I am looking at moving to Australia as this country is fooked

So it wont be for a year yet but thought i would test the water

The land of OZ is something I have been looking at over the past year for much the same reasons !!

Having a construction career makes things alot easier scoring 60 points getting you half way to your VISA

Fuel is around 45p for Unleaded and 60p for DIEsel what I couldn't get though was the price of there cars.

A 2003 CSL 45k miles in the uk goes for approx 30-32k ???

In OZ from a dealer thay are going for over £50k

Take it with you, it'll probably cost around 5/6k for the CSL to be shipped(£1k for shipment 4/5k on tax etc.) you'lll not be picking one up in hurry at those prices unless your new salary reflects a similar increase, going by what I've seen it roughly reflects like for like.

Good luck with the sale of the car and your proposed move

The one problem with having a fast car in OZ is that the Police do not take kindly to speeding and I believe (sure someone will confirm) the speed limit is very low. The chap I got my CSL from was Australian and he said it was a nightmare......

From what I've seen it's around 25mph in a built up areas, opposed to 30mph here, and varies between 40mph and 60mph on main trunk roads.

Motorways between 50mph and 80mph.

So yeah I suppose in general speeds are around 5/10mph below what UK roads would be classed at.

It the luxury car import TAX which kills it....... looked into it earlier last year when I had a job offer in Sydney.
To take the 996 TT would have cost me about £50k in TAX
