Hi, does any know anything about the services offered on this website for purchasing and shipping vehicles from USA to Aus. Seems like very reasonable prices.

I think this website is listing cars that are for sale on other websites.. and putting a mark up on them in the process.. I found 4 Mustangs on there that are for sale elsewhere. same ads, but the prices are jacked up a few 100 more.. and in some cases.. 1000 ++  .. the whole importing charges seem extremely steep to me.. and i am in the industry...  Just my opinion..
 Good idea.. free enterprise.. I wonder if the people that own the cars know they are listed on this site!!

Doesn't seem like an unrealistic figure given it is is coming from Washington D.C. and is a 40 footer.

I have asked for a full break down of costs before I decide either way and of course that will include delivery to the shipper

Thats a fair price for a 40ft make sure its in writing as due to fuel costs etc could change before your ready!
