...bring it with me from EU? does that make sense?
my 335 Msport is brand new and if i re-buy the same one in Australia will cost me at least 150% more.... Besides, I understand there are little chances to enjoy it due to to speed limits, cameras all over etc.etc. As odd as it can be all these factors are a big brake to relocating. I would be interested to hear from anyone who had the same experience. cheers |

Depends on your relo deal.
If you got a good one like a few of my mates when they moved over, the company will fork out for all the costs involved with bringing the car over, so say you were to sell it once you arrived you could be sitting on a nice profit, or simply a great car that you paid a hell of a lot less than everyone else on the road. If you have to fork out of your own pocket, i wouldn't bother, so in this case i'd say sell it. |

^ Left Hand Drive? Sell it. You would only be able to register the car if it was converted to right hand drive, which would cost well over $10,000 (maybe even over $20,000). You can get left hand drive cars registered in New South Wales (I don't know about the other states), but only if the car is more than 30 years old.

Sell it ..... too many hassles. Cost to convert alone would not make sense and then you have to factor in it would never be the same as a factory job and then if you try to sell it, you will most likely find it hard to sell. Car dealers will deffinitly refuse to buy it.
