We only source the best vehicles with clean and tidy interiors for import from Japan, 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’d like to import a classic 1982 Porsche 911SC coupe like this from Japan, 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’ve tried importing through NZ companies that work in the same space, but they kept suggesting cars that didn’t meet my basic specs e.g. wrong year or trim level and in one case the wrong chassis ID !
So it is good to know that you really focus on getting the right cars for your buyers. All the best and I’ll be in touch !
