If you are coming from a European country, your car may be much smaller than those found in Australia. If your car has an engine that's less than 1.8 liters, it may not be worthwhile importing since gas costs considerably less. Most cars being shipping to Australia are between 4 to 8 years old with a value between 10,000 - 20,000 thousand USD. Sometimes people plan to sell their cars, but then receive such a low offer for it, decide to ship their car instead.
