My new 2011 camaro

Actually if you check out the G8 forums there's a lot of yanks that do go down the Holden Lion badge route for their G8s. The ones that understand that apart from the engine, the car IS a Holden and IS 100% Australian.

Yes and we also convert the GTO to the Monaro as well. I know where my GTO came from and glad it did come from OZ. Much better car than some of the US cars.

Yea I thought so. Surely there is a cheaper option though. Especially as they are only $44k and the dollar is nearly at us/AU $1.04.
What happens if you just put one in a container and have it shipped over? (I don't know how it works) a few years ago I was looking at importing a jap car.
How much Does it cost for the RHD conversion?

oh, i didnt see this question

you can put it on a container if you like, it will then sit at the docks awaiting customs clearance and itll cost you 60 dollars per day till you send it back, or cut it in half at the docks and declare it a wreck.

you need to contact a RAW who has approval to import/plate camaro's. they are the only ones who have the authority to apply for import approvals on cars that are being imported with the intent to drive in australia.

i think compliance costs on the camaros (through most of the guys who have approval) is somewhere around 45K. import duties and GST is not too bad, something like 17% of the purchase price in total, shipping is 3k though kiwi car carrier, who pick up and drop off which IMO is a brilliant service. but i am still unsure if these are likely to get slugged with the luxury car tax or not.


if you are serious about wanting one, you need to contact a RAW first and ask questions: Search for a RAW

hopefullyi will be on that list this year mustang is taking a lot longer than i thought.
