I am in the industry and both J-Spec imports www.j-spec.com.au and geoffe at prestigemotorsports.com have reputations because of the way the handle their clients and also to the best of their knowledge help explain what condition the car is in before being imported. In this situation I dont know it well enough to comment, but buyers over in Japan are usually the ones to report to the 'importer' in Australia about the condition of vehicles over their. This informaton is then passed on believing it too be true.. sometimes miscommunications can occur and i guess just take it up with the 'importer.' With that said cars generally should be and are in the condition specified by the 'importer'
