Or Imports 101, Prestige and J-spec as they spam the cars out, he is an english teacher which is why he only does Saturday auctions.

Not a good port for getting cars out.

No more to ask, Highly recommend, save your 1100$ and go direct with him.

I bought through him and got my car off the port here in Fremantle 40 days later, not 9 months like I continually read else where. Especially though that English teacher who deals part time on the weekend. Hell I talk to people who have been waiting 2 weeks for there bill of lading from that same dealer, even after there car has been off loaded from the ship 2 weeks ago.

Don’t wait to long, Mark Hocking at www.mytrading.org is highly recommended.

But if you are seriously about this, PM me your msn I can help you out with the information you need to know, I gone through this before, and have all the info you need, plus I’m in constant communication with people in the industry. I don’t do it for money, I do it to put those who make 1100$ out of us small timers to shame.

interesting how mytrading.com dont even list their service charge...hmm wonder how much he asks for his services.......

J-Spec handle clients that buy cars that both mark and david source, and I can't say I've ever heard of any trouble with either of them, but yeah, David's nearest port dosen't have the most regular stream of ships bound for Australia thru it. Guys in perth are even worse off, but if you're on the east coast it should be bearable.

i bought a car off davd zozuk already from kobecars.....and as some of u guys said.. kobe port is a bad port because not many ships goes through it? i been waiting liek 4 months and still no ships... is this because of the port thats its in? just wondering what if i put it on a container, would there be more ships with spaces that i can chuck my car on?

[re2]

5ky did you buy through a broker?

Because you live in Sydney you will find a container won’t be that expensive, from what I’ve read other people are paying for them compared to a roro ship.

I would recommend you, find someone to share a container with, share the cost. Your broker will be able to guide you on this, that’s if you purchased through a local broker.

Good luck.

hey re2.. yes i bought it off a local broker...also i am wondering how much would it cost? and the most important thing is that would it be shipped right away? as in 1-2 weeks time after i get it on a container? rather then wait for a car carrier? because i have talked to a guy whos car was at the same port as me and he bought it from the same supplier in japan and it took him 8 months to getting his car here.... if i shipped through a container would this be heaps faster? and it doesnt matter if anything gets stolen as the car is stock so theres nothing to steal off it....i just want to get the car here asap...waited long enough lolz..

[Guest]

Other people are shipping to another port as well.

Out of interest what is your suppliers name and business in Japan, and did you pay Prepaid Freight?

Speak to your broker about this shipping option and see if he can arrange to share a container for you, and yes you would get it quicker, than a RORO.

Also another thing that helps sometimes is to actually ring your supplier up in Japan (don’t leave it to your broker, as its properly friendly talk when they communicate with each other, you know keeping a healthy business relationship).

I have known people to actually ring there supplier many times during the week the boat is schedule to leave. Say a mehod of ringing, once a week before, again 2 days before the boat leaves, and again on the day it leaves. Just hope he can speak English. But you properly be amazed at what this communication can do in getting your car on the water. I believe it’s worth a try, who knows what favors he could pull his end.

whats a RORO? car carrier? lol...well i didnt know who my broker bought it car off but later somehow i found out it was from www.kobecars.com lol.. from david zozuk... i saw my car ppics in the site haha lol...how much roughly for a container if u know?

[re2]

yes Car carrier. roll on roll off. ie drive on drive off.

[5ky]

so there should be at least one ship a week that goes to austtralia that should have enough space to put the container on?

[funkymonkey]

pay Prepaid Freight?

seeing as he's in Sydney I doubt he'd have had to.
