Okay, well. I test drove an auto F6 this evening and wow, I was amazed! However still looking for a manual and found this little gem here, http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Ford-Performance-Vehicles-F6-2012/SSE-AD-3147471/?Cr=2&sdmvc=1

Sent the guy an email - waiting to hear back.

It's 3k cheaper than a 11,000k auto over here + stamp duty in Sydney would be 1500 ball park as compared to 3k+ in WA justifying the 1k return flights and accom and the 1200-1500 freight for the car back.

All in all, what does one need to do in order to transfer the vehicle to WA? I had a gander at the DoT website and it made it sound like I had to pay stamp duty over there then stamp duty over here, other than that just show proof of ownership and pay for plates?

Do I have to pay stamp duty on both ends or is NSW alone fine? And who should I talk to in order to get a general look over/someone to test drive it before I make the executive decision to fly over and test it myself, would any body be interested in a carton for doing so provided they had some mechanical knowledge/is the owner on here/does any body know the car?

Cheers.

Stat dec proviing ownership of the car and original copy of the out of state rego with the original owners name on it

You need to pay stamp duty and rego in WA only. Car will need to go over the pits. Tell the seller the car is leaving the state so you do not require the RWC or Plates. This should help reduce the price.

And who should I talk to in order to get a general look over/someone to test drive it before I make the executive decision to fly over and test it myself, would any body be interested in a carton for doing so provided they had some mechanical knowledge/is the owner on here/does any body know the car?

Hopefully a member can help you out otherwise this guy - http://www.sydneyautoinspections.com.au/ was very good to deal with. He will handle money transfer, delivery to transport etc etc, which ever way you go with getting the car inspected etc ensure the spare jeys and all documentation are post via registered port separately from the car.

Cheers.

Cheers Ralph, just wondering, if I don't have plates on it, how would I drive from say Perth -> Licensing centre for new plates.

and would I just call up the NSW department of transport/equivalent and inform them the car is moving interstate in order to get reimbursed for the remaining months?

Not going to lie, the 1500-2k saving on the stamp duty kind of enticed me, but oh well.

pits - 70 bucks, plates - 30, rego - 700, stamp duty - 3k ball park?

You will get a letter from the RMS (NSW trans dept) saying plates have been surrendered. Find out which insurer the CTP is with, call them and they will give you a process to follow as they will want to site that letter. To find out who the insurer is you can do a rego check on the RMS website and it will tell you the insurer and the due date.

Sweet - I was still under the impression that if I kept plates on it, I could drive it over here for 3 months then surrender plates and re-rego it in WA and not have to pay our stamp duty, just theirs?

Doing the rego check, it's listed as a Falcon? Is that normal?

Also who did you ship with? Covered/uncovered etc.

Starting to add this all up it's not proving too cost effective unless I can get him down to ~45k, looking at 5.5 just to fly, inspect, ship, register with another 1.2 for insurance and possibly another 2k for third party warranty? Let alone freight insurance (no clue on the price of that)

But end of the day if you break even on teh car as you would expect to pay here you're getting the car you want. I don't think you need to take it over the pits anymore.

Yes you do, haven't own the vehicle for more than 12 months.

Yeah, spent the night searching around, will have everything this side organised just not sure how I'll go around transport. Need to go and get a quote for an enclosed trailer to get it shipped over, kinda iffy about the idea of it being in the open and rocks and seeing how sh*tty the great eastern was just before Coolgardie a few months ago.
