Sell the van here, you can buy one easily in WA. Australian rules and regs make it not worth the migraines. They are VERY anal over there.

If you're REALLY hell-bent on taking it over, check with the state authorities first. You'll at least need an import approval (you can import without one if you're keen to give Gillard about 13 grand though), and if it has A/C you'll nee to evacuate the system.

And don't quote me on this, but I have heard of their version of compliance inspections running to 3,000AUD.

Personally I think the amount you'd end up spending shipping, paying duty etc, and eventually getting your van on the road there would have bought you a decent replacement anyway.

Anyone out there, let me know if I'm wrong.
