We specialise in direct car import from Japan and have been sourcing vehicles to order for private Australian buyers for over 25 years. Every vehicle is hand-picked and we only source the very best.
We make importing your Odyssey simple with physical inspections of vehicles by experienced staff at over 30 auctions every week in the Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, Kobe, and Kyushu / Fukuoka regions.
We start by focusing only on vehicles with the highest auction grades. But there is a lot more involved than just basic auction grading !
Not only are auction reports unreliable but most people do not realise that a significant % of vehicles at auction are bought and sold by Japanese dealers for a quick profit between different auctions. If you are not aware of this and do not check actual condition and past auction history you will almost certainly pay too much.
Our service includes pre-check of every vehicle for past auction records using JCHC, at no cost to you. This allows us to consistently target first-time auctioned vehicles for our clients in the best condition and at the best price.
Our thorough Japan auction inspections include checks of engine, transmission, air conditioning / electrics plus pictures inside, outside and underneath showing options / features and any condition issues.
We also ensure that any outstanding factory recalls are completed prior to export from Japan, which is essential before import to Australia / SEVS compliance.
Once your new car has been exported from Japan all original paperwork and additional items such as spare keys and books are sent to you by EMS. This includes the Export Certificate (showing up to the last two re-registration inspection dates and odometer readings, depending on vehicle age) for your peace of mind.
