Every lot on this page is priced at what it lands at here, not at the hammer price in Japan — shipping, duty, GST, compliance and our fee included.
This page is the reason. Nine thousand cars to choose from, each with a grading sheet, instead of the few of that model listed locally this week.
We compare the full landed cost against a comparable Australian car: same year, similar kilometres, similar specification.
Auction grade, condition notes, verified kilometres and the inspector’s sheet, translated. In-person inspection on selected vehicles where available.
We search across the Japanese auction houses instead of the few of that model listed locally this week.
Poor sheet, questionable repair history, or bidding past sensible money: we stop and wait for the next one.
Yes, importing takes longer. The reason to wait is to get the right car, with more information, rather than simply the first car available locally.
