It sounds like people are leading you up the garden path or at least not making it easy for you to understand your options. You should be able to import this car under the 'personal import' laws which is totally different to the SEVS compliance scheme, so you will not need to meet the SEVS compliance requirements however the car will need to be legal in Brisbane.

Please feel free to call me directly on 0400 502 250 (+61400502250 from NZ) and I will be happy to go through things in more detail for you if necessary.

Give J-Spec a call on the number listed above - Personal Import is your best way to do things by far.

We usually over allow a little on our estimated prices so there is a good chance that it will be slightly under budget unless there are any unforseen costs along the way, in any case it will usually be within a few hundred dollars either way.

Please call us regarding your specific car, the information noted on our website is mainly for 'SEVS compliance' laws which effect most people - you case would be different as you should be able to import under the 'personal import' laws which I would like to explain to you in more detail.

The personal import laws are a LOT more relaxed so you will not need to return the car to totally standard or replace tyres if they are in good condition already.

he jspec , why not reply to some of your emails for cars on your website rather than reply to posts on this site not even directed to you ?

not ragging on you are anything but I gave up using your company cause I couldnt even get a respone out of you

the funny thing is the cars i enquired in december and got no response about are still on your list now
