Surely it wouldn't have cost you Ł3k now? I didn't think you had to pay duty on the car or face such a stiff test if you had owned it longer than 6 months?

Mike is correct with the tests but duty is payable on anything

I took mine to Oz. Mine was subject to more stringent tests as it had been owned less than 12 months so didnt qualify as a personal import. If you have owned more than 12 months, you are not subject to the emissions tests which is the main one the cossies struggle with and where part of my problem lay.

Shipping for me was 1200quid inc insurance in a sole use container with the car stuffed full of bits. Tax was around 500quid from memory based on a value of 3K pounds.

as saff cossie wrote mike
if you owned the car longer than a year it would have only have to go though a basic mot test like it does now, but still would of had to have rear anchors fitted and door bars.
so time it has gone though that , paid to ship it out and pay the duty on it, it would have been 2.5 to 3k.
i just dont have the money spare to pay that out for a TOY at the mo.
if i want one again at a later date its not to bad, but is slightly harder to get it over, but hey closed loop is surpose to be good which it would defo need.
anyway as said i like the xr6ti's , and will get one as soon as i can

Well if you actually drove your own car once in a while, then Cola would probably get a chance to drive her own

Anyway, pipe down Jackie

Indeed. Listed to Uncle Neil Dave. The problem is that I lived with that sofa for five years. I know who or what has shagged on it. I'm not going there

And another point I would like to raise is I've been there three times... and if my blokes car was off the road for the mere three months it was alleged... well, I'd be out and about in my car more often wouldn't I
