Our Import Cost Calculator sets out all the costs of importing a car from Japan.
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 !
