It won’t just be the cost of shipping……. Don’t forget to check out the cost’s you will incur at this end as well.
It can work out quite expensive, and there is a LOT of paperwork involved. Here are a couple of government links to look at:.
and of course… does your car have air conditioning ? If not, depending on the area you move to, you may almost certainly have to get it installed, for your own comfort. I couldn’t live without air con in a car, to me it is much more important than air con in the house.
HFC Air conditioning may need to be degassed before shipping. CFC Air Conditioning must be permanently disabled prior to shipment, as it is illegal to import into Australia.
Is your car capable of having it installed in this country ? and at what cost ? Some models of cars are on one of two government lists:
Table of Eligible Vehicle Models for SEVS
Table of Not Eligible Vehicle Models for SEVS
It may be worth checking these lists before anything else. I am not sure if anything can be done about vehicles on the Not Eligible list.
Here’s another possible useful link:
