Client feedback

Don saved NZ$5,000. AA, rego, and wof test with a perfect record!

My brother-in-law had replaced his car with a Japanese import.

He negotiated the deal himself via the computer. The car, a Toyota Rav 4, was in top condition and his end price was a lot less than he would have paid in New Zealand. He sAndrewupplied me with the email address of the agency he dealt with in Japan, adding that the process to buy was made simple by the agency. I thought about this but was still apprehensive about the process; buying a car I had not sighted or tested seemed somewhat risky. Hence it was some weeks later before I sent off a feeler e-mail.

Within 12 hours I received an e-mail from Tony in Japan. He gave me a simple run down of how the system works. It sounded good to me so I then advised in some detail the type of vehicle I would prefer and amount of money I intended to spend. He advised of what I could expect for my money from the current prices being paid at the auction. I sent him a deposit (150000 yen about $2200 NZ).

Tony then started searching the auctions for the car we wanted. This took several weeks as I was specific about mileage, make, year, colour and condition. Tony kept me sent me frequent e-mails keeping me informed of what was happening at the auctions. He eventually found the exact car I wanted and bought it for the right price. The car was a Toyota Camry Gracia 2200cc. He then made importing easy by walking me through the steps to get the car on the road in New Zealand. This included paying yen in Japan for vehicle. (All other expenses are paid in NZ$ here in New Zealand).

Yes, what seemed a difficult procedure was made very simple indeed by Tony. When I actually got the vehicle I was delighted with It's excellent condition. With the papers, was a Japanese Govt. Agency certificate indicating the mileage on the vehicle was correct plus Japanese reg. papers and service manual. The vehicle had been serviced regularly. It went through the AA, rego, and wof test with a perfect record. Nothing to do to meet our standards!

My total on the road costs were $5000 less than the same vehicle (with a slightly higher Ks) being marketed in the provincial city where I live. My brother in law had a similar saving when he imported his car.

For more vehicle for your money, importing made simple for anyone owning a computer, and getting a trustworthy deal I recommend japaneseusedcars.com. Tony who you will deal directly with is an extremely polite and very comfortable person to deal with.

Thought I'd let you know that the cruiser is fantastic. Picked it up at port and started a 3400kms trek to the Yukon, no troubles, it runs like a dream.. Very happy with it. Thanks for your help and the great communication throughout this process. It is everything you said it was and more. The attached pic is taken from a mining road in southern Yukon.

Thanks again,

Rob

Just a note to say thanks for everything. The A6 is better than I imagined. I struggle to find a mark on it, if this is a grade 3.5 I cant imagine what a grade 4.5 must be like. Speced out with everything, bose, paddle shifter keyless start etc. I will be coming back for an upgrade in a few years and will be forwarding your website on to others.

Thanks again for answering my email and translation requests. If your
passing through NZ I owe you a beer.

Well my friend I owe you an apology. A huge one too. I became a little doubtful at some point on what I had gotten myself into.. I mean I am the guy who never orders a pair of sunglasses over the internet so you can imagine my weariness when I sent you the rest of the cash for an actual van.. and then the month-long wait for the shipping and customs clearing was dreadful.
However, I managed to weave my way through all of the obstacles of getting the vehicle registered, insured and on the road. All of which only took 4 hours to process on one day and then 4 hours in the garage to modify the vehicle, followed by a 3 day wait for the canadian VIN tag.

Not only am I an owner of one of these highly sought-after Delicas but I am one of the lucky few who somehow got one in ultra-uber-great shape..?

I have been told by many mechanics ( including Coombs Country auto, the main delica distributer on vancouver island) that it is in outstanding shape underneath and that they've hardly never seen one so new lookin..?? it was probably dumb luck as so many of these get processed for export... but I am GREATFUL nonetheless.
You have far exceeded my expectations and delivered more than well on your word. Whether it was luck or you happen to have ultra skillful inspectors working for you I would like to thank you entire team for looking after me.

I will not hesitate to pass you credentials along (as I have already started doing) to anyone I run into who would like to import one of these.

Please use my name, address and phone number to anyone else from theis part of Canada who would like a referrence on your performance.

Hello Tony I am writting to tell you that I have recevied the car already today friday may 4 ,2007 and my dad drove the car home from the shipping company and he is very happy with it and so am I and my mom too. My sister had a look at the car here at home so did my brother in law and his brother too my sister say now she wants to bring in a bmw now from japan so doe,s my brother in laws brother too after looking at the benz. I told them both that if they want to bring in a car they have too send you a deposit to begin the search. Once again Tony thank you very much for your service we really love the car already and as i have mentioned before in previous messages to you , you can use me as a refference to any other potential buyers.

Oh before i forget I was wundering why is it that the cars in japan for those years have such low kms on them and are in such good condition too. And as well thank you for sending the pictures of the hilux surf it looks in excellent condition inside and out.

