Does anyone know if it is OK to ship your car to south africa if you immigrate there? I have a left hand drive vehicle from the U.S., and I really would like to ship it. Right now, I would take a loss on the car if I sold it in the States, so shipping it seems smarter. But, I hear there is some sort of rule about left-hand drive vehicles. . .

I'm sorry to tell you this, but you aren't allowed to ship autos to S.A. At one time this had been possible and I can't remember the year they stopped. Remember you will be driving on the opposite side of the road and sitting on the opposite side in the car than you are used to doing here in the states...can you just imagine how more confusing that would be driving the car you have now?!! So the answer to your question is a NO.
