Generally, for a JDM import, the process takes between 8 to 12 weeks. This includes the time for sourcing, shipping, customs clearance, and Australian compliance. European imports may vary slightly based on shipping schedules.

We never buy 'blind.' Every vehicle we source undergoes a physical inspection by our trusted agents in the country of origin. We provide you with the Original Auction Sheet (for Japan) or a Comprehensive Mechanical Report (for Europe) to verify the grade, mileage, and condition.

Need more info

No. When we provide a quote, we offer a 'Landed and Complied' price. This includes the car cost, shipping, insurance, Customs Duty, GST, and Luxury Car Tax (if applicable). The only extra costs are your local state registration fees.

Need more info

Yes! We can arrange pre-approval through our lending partners so you have your budget ready before we start bidding on your behalf.

Need more info

Absolutely. We ship Australia-wide. Once the car is complied and registered in NSW (or provided with a blue slip), we can arrange enclosed or open transport directly to your door in Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, or regional areas.
