Hello all.
I'm returning to Perth after leaving a couple of years ago, having spent quite a few years living there {yes, another ping pong Pom!**. I'm bringing back my car {it's worth it due to age/make/model** and would be really grateful if anyone who has recently done the same, could offer any advice/tips on their experience. In particular:
I've done plenty of research and having spent a few years in WA, I know nothing gets done quickly or cheaply when it comes to the gov't. However, I'm interested to hear how quickly customs clear your car and were you able to get fully comprehensive insurance to drive it from Freo to the pits in Welshpool. I know the 48hr temp movement permit provides 3rd party injury cover only. I've spoken to a few insurance companies and they won't provide insurance until it's been over the pits and plates issued. Problem is, you can't do this until the car's been cleared by the pits! I'm reluctant to drive the car with only 3rd party cover {WA drivers...**.
Once the car's been cleared by the pits, how long did it take for you to be issued with plates?
Many thanks.
PS. If anyone has a cheap run-around {$500-$800** with rego that they're looking to sell in the next couple of months, plse PM me.
