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.

Hi Geoff
I would just like to say thank you for all your help with importing my 1997 Nissan 180SX 2L turbo, and I will definitely be recommending you to people I know (I already have to all the people at work and the users of www.perthstreetbikes.com.au).
Maybe I’ll even import again, if so I will be coming back to you. You’ve been a terrific help and the fact that you ARE Prestige Motorsport really gives the company good customer service because I know every time I ring that you are going to answer (or not answer if you are already on the phone). 🙂
Again, thank you for helping my ‘dream’ of owning a 180SX come alive. If you need to, you can send any future customers onto me for a reference 😛 although I don’t think it will be needed. You have really created a marvelous company and I wish you the best of luck in the future.
Best regards, Kyle
