In Topic: Importing my Subaru Legacy S401 from NZ

Thats awesome, I'd love one of those cars! 

 

Did you just put it on a ship before actually finding someone to help with compliance? Can I ask how much it cost and how much of a headache it was? 

 

An S401 would be an awesome weekend car! 

 

This was imported from NZ as a personal import, so I had to get a Vehicle Import License. I am not sure on how to import it from anywhere.

 

For anyone who has ever considered exporting their car to Sydney from New Zealand, I can tell you it is an expensive exercise.

All up freight, marine insurance, tax can be 3-4k 

Compliance, CTP insurance, rego, blue slips, compliance plate, weigh bridge and transportation is 2-3k

Hi All,

 

So I finally picked up my car yesterday. Its great driving something familiar. 

I can say that Sydney roads are quite poor, I feel alot of bumps and imperfections than in Auckland. 

The car feels solid, and is very very clean right now. 

Its too bad we are on essential travel, as I would of liked to take some photos more scenic, rather than work. 

 

Also does anyone have insurance company suggestions?

Just an update the vehicle is now in quarantine, getting cleaned. Apparently New Zealand dirt is not clean enough lol.

Thanks for the answers.

The BD5 is staying in NZ, its too old and difficult to daily around Sydney.
