This white 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer EVO 8 MR was inspected for a client at USS Okayama on 8 June 2013.
It had TEIN suspension and aftermarket exhaust. Wear noted on shift knob and steering wheel. Underbody painted black to cover some surface rust, but inspection indicated that was only minor. EVO’s are commonly rusty and it is unusual to find one without any rust at all.
It sold for 1,730,000 YEN FOB. Total price in Australia at the time would have been approx. $27,100 complied plus tyres and ORC’s (calculated at a rate of 92.4 yen to the dollar).
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 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer EVO 8 MR 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.

Regarding the car.. well, what can I say.. I absolutely love it !
Styling.. The Skyline looks better in real life than any picture can show. All the curves are in the right places and that rear end is just a work of art. On top of everything, it’s just all class. I am loving all the attention I am getting. Turning heads on the street, people staring so long they don’t realise the lights have turned green, I even had someone stop at the lights then reverse to get a another look ! So many people have stopped me to ask what it is. No one can believe its “just” a Nissan.
Drive.. It’s right up there with the BMWs, Mercedes, Audis, Lexus etc. – just with more power. The ride is so smooth and quiet. Both my partner and our dog fall asleep on every drive. It is a very civilised car with power and gear change delivering with the most manners possible.
The import experience has been great (aside from the waiting). I have to thank you for being so helpful. I am very glad I finally took the leap after being on your mailing list so long. I have no hesitation about recommending your service – which is what I have been doing since. I also want to thank you for recommending the compliance workshop as they have been absolutely fantastic. Not only do they make the whole compliance experience a treat, they have done a spectacular job on the car. Recommending these guys really boosts your own reputation in this business.
I have been hearing quite a lot of horror stories about importing and compliance of late. This just makes me appreciate the service you have provided even more.
So once again, thank you. I have attached some pics of the car taken at the Great Ocean Road on the first weekend.
