I'm looking at buying a new car in the next couple of months, and, typical modern day problem in Western Australia, cars can be considerably cheaper in the eastern states. I've read through as much info as I can on bringing cars into W.A and it seems that pit inspections can be avoided, which would help save money. But one requirement that is deemed necessary to skip the pits, is that the car has been registered in my name for a period of greater than 12 months. Therefore I would have to get it inspected. I would also be assuming that the car is stock standard. I"m having trouble finding out what sort of costs are involved and just how much of a hassle this inspection would be, so if people who have been through this process could provide there experiences, it would be a great help in my planning.
