This one-owner 2000 Mitsubishi Lancer EVO 6.5 Tommi Mäkinen Edition in white with just 56,865 km was inspected at auction on 15 February 2018.
Auction grade 4 B, report noted:
Needs cleaning
Seat and steering wheel worn
Alloy wheels scratched
Underneath rust, has been painted
Small marks around the car
On inspection we found the vehicle to be clean and original overall, other than the rust shown in the pictures – engine bay, underbody, boot.
It sold for 2.51 million Yen FOB, which at the time would have been approx. $38,300 complied in Australia (calculated at 84.2 Yen to the dollar). Which goes to show how much collectors are willing to pay for low km and original vehicles even when they are rusty.
We only source the best vehicles with clean and tidy interiors, and only vehicles we would be pleased to own ourselves. This is why we are constantly told by clients that the vehicles we source are well above the condition of most others on the local market.
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.
Whether you’re looking for a 2000 Mitsubishi Lancer EVO 6.5 Tommi Mäkinen Edition like this, or another year, make or model, we can find it for you in nice condition.
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.
