FS: 2000 E46 330i

Recommended Posts

Heya all. Well, the wife and I are packing up and leaving NZ (back to Melbourne!). So our lovely 330i has to go! (we wanted to ship it back but it would cost about $10K in shipping and fees.)

It's been a brilliant car, and we'll definitely miss it! You don't know how lucky you are to have such cheap cars here.

Cheers,

Matt

we've been planning on heading back as well and was planning on shipping back my car, i didn't think it was going to cost that much. I know there is duties of 10% and gst 10%

good luck with the sale.

That's a shame. Enjoy going home. A great car.

If it was a manual, I'd have bought it.

Good luck for the future.

10% duty.

shipping and insurance is nearly $4K quoted

10% GST on the (value+duty+shipping+insurance) total.

Then we'd still have to get compliance, roadworthy, and rego...

And we'd still have to pay up the loan on it over here somehow.

If we had the money it would probably still be better to take it with us (what with the difference in purchase price, and making a loss from selling it here), but alas don't have the cash (after shipping all our furniture and cats etc back).

Cain - does tiptronic count? :rolleyes: nah...

off topic again, :unsure:

do they calculate the current value of the car when you pay duties on it?

or do you throw them a reasonable figure?

cheers

You need to have a receipt or recent valuation. Otherwise, they'll apply the value of the car in Australia (which will be much higher)

The method of valuation seems a bit of a grey area, but the "worst case" scenario (which customs have told me would apply to me) is that they will use the (relatively recent) overseas purchase price, converted to Aus dollars.

You may get lucky if you can get a lower valuation when it lands in Aus, which would probably exclude shipping costs and rego costs from the valuation, but unfortunately you can't do that until it lands in the country... Still, as the same car in Aus would probably cost about $10-15K more, it's not unreasonable to work on the NZ purchase price.

So someone buy my car!!! ;)
