⚠️ Important Notice Before You Proceed

Importing a vehicle is a complex process involving multiple external factors and variable timeframes. By submitting the Import Request Form, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

  • The timeline from purchase to delivery may vary due to:
    • Processing delays in Japan
    • Freight and shipping schedules
    • NZ compliance and certification steps
    • Unexpected repair requirements
  • Once a vehicle is imported on your behalf:
    • It cannot be refunded due to change of mind or delays
    • We commit time and resources from the point of engagement

We do our best to select high-quality vehicles based on all available information, but please note that unexpected issues may arise.

🔧 How the Import Process Works

  1. Initial Consultation: We discuss your preferred vehicle type and total budget to get it road legal in NZ.
  2. Vehicle Search: We monitor auctions daily and shortlist suitable options.
  3. Translation: We translate auction sheets and send them to you for review.
  4. Inspection: Our agents in Japan inspect the vehicle and provide photos/comments.
    ⚠️ Reply is required within 1 hour to proceed with bidding.
  5. Deposit & Bidding: A $2,000 NZD deposit is required before bidding. Higher deposits may apply in some cases.
  6. Result: If we win, we invoice you. If we lose, your deposit is refunded that same day. If the car sells below budget, you only pay that amount.
