Thanks for all the advice guys, after all the research I'm not shipping the car. I've decided from now to have a mid life crisis when I get there and hunt for a mk1 golf gti, until then I will saddle up the unicorn.

I'm finding ozhouserental a little confusing to use, is it just those properties listed available or can you search in areas?

Brilliant, thanks Druid

Wow just got an email this morning to say visa is approved, house is going through a sale, which should complete in the next 4 weeks, all systems go. How do I organise a short term/holiday rental from here? What things will prospective landlords need? I own a home here so no references etc Any particular sites or agents recommended for holiday/short term lets? Thank you for all your help as always

Thanks Ali, anyone have any experience of these? Schools, shopping locations, good for families etc?

Hopefully coming to Perth sometime between Oct - Dec 2014, my wife is a nurse and will be looking to work at Fiona Stanley Hospital, any advice on area's around there? We have a 7 year old and a 1 year old so would need schools and nursery advice. Just looking for furnished rentals but not sure which area's to look in, thanks people.

Thanks Druid!

Hi Druid or SaffanZimbo, could you possibly please pm the procedure to me too?

Thanks Rossmoyne, is south generally better than north? Sounds a bit like the UK divide lol

Hi thanks for all the info, anyone know anything about Aubin grove or surrounding areas for schools and family life? looking at this area as wife will hopefully have a job at Fiona Stanley hospital

Hi portlaunay, I completely understand your figures, but if i'm bringing a household with me anyway why not just stuff the car in too, the £3500 to bring it here I think is a pill i will have to swallow either way, still getting quotes for containers of all sizes, i'll see how it pans out with costs

Druid, thanks for the heads up. I will check those online valuations. That is a relief regarding the air con, I keep trying Iron lady but there website is down/in process of moving, has been for a few days I will def lose money selling the car, def don't want a car with a million miles on it, I am going to take the car, and will detail my experience on here for other to make an informed decision. Most of my research was thanks to your posts Druid, so thank you for that.

Brilliant thread guys, thanks for all the advice. Any suggestions for short term rentals, finding them etc... reputable, searching for them etc...

Thanks Saffanzimbo, unfortunately that's exactly what i've found looking at oz ebay and gumtree some real tin cans out there for high prices, just as an example my brother in law just purchased a 2007 hyundai elantra 2.0 petrol auto with over 90000 miles. It sounds nice but from my experience about 90k + is when clutch, brakes, timing, water pump and things require attention, not sure after just moving there it's a hit I want to take, my car only has 60000 on the clock and touch wood seems to be ticking over nicely, no advisories from last 3 mot's, still toying with taking it over, not sure i'll have time to look for a car, with researching area's, schools for kids, property to rent, looking for a job etc...

Thanks for all your help people! I just needed to hear from people to show me the light, I read on forums for a decent car you will need to look between $5000 - $15000 for something decent? possibly with high mileage That's why i'm contemplating on taking my own known working vehicle

Hi i'm looking to ship a BMW 320i over and just trying to get all the costs down to see if it is viable. it's a 2002 prob worth £2500 also procedure step by step guide, if anyone has done this recently and can comment or add on the steps that would be great I just know this car is solid and the history, I have also looked after it and would just use it until it dies so far i have valet uk £30 DVLA export notice, keep v5 apply for a Vehicle Import Approval $50 degas aircon £30? shipping not sure to include in household goods or roll on roll off service Advice please? customs duty amount? customs value $3000 0.05 x 3000 = $150 Transport and Insurance (T&I) $1500 VoTI (CV+Duty+T&I) Goods and Service amount tax? GST = 10% x VoTI 10% x $4600 $460 I don't think this will qualify for lct, i may be wrong quarantine clearance $400 steam clean daff clearance horror story? registration $500 insurance $500 Have i missed anything out? Anyone who has experience with this I would be grateful for any advice Thank you
