I made the mistake of importing a yank car a few years ago. I had to change the bumpers because they didn't meet CDN crash standards. It could have been expensive but I got lucky and found some junk yard bumpers to swap out fairly cheap. I don't know if Australia is the same as here, but be careful. You could get fucked for a big repair bill to bring the car up to standard. Check it all out first. |

Quoting: John Doe 28763076 Do I have to have it switched to right hand drive? I see older models, still left hand drive, with no sticker, driving around. Looked at some site with no real answers. Just info on what paperwork is needed to clear customs. ![]() "It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning." -Henry Ford [link to www.webofdebt.com] |
