More hybrid import options
Contact us for current availability and pricing if you would like to import a car to Australia.
Every vehicle of interest to our clients is carefully inspected in person at auction, with more pictures provided along with market pricing guidance to help set the budget.
We 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 car 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 (even Japanese export agents) 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 moved to a different auction for quick resale
-
Graded R (accident repair) cars changed to higher grades
-
Cars that have passed in unsold multiple times indicating a problem with the condition and/or price.
I have used your services twice over the last 5 years.
You helped me import a HR31 GTSX COUPE from JAPAN which has won several awards for most original import.
You also helped me import a very rare Skyline HR31 GTS-R COUPE.
The price on these have risen a fair bit since I bought mine.
I even hear that JAPAN are actually buying back some of their rare original skylines as they want to keep their heritage.
Anyway, The Skyline HR31 GTS-R will remain in my garage for ever.
The white HR31 GTS-X coupe however I plan to sell to help fund a budget American Muscle car. I have had offers of $12,000 for it which is not too bad considering it cost me 8 grand or so.
I have done a lot of the usual internet searching and received a lot of conflicting shipping quotes from different car dealers in the States.
At the end of the day I keep coming back to you as you were fantastic during the import of my 2 skylines. I trust your knowledge and would happily use your services again to find me a muscle car.
