I have used your company before to import a MR-2 track car and have been more than happy since. I am now in the market for a EVO GT-A 2002. I would like to see what is around at the moment and prices in Japan.
This car is actually for my wife with the only requirement it being white. There are many “would like to have”, though i am sure these will be detailed over time. I would appreciate feedback regarding the process from here and look forward to doing business with you again.
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.
Just letting you know that the car arrived safely on Monday. Nothing was missing, but there were some scratches on the right front wheel. Not so bad considering the journey the car took.
The 2007 Nissan Skyline V36 350GT Type S sedan worked out really well. The W2 “paint wave” mentioned on the auction report is non-existent. I have polished the car and there is not a wave or anything. The rest of the car is very clean and well presented the interior still smells like new. It is a very powerful car. The compliance workshop also did a very good job.
As for the 1988 Soarer turbo, that was the best made car I have owned !
Well, it’s been a very long journey (just shy 6 months), but the car has finally arrived.
All in all, it was totally worth it!
Thanks again for all your help through the process it has been very much appreciated.
I went over the pits without any hassle and the whole process took about 45 mins. I spent most of that time chatting to the office staff trying to find out how fast the car can go.
I’ll happily recommend your services to all my jealous friends.
I imported a Landcruiser through you back in 2002 and she’s still going strong. Thanks for the great service !
It’s been nearly 4 months since you guys helped me bring in my EVO 8 MR into Australia and I have to say I am more than happy with the quality of what I got. People ask me how I managed to get such a high grade vehicle when I never left the country during it’s auction. I tell them without hesitation that it took patience, trust and a professional and truly human outfit to help source me what I was looking for.
Above and beyond the fee we paid Prestige, I am very grateful that we did business with you and wish you and the guy(s) that attended auctions in Japan on our behalf, a merry Christmas and a good New Year.
I have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone who asks us about the process I went through.
One happy customer.
Thanks Geoff, I would like to extend my free trial as the car I am looking for must be there somewhere !!!
Has been great to see the cars and what they go for, work out the total cost, massage the numbers for things I didn’t expect and then move to the next example.

Hi Geoff, I really appreciate your honest opinions and time. I think i’ll try looking around the local car market, eg. car sales etc. as the $10,000 budget was already pushing me. Again thank you very much for your prompt reply and when I’m in the market for a better car Prestige Motorsport is the first place I’ll go.

Hi Geoff,
Unfortunately I have purchased a new car, I bought a 2009 Honda Accord V6 (somewhat different to what I was originally looking for) although I wanted to say how I appreciated the great service you have provided, I found you to be the most thorough and informative when it came to approaching different car importers. The online trial you provide was great, I’d always look forward to seeing what car was selling in a few hours, knowing that what I was searching for came straight to my email which I could check on my phone in bed! 🙂
Anyways thank you for your service 🙂
Just wanted to let you guys know that the Mustang got delivered Wed 22nd.
It rolled out of the container looking surprisingly clean and shiny and none the worse for wear after 2 months at sea.
All the spare parts were there as well, so I couldn’t be more pleased.
Some mud on the back tires caught the attention of the quarantine inspector but it wasn’t enough to hold things up (thank God).
Many thanks and have a great Christmas.
Check out this youtube video of me starting the car for the first time.
Just to let you know I went and registered my V35 today. It all cleared and passed and I drove it home!
You have made this just so easy and such a smooth transition and I appreciate it immensely.
Just want to thank you again for all the help! Awesome stuff!
Thanks again!! Love the car.
Hi Geoff,
Just wanted to let you know the car arrived safely. It was delivered to me through the week & I’ll be getting it in for the compliance work to be done shortly.
It’s made it over with no shipping damage & nothing missing. I’ve already passed your contact details on to a few other people.
Thank you for finding such a good car for me, so far very happy!
I have nothing but awesome praises for your company after you sourced my 2008 Toyota bB. Have a mate who is interested in an EVO 6.5 so I have recommended you 😉
Hey Geoff
Hope you’re doing well mate. I wanted to share my enthusiasm with you and to pass on my utmost appreciation and praise for the gem of a 1996 Chaser you’ve helped me source. Here are some details I found out when I first went to see the car at compliance:
– logbook history,
– 100k service with water pump changed too
– HID headlights
– all keys (even the extra the previous owner made) supplied
– the horns were missing 🙁 – but bodykit is all there – no cracks or damage from transport.
– has 215s on the front and 235s stretched on the rears – 17″ TRD’s (actually Rays)
I loved the efficiency of your service for both vehicles. The Chaser has been doing really well, picking it up tomorrow after getting a T04S turbo put on ! I was looking through my past car paperwork and found out my Aristo was brought in by your business too (I purchased it from the local guy though).
Have to thank you again for your help with the Mitsubishi Lancer EVO 6. You seriously must get a good reputation, you answer all questions FAST, and additional advice and honest. GOOD TO SEE.
I will DEF be going through you, because I like how you reply. Makes a big difference. BIG THANKS AGAIN, one of the best businesses I have ever contacted.
Keep up the good work !
