,000ish on the dealer forecourt and about £11,500 privately.

Miles,

Brand new Scoobies go for 13,000GBP in OZ. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif
So it may be worth Pete going the import route. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

Not too many people know abot the OZ WRX being the same as the standard UK turbo.

I know one guy who bought one thinking it was the usual WRX with 280 BHP. Slightly dissapointed and out of pocket.

I'm sure you wouldn't pull that stunt on someone.
