ive spent about 6hrs today looking at cars and reading about the costs of importing and figured you guys here would be able to give the best help about giving an estimate of cost
this is what im looking at importing mst likely
about a 2001 subaru legacy, non-turbo coz im p-plater still
i find them for less than 200 000yen in japan, working out to be about 1600 australian
if this were the cst of the car (FOB chrages included) then how much can i expect the total cost, including agents costs because i am to worried to attempt to import myself, and compliance as well as any other fees involved?

any help would be much appreciated thanks

I can't fault godfather for his input, but I don't know him personally. Maybe it's because I myself am not all that useful
