there is no real point dealing with these guys ,they are used car dealers that buy there cars from auction like everybody else and detail them before export ,most things they do prior to car leaving japan is done at compliance anyway ..oils ,filters ,brakes,tyres etc and a good detail is only $150 -$165 ..anything they do "extra" is charged at japan labour rates which is about twice the australian labour rate so personally i can`t see any real reason to buy from them .there is a thousand "exporters" over there ..which basically means "we take car from auction house to port for you"

just my opinion anyway

I actually didnt know that changing oils ,filters ,brakes,tyres were compliance.

Good stuff, good to know though.

Im actually from Canada where importing from Japan is now just taking off. Its been said that in Canada we are where you guys were 4 years ago in terms of importing, so I figured I would see what the more experienced guys had to say

Thanks!
