The EK X is a popular car in Japan so there is a large selection going through auction there every week – we can assist with the entire process from choosing the best example to shipping it to Australia.
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 Mitsubishi EK X import easy 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 !
Auction reports are often not reliable – we inspect every vehicle of interest in person to ensure it is up to our standard and has the options and features you want.
Most people do not realise that a significant % of vehicles in Japan are bought and sold by Japanese dealers for a quick profit between different auctions. If you are not aware of this you will almost certainly pay more than you needed to for exactly the same car.
Our experience with this situation alone will often save you more than the cost of our service fee.
Our import agent service includes a pre-check for past auction records using JCHC, at no cost to you. This allows us to rule out cars recently auctioned and simply moved to a different auction for quick resale, graded R (accident repair) cars changed to higher grades, as well as cars that have passed in unsold multiple times indicating a problem with the condition and/or 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. Just like the auction history checks, in-person inspections at auction are all part of our service – no extra charge.
Following these rules and being very selective on quality allows us to consistently target first-time auctioned vehicles for our clients in the best condition and at the best price.
We also ensure that any outstanding factory recalls are completed prior to export from Japan, which is essential before import to Australia / SEVS compliance. *Recall work is free in Japan and will be arranged at no extra charge before your vehicle goes to the Port, but please note there will be a small transport charge (generally $200 to $300) to send the vehicle to the nearest Mitsubishi dealer.
Once your EK Cross 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.

Mitsubishi EK Cross pictures
Regarding the car.. well, what can I say.. I absolutely love it !
Styling.. The Skyline looks better in real life than any picture can show. All the curves are in the right places and that rear end is just a work of art. On top of everything, it’s just all class. I am loving all the attention I am getting. Turning heads on the street, people staring so long they don’t realise the lights have turned green, I even had someone stop at the lights then reverse to get a another look ! So many people have stopped me to ask what it is. No one can believe its “just” a Nissan.
Drive.. It’s right up there with the BMWs, Mercedes, Audis, Lexus etc. – just with more power. The ride is so smooth and quiet. Both my partner and our dog fall asleep on every drive. It is a very civilised car with power and gear change delivering with the most manners possible.
The import experience has been great (aside from the waiting). I have to thank you for being so helpful. I am very glad I finally took the leap after being on your mailing list so long. I have no hesitation about recommending your service – which is what I have been doing since. I also want to thank you for recommending the compliance workshop as they have been absolutely fantastic. Not only do they make the whole compliance experience a treat, they have done a spectacular job on the car. Recommending these guys really boosts your own reputation in this business.
I have been hearing quite a lot of horror stories about importing and compliance of late. This just makes me appreciate the service you have provided even more.
So once again, thank you. I have attached some pics of the car taken at the Great Ocean Road on the first weekend.
