I bought one that looks identical to yours about a month ago.  Same year and colour and wheels etc.. . but with 38k on clock and no cambelt change.  It was up for £6890 and I paid £6400 and got the cambelt done the day after I collected!! At the time of buying it seemed to be a fair price compared to others that were for sale!  Good luck with it!

Definitely take it over with you if you can mate.
Worth a fair chunk over there (probably looking at about 15-20k AUD) so even after you've paid shipping an import taxes and stuff you'd still be better off.
Anything German in particular commands a really good price over there and plus is nowhere near as common as over in the UK!

Where abouts are you going?
