This 1992 Mazda is the type of vehicle that would be eligible for import to Australia under a proposed new 25 Year Old Vehicle Import Rule for 2018.
Had it been eligible under the proposed 25 Year Rule for Australia, the 1,760,000 Yen FOB sale price in Japan would have equated to a total price in Australia would have been approx. $26,900 landed plus compliance, tyres and ORC’s (calculated at a rate of 85.7 Yen to the dollar).
Vehicles like this are increasingly being seen as collectible not only in Japan but the rest of the world, which is driving a rapid increase in prices.

Whether you’re looking for a special edition 1992 Mazda RX-7 Type RZ like this one, or any other type of vehicle we can find it for you in nice condition with a bit of time, effort and of course the right budget.
The pictures are typical of the information we provide prior to auction for each vehicle of interest, with any faults shown so you can clearly see the condition before we discuss whether to bid, and your budget.
It is vital when sourcing your vehicle to use an agent that takes the time to physically check each vehicle and looks beyond the auction pictures and report to confirm condition. Some vehicles may have an unpleasant smoke or other odour, rust underneath, or other faults which are impossible to know without inspection.

I wanted to post up an honest review of my experience with the import process and Geoff.
I bought my car a few months ago now. I was pretty on top on what I wanted down to model, year, acceptable colours and even finding all the cars I wanted to bid on online by myself.
At 1AM on a Sunday morning after a few I was browsing the auction cars and I came to the decision I absolutely must bid on this car I found. I sent Geoff an email with enough details to get the ball rolling and then went to sleep.
First thing in the morning Geoff called me and the arrangements were made that he would broker my import and to bid on that car. I didn’t win that auction, but less than a week later I won at auction a top of the line model from the final year of production for a very reasonable price. In total I only had to make offers on 2 cars, however Geoff had a handful of cars checked out for me with very short notice.
Throughout the entire process Geoff has been very polite, honest, punctual, he always returns your calls, and will send messages and emails to make sure everything is OK and handled.
Geoff is a genuine automotive enthusiast. He has provided good advice on every part of the import process and worked with me to help me find and import exactly what I wanted.
If you think you want to import your own car I would highly suggest you get in touch with Geoff.
