Guest Hedgehopper Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Thanks , it would be nice to get an accurate price from someone as removals companies keep trying to talk me out of it. I've almost gave up :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Cars hold their value much more in Perth. Check out redbook.com.au or ahg.com.au to get an idea of what an equivalent replacement may cost. Factoring that in to your overall moving costs may swing the decision to bring it (or not).

Guest racheldarkesouthwood Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Hi My hubby brought his car over. It was worth it 100% but you have to be patient and persistent and really, really love your car! Email me if you would like me to send over his timescale/costs spreadsheet! rachel@weddingideasmag.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
