We only source the best vehicles with clean and tidy interiors, 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’re looking for a 1992 Mazda RX-7 turbo like this, 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.

Hi Geoff
My EVO 8 MR is on the road. I love it. Both compliance workshop and VIC Roads mechanics say it’s the cleanest EVO they’ve seen come in. Being grade 5 A and only 15,500 kms it’s in absolutely immaculate condition. I can only describe it like ‘as new’ condition. It’s far exceeded my expectations. Well done!
The car ended up costing right on the estimate so your guidance was quite accurate despite the fluctuations in our Aussie dollar. Thanks for all your support over the weeks. Now that I’m familiar with the importing process and time of wait, I wont panic next time I plan on importing again. I’ll definitely recommend you to my friends if they want to import as well :o) Overall, I’m extremely happy with the outcome, if I would have to give you feedback the only surprise I had was that it only came with one immobiliser key. However, I can just bring in the car to Mitsubishi and they should be able to fix me up with another key. These things happen, but in light of things, you’ve done a fantastic job in sourcing me a near perfect EVO 8 MR at a great price.
Cheers,
David :o)
