Why import from Japan?

✓

Legal and fully complied

All vehicles are imported under Australia's SEVS scheme and complied to Australian Design Rules before registration. We confirm eligibility before you bid.

📋

Independent inspection reports

Every auction listing includes a graded inspection report from the Japan Auto Appraisal Institute (JAAI) covering interior, exterior, and mechanical notes.

💰

Significant price difference

The same hybrid SUV or EV sourced from Japan regularly lands for $5,000 to $20,000 less than buying a comparable used option locally.

Common questions

Is importing a Japanese hybrid or EV legal in Australia?▾
Yes. Australia's Specialist and Enthusiast Vehicle Scheme (SEVS) allows eligible used vehicles to be imported. Most hybrid and EV models are SEVS-eligible. Vehicles are complied to Australian Design Rules (ADR) by a licensed compliance workshop before you register them.
How long does it take from start to driving?▾
Typically 10 to 14 weeks. Finding the right car takes 1 to 4 weeks. Shipping from Japan takes 3 to 4 weeks. Compliance takes 4 to 8 weeks. Some expedited compliance pathways are faster.
What is the deposit and when do I pay it?▾
You pay a deposit before we bid on a car. The deposit confirms your intention to proceed and covers pre-purchase inspection costs. If we do not win the auction, the deposit is refunded. Full details are explained in the app before you commit to anything.
Can Australian mechanics service these cars?▾
Yes. Toyota, Nissan, Honda, and Lexus vehicles from Japan use the same mechanical platforms as their locally-sold equivalents. Most dealers and independent hybrid-trained mechanics can service them without issue.
