Has anybody imported their IS200 from the UK to NSW? If so, would really appreciate any advice on what modifications were necessary to bring it to Oz standards. I think maybe the speedo (ours only has kph as a secondary measurement) and also 3 point child anchor points need doing. Any advice would be much appreciated as it seems the companies that do the conversions cannot say for sure until you get it to Oz which risks a big surprise! Thanks Karen

I have an RX300 (2001 model, 65000k) in the UK and we are returning to Oz next year. THe secondhand market here is dead unless you are part exing (would get about $6-7k if lucky). Thinking of bringing it back to Oz therefore along with my husband's IS200. I have found out that RX300 was never sold in Oz, only imports. Could anyone who has an RX300 tell me how they go for parts and servicing as the parts company I contacted didn't sound optimistic. ALso, has anybody imported one from the UK and if so, what modifications did it need for compliance in NSW? It seems a real shame to let it go as I'm so happy with it, not to mention the fact that Oz secondhand cars are more expensive than in the UK so I lose out both ways! The export costs look to be about $10-12k but at least I would have a hopefully reliable car at the end of it even just for a year or 2. Any help much appreciated! Karen