I have been very busy and I have meant to email you prior. I am extremely impressed with the vehicle, as was customs, the compliance center and our local Mitsubishi Dealer head mechanic, as the vehicle is in an original condition with so low kms. Just a fantastic purchase and you gave AAA service all the way through and I will and have recommended your services to others. Once again many thanks for a professional service.

Regards Darren

I used Japaneseusedcars.com about 18 months ago and I'd certainly recommend them. I purchased a BMW 328i through the site and Japaneseusedcars.com handled everything in Japan. They can even send your documents to an import agent in NZ so all you have to do is turn up to the VIN agent and drive away.

Obviously there are risks, your choosing the car based on a picture and description (although their inspection is thorough and they won't let you buy anything dodgy), and it still has to arrive safely in NZ; but you can minimise that risk by taking shipping insurance and getting a mechanical warranty for piece of mind. With my car it arrived in showroom condition and hasn't missed a beat. Obviously they work mostly with dealers but they are happy to help private buyers. I dealt with Tony, who was really patient with all my questions and gave me good advise throughout the process, which is exactly what a good agent is supposed to do.

It's also a good time to buy at the moment because the NZ dollar is quite high ・in fact currently watching the site for a car for my wife.

Best of luck. Dave

Well Lads,

Looks like www.japaneseusedcars.com is worth buying from if anyone is thinking of importing. I got my Celica on Monday. A long wait (2.5 months) but worth it. She has a BEAMS engine so I got a nice surprise. I was expecting a standard engine. The car was delivered right to my door. I could sell her in the morning and make 3K profit no problem. The car is in an immaculate condition, on a bit of dust from transportation.

I would definitely buy from them again and would recommend them to anyone. If anyone would like to get a car brought in I would do it for a small fee and all the paperwork and documentation would be in your name. That way it keeps the tax man away from me an you still save a couple of grand.

Happy car hunting to those of you that are looking for Jap imports.

I will post some pictures of her when I get a chance.

Nick:

Just wanted to say thanks very much for your work on obtaining the Roadster. I have appreciated your professionalism throughout. I am delighted with the car and it is in excellent condition, just as described. In fact it arrived with a log book, service history and car cover in the boot!

Regards

Nick

Travis:

My BMW arrived today, It far surpassed my expection!!! Its in great
condition. I want to thank you for all your hard work and answering all my
emails. I cannot wait to use your exporting service again.

Thanks again Travis

Andrew:

The evolution 9 arrived today what a car not a mark on it as well (a real bonus) thanks for all your time and effort to find and buy a faultless example of a fantastic model.

It has even got that beautiful new car smell in it! I am in the process of finding a couple more cars in the next two weeks so I will send a deposit soon (a civic type r & a Evolution 5-6) thanks again for the ease of use dealing with your company

Regards Andrew

Rod:

The Porsche Carrera 4 was beyond our expectations, needed a new battery
valve cover gaskets and that's about it. $300 tops.
We are very happy with the complete experience. Your service has been
excellent, your description of the cars very accurate and the delivery
smooth. Thanks again Tony, it's a pleasure doing business with you and Rees.
Rod


Claudio:
Tony...Louise drove the Honda and is very pleased.


Steve:

I now have the car and it is everything you promised. Things marked as scratches were tarseal spots which were removed with a spot of turpentine. Odometer was 27,700 as you specified.

Thanks again for purchasing the car on my behalf. You will be hearing from other people I know shortly.

Best Wishes
Steve


Don:

Yes we have put a CD in our Camry Gracia. The car is performing perfectly and am delighted with this purchase.

The very best wishes for 2004.

Don and Jan

Don:
We have taken possession of Toyota Camry and am delighted
with quality. Went through the AA, warrant, vin, rego without a hitch.
Thankyou.
There is just a tape deck; no CD player. It is our
intention to fit a CD and your offer of $250 NZ to help towards this would
be much appreciated.

Regards
Don


Maarten:
Great Tony! Arrived as described. Only needed new front brake pads to pass
compliance testing. Thank you for you good service.

Speaking of which, how much would a 98 onwards Honda Odyssey, 7 seater cost?

Maarten

PS what details do you need happy to be a reference.

Leslie:

I have not seen it yet. Just got back from Barbados. The Client called me. She is Pleased. Thanks to you. You will certainly see some more business from me this year as this is what we called an Election Year and there will be General Elections in Antigua and Barbuda. Around this time, lots of people receive Duty Free Concessions for Motor Vehicles. So in a few weeks we should have some work to do. I HOPE.


Lennox:

Greetings received with thanks, the Pulsar is in good shape and working excellent.I referred Winston to you hope you can do business with him. Seasons greetings and the best for 2004.


I took delivery of the vehicle and had all the necessary documentation completed today, the vehicle is with my mechanic for routine maintenance check; the initial observation is that the body and upholstery is in good condition.

Mike:

It was nice doing business with you and you can look forward to me recommending you to would be purchasers.
