I was wondering if anyone has imported a car from New Zealand before? If so:
- What costs were involved (shipping, Tax, etc)?
- How long did it take?
- Could you recommend a decent importer who can pack the car in NZ if dropped off at the depot?
Cheers
Mark

If the vehicle meets the requirements as a "Personal Import" then this is by far the best option. Still wont see much change out of about $4500, but its reasonably hassle free. (well it is until it hits Australian government depts.) If you use Crown remov
