Car Finance Options in Australia

Not every car can be imported into Australia.

To import a car into Australia, it needs to be over 25 years old or listed on the Specialist Enthusiast Vehicles list. If the vehicle is older than 25 years, it can be imported without any restrictions.

If your car is not on the list, don’t worry. We may still be able to import it. Please contact us for more information.

Every car we source from Japan comes with a unique condition report produced by independent mechanical inspectors in Japan. These condition reports include accurate information on the car’s mechanical condition and any body defects, down to the finest details, such as minuscule scratches or untidiness of the interior. Additionally, our cars undergo secondary photographs at our holding yard in Tokyo prior to shipping for our customers’ peace of mind.

This is one of our favourite questions because it’s a common misconception among buyers and even some importers. Based on over a decade of experience in the Japanese car market, we can confidently say that you should NOT rely solely on auction grades, as they can be highly deceiving.

Auction grades vary from one auction house to another, and some are much stricter than others. For example, the same car might receive a grade of 3.0 at one auction but be re-listed with a grade of 4.0 at another. This inconsistency is why we strongly advise against judging a car purely by its grade, as it can lead to unexpected surprises.

To put it simply, relying on grades alone is a big mistake. If someone insists otherwise, we’d suggest questioning their expertise. There are plenty of great cars with grades below 3 and many poor-quality cars graded above 3.5.

Additionally, dealer-assigned grades are completely different from auction grades. Dealer grades are self-proclaimed, meaning sellers may inflate them to move cars faster. Always look beyond the grade and focus on detailed inspections, reports, and expert evaluations instead.

Condition reports from Japanese auctions are extremely thorough and accurate. Unlike grades, they SHOULD be used as a guide when deciding whether to purchase a car. These reports detail every aspect of the vehicle, including its mechanical condition and inspector’s notes. They also include a “car map” that highlights every panel and notes all paint defects, even the smallest hairline scratches.

Auction reports are conducted by independent mechanics and are highly reliable. However, dealer-issued reports are often self-proclaimed, meaning it’s always best to double-check the car’s condition thoroughly before making a final decision.
