[WTB - QLD] split rat
Hi everyone, looking for a split rat at the moment , in saying this, has anyone here had recent experience importing from the states ? aussie dollar
is good and thesamba.com has some cheap buses, i'm not worried about LHD, but any traps i should be aware of, any problems with extra duty if its a
panel ? thanks

Huh?...
I would recommend buying a rat here, you need to inspect. One persons idea of rat is different to anothers. Most I've seen use the term Rat to make
their piece of rusty junk "appealing"
What is it you want? What do you class as Rat?.

by rat i guess i mean the cheapest running split available, i really do like the old weathered look. I have previously owned a decent single cab split
back in adelaide, sold it and now ten years on want another split of some kind. Looks cheaper to buy and import from USA than to buy here.

Hate to say it, but Rat does not mean the cheapest running Split. A true Rat generally has a preserved patina, with overhauled running gear. A true
Rat Is often more mechanically sound than what appears to be a shiny restored split. Difference is the money is spent on the mechanical stuff rather
than the paint, panel and bling.
This is why you could get caught out, as some people advertise dangerous rusty pieces of crap as Rats. It's not going to be cheaper buying a split
overseas once you pay tax and then realize you need to spend thousands more to get it roadworthy. It's too much of a risk unless you can fly there,
and check it out yourself.
What's your budget?
