Hi there,

I am thinking of importing my soon to be aquired 1998 Sti from Australia.

Does any one know how much it would cost to get it over here, or relative companies I could contact to find out?

Cheers,

Doug

douguk,
I looked into importing but from japan,
when i worked everything out shipping,duty,port fees,middlemen fees etcetc
it was cheaper to buy one over here.
If you can get the cars at good prices it may be worthwhile.
