Hmm. Plundering and Treasure Island. A part in me hates these stupid opportunistic pigs. Hope their vessels all sink in the ocean. And thinking of it, despite the amount of automotive choice it would give us, we shouldn't allow secondhand cars in, imagine the opportunity for these opportunist pigs to steal vehicles on demand anywhere across the globe, dump it on a shipping container and cash out legitimately on our shores..

On the bright side if someone wants a car that manufacturer decided not to import to Australia - it will be possible to import it privately. Focus ST wagon or S-Max becomes a possibility .

As with anything, there are good and bad ones, however, they are just providing a service and god forbid making a dollar at the same time. |

If the thing meets UNECE regulations, then in theory it shouldn't be that hard, accepting that our ADR's are increasingly ghosting those in any case.
