New Car Import to Australia — What you need to know

July 6, 2016Australian Compliance, General News, Import Regulations
new car import cars on wharf

From 2018, proposed changes to the Vehicle Import Regulations will make it possible for new car import by anyone in Australia, not just the big car makers.

Private individuals will be able to organise their own new car import to Australia every 2 years.

This will apply to new cars and motorcycles from another country with comparable standards to Australia’s (including Japan and the UK).

The vehicle must:

  • be a motorcycle or right hand drive passenger vehicle

  • be less than 12 months old, and;

  • have no more than 500 km on the odometer

Read more about How we can help with your new car import to Australia or contact us.

Follow us on Facebook or add yourself to our Mailing List to keep up-to-date with the latest updates on changes to the new car import rules.

  • Toyota Estima 3L G Premium

    I just received my imported family Van (Toyota Estima 3L G Premium edition).

    Prestige Motorsport came recommended to me from two (independent) colleagues at work.

    I won’t hesitate to say that Geoff gave me the very best customer service I have ever experienced.

    Geoff is obviously very used to dealing with people who have endless lists of questions, and he does a brilliant job at addressing each and every one of these in a timely manner, (all with a great deal of patience). For what you would consider to be a very nervous experience (first time buying a car that you’ve never seen in another country) all the processes are pre-documented, clear to follow and work out exactly how they were described.

    Prestige Motorsport have obviously dealt with all the caveats you would expect in this type of purchase, and so the resulting experience for me was very simple and smooth.

    I took my time finding the right car too for our family, and I never felt pressured to hurry it along.

    So… so far so good. The estimated final prices were accurate. The car is immaculate, even the compliance shop commented on what a great example it was and that Geoff had done very well. The after sales support has also been appreciated.

    Thanks Geoff, you have my highest recommendation! I would not hesitate using your services again.
