The Car

OK - so this is a trip across a big distance in a car. Lets be specific about the car. We had intially planned to take my '96 Mitsubishi Pajero - however the more I think about it, the one way shipping expenses would justify buying a car over there. I plan to share with you options as they have come up - There is a few

Buy something in the UK:
Cons:
Won't know it's history or little intricacies.
Chance of being sold a lemon
High cost due to exchange rate

Pros:
No cost of shipping
Still have a car when we return


Take my car but sell it in Magadan:
Cons:
Cost of transfer to UK
Sad feeling leaving it in Magadan
Chance of partial/total loss if unable to sell

Pro:
Know it's history and little intricasies
It's got a low value (shouldn't attract much attention)
I will have got 3 years use out of it

Thoughts:
It'll be worth nothing in 3 years time. With many cosmetic bumps and scratches it won't be worth anything to an Australian buyer.
