Re: Corolla AE92 FX GT - Finally in Aus and on the road!	Mon, 27 September 2004 05:59

I imported this car with the help of Craig and Gareth at J-Spec. The total cost of getting the car including the cost of faxes, phone calls, trip to melbourne to pick it up, rego, rego mods etc was $5500. For states other than tassie the cost might be a little higher as we don't require many mods to 15 year old vehicles, this cost is gernerally $800 - $1200 although only set me back $250. I ended up copping an extra bill from customs because they took too long to empty the air conditioning, this made the total cost of getting the car $6050. I hate those bastards at Ultimate Customs, the phone operator was a aggressive unhelpful wanker and their paperwork & invoices were all sent to me after the due date, unfortunately they can't be avoided. The initial description given by J-Spec turned out to be very accutate (i was sceptical), the only problem that i have found was a small hole in th middle section of the exhaust. Also, I already had the wheels from a previous car so they don't could in that price, neither does the alarm or sound system. but I still thought 6k was a decent price considering stock sx's commonly go for around that price! I didn't want to go any bigger than 16" as peroblem arrise such as high tyre cost and being illegal (unless engineered). If anyone else is looking at importing via the 15 year rule PM me as i will let you know other costs involved and where i had issues.
