Hi,
Thank you very much for your answer. I have a few questions for you and please, allow me. Do you buy yourself or do you order them? How much cost you for their service fees? Do you know someone can arrange import for my car? Thanks again for your help.
Cheers,
Cliff
Yeah there are heaps of importers mate. Just buy yourself a copy of High Performance Imports at your local newsagent and they have heaps of ads for importers. A majority of them import alot of Nissan's, but slowly there have been a steady increase of Toyota imports hitting the shores. Mark II, Caldina etc..
There's heaps of them around with websites, but i cant think of any from the top of my head.
sspi.com.au
j-spec.com.au
svi.com.au
The way that I imported my car was that I provided them with a budget and the type of car that I wanted. They themselves deal with their people who scour around the auction websites with what I wanted. They contacted me at work with photo's of the car and specs that was in my budget -- and of course, you're not obligated to buy it.
Once I received details of an R33 that I wanted, I told them to bid for it and I put in a deposit. When I won it, it took about 6 weeks for it to arrive in Australia. That's where they took it to their shop and did whatever they had to, to reach the aus requirements.
Then I just transferred the rego after the 3 months rego they gave with the car and here it still remains.
I reckon just take it easy. Join the forums and clubs and read about their experiences and shizzle..
I hope that answers your question(s).
Hi,
Thank you very much for everyone who contributed to my questions. I have found some importers in Melbourne and they offer me for to import Toyota Aristo from Japan. However the AU$ 6000.00 Toyota Aristo 3.0 V Package Twin Turbo with less than 50000 Km car will be cost me more than AU$ 12000.00 for on the road. The only way to import Aristo is under RAW scheme and it can not import under the SEVS category. It’s not very cheap for 15 years old car. I have only one advantage on importing car from Japan is we can choose and check car thoroughly by my family in Tokyo and Nagoya, Japan. Also about spare parts for car, even thought I can get spare parts from Japan but postage is very expensive to send to Australia. So I will set back for a while and more research to import Toyota Supra under SEVS scheme. Thank you very much again your guy. I’m very happy about receiving valuable information from all of you. Have a nice day to anyone.
All the best,
Cliff
