American classic: why import your car from the US?

  • Written by NewsServices.com

The United States is the land of the Chevy, Dodge and Ford. It’s a country with one of the biggest automobile industries in the world, with a giant market for classics as well as smart new models coming off the factory line. It’s a country where one can buy pretty much whatever vehicle they want if the price is right.

For these reasons it is understandable why importing a car from USA to Australia is pretty appealing. But it doesn’t end there, as there are a great number of reasons why you might want to surpass the local market and import a classic from the old US of A:

  1. You get access to a huge range of vehicles

Don’t get us wrong, buying a vehicle in Oz has its benefits, too, but it certainly doesn’t have the access that buying from the States provides. After all, it is a massive country with a giant population of motorheads, the type of people who will take awesome care of a top quality Chevy over the course of its lifespan, ensuring that when it’s time for them to hand it on then it will be in top quality condition for the next driver to enjoy.

This access is like entering the ultimate used vehicle warehouse - an online wonderchest of top quality vehicles not only manufactured in the US but across the world! You can find all kinds of quality Japanese and European vehicles in the States, and many that you just simply will not find Down Under.

  1. You can get the best assistance in the business

For many people, going it alone can be a daunting task, especially when you consider the large job that is importing a car from US to Australia. Yes, there is plenty of paperwork, online viewing, and the odd hurdle to overcome, as this is a pitfall of the world of vehicle importing, but you can enlist the experts to take care of the situation for you.

They can provide you with sound advice on which vehicle will be perfect for importing, as well as any additional information regarding what you have to provide to ensure the process goes off without a hitch (but, to be fair, there are always a few, thus giving even more reason to enlist the pros!).

Having an expert in your corner will ensure that all you really have to provide is the info about your desired vehicle, your details for the paperwork and, of course, the cash, and you can sit back, relax and wait for that stunning US import to arrive in your driveway.

  1. You can find great vehicles for great prices

If you are considering importing a car from US to Australia, chances are you’ve seen the recent second hand market in Oz - it’s ludicrous! More and more Aussie drivers are being deterred from buying here and it’s fair enough - prices have become exorbitant to the point that people are being put off driving altogether!

Thankfully, in the States you can still find top quality models for very reasonable prices. All you have to do is take your time to research the market, ensuring you don’t find yourself getting stung for a higher price. This, of course, can be avoided with the help of an expert, who can provide invaluable advice on whether or not the vehicle you are considering buying is of good value…
