Default Hi...Help

Hi All

I'm currently living in the UK and seriously considering emigrating to Western Australia, Probably in the Perth area but want to bring my 2 Subaru's with me. I have a 2005 Forester STi and a Impreza Type 25 Spec C WR Ltd, can anyone shed any light on importing regulations/emmissions/testing etc and any taxes needing to be paid.Also how strong is the Subaru community over there and what potential problems could I have when servicing, coming to sell and lastly our petrol is 98 ron....would this be a problem....so many questions....lots of answers PLEASE

Regards
Mog

cars will have to go through customs and quarantine, the usual thing i guess...then go over the pits to get licenced

Petrol cost over the UK is still expensive compared to oz

you wont have a problem bringing your car in, if you're a UK citizen immigrating here.
A mate of mine who's coming over in 6 months, investigated this and he's bringing a mini in. And apparently no issues.

As andy mentioned, will be quarantined, and put through the pits.

Easiest to do is give australian custons a call or email. I'm sure the Aus High Commision in London will be able to let you know. Should be part of the immigrating to Oz kit.

There's a relatively large Subaru community here. 2 "large" communities, one official club and one unofficial (this one). I would love to see the Spec C in the flesh!

Good luck with it

Joe
