Opinions...

[LightningVP]

Ok well basically, around September I will be moving over seas and I have basically worked out everything but one thing....

I do not have a garage to store it in, and I don't have anyone 'that i trust/that needs a car'

Now basically my options that I have been given:
Store it in one of those "storage places"
Remove accessories and Sell it
Send it over with me

I'm not in the mood for any opinions on the car its self, I just want some information on the above options, or anything else you know of, if anyone has been in this situation, that would also help


Thank you

What country you are moving too will determine if you can send it over there.

Can't now that it's been written somewhere

But yes that was mentioned

America, I'm not sre about the RHD requirements, but it will cost a few k to send it...


*sorry about the doble post, as AirStrike had written his responce at the same time as my last*

You don't have family you can leave it with? How long are you going to be away?

[TVR-190]

no offence but if its gonna cost a few k to send its not worth it, probably cost the same as the car is worth. so sell it and just buy a cheap buick le sabre or something over in the US

I don't know...I will be moving...I don't know when/if I will be back

And no one I talk to in my family has room for another car.

Yes you now no longer have to put up with me at meets

Yes well that's what I was thinking... But I just wanted to see if there was another option

[TVR-190]

the only advantage to taking it over is it will be rare over there

[Astranomical]

Thats what I was going to say...if you just sell it and buy a Buick Le Sabre or Chevy Malibu or whatever...you'll be just the same as the millions of others who have the same cars (in the same way that here in Australia, a VP Exec is hardly unique), if you were to take the VP over with you, it would be an "import" and all. Not to mention that with there not being many Commodores over there, it'd make people think, "WTF is that car??"

[LightningVP]

Yes well that's what I had in mind...I would do a few things (power windows and stuff) before I took it over...But All the poeople I know in US don't even KNOW what a commodore is...and I've always wanted to own an import

[Sabbath']

It's a VP...just pull off all the shit you've pit on it and whack it up on Egay for $1500

[Astranomical]

Haha, yeah...I talk to a few people over in the US as well...the only reason they know what a Commodore is is because of me

Technically, you're Australian, the VP is Australian, even though you are going to be in the US, to you it isn't an import.....

[Abrowne70]

but to everyone where he's gonna be living it will be an import, lol, he wins on a technicality

[DANNY8]

I'd say sell it b4 u go. If u take it over, imagine having to buy simple parts for it, most things are gonna have to be sent over from here.

Yes I'd have to get my sister to send parts...


My main idea at the moment is to take everything off, move, and then decide if i wanna sell it once i get there...If I get a good job quickly then I may think about sending it... :/

[CANYONERO]

sell it. move over, buy a chev, and put holden badges on it lol

[davway]

do your homework before you think you can just send the car to America and expect it to be able to be out on the road.
if your moving to Cali - forget it - it will never pass the stringent emissions to start with.

like i said, do your homework and find the regulations for the state your moving to.

[SAV_117]

or just give it to me and ill look after it

[Static89]

dismantle it and post it piece by piece?

[stocky]

why bother sending a commodore over there when you can pick up an old mustang for like $1000 over there. seriously. theyre everywhere, like commodores

[LightningVP]

HAHAHAHAH!!!!! I am pissing myself

Yeah that's what I would have to look into if I did...Just getting ideas first

or just give it to me and ill look after it

I have nothing to add

@Static89 - Umm...That may cost more
@Stocky - Because it would be different

[LAPD-VN]

Send it over, be unquie. Who knows some american might offer you more money than its worth... either that your u'll get car jacked.
