Topkart R33 Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 You can try John Whiteman on 0407185300. I used him and was fairly easy to deal with. $1000 for his troubles and he does all the ringing around 4 you.

noise Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 (edited) Sick of fees, yet want to pay some one to make phone calls and emails for you? I dont get it. If you must use a broker then why not use one that runs a compliance workshop? at least they do somthing useful for you.

So do a Search of the forums and you will find people who were in the same situation as yourself. Even PM them and ask how they went Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/95207-wanting-to-import-with-a-private-broker/#findComment-1783419 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer Baron Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 j-spec. paid them $1k, and i basically sit here and wait for the car.handling everything. freight the car from qld to melb, tow truck to compliance work shop. too easy <{POST_SNAPBACK}> j-spec are great, really good service. but don't forget that on top of the $1k fee to j-spec you are also (in most cases) paying at least 100 000yen FOB to a japanese suplier. it is quite possible to deal directly with those suppliers, but of course people like j-spec have a much wider access to cars, and more aus specific knowledge. I'd suggest if you are reall just after a cheap car then go to a jap supplier. if you are buying something a little more expensive like a 34 GTR then i would say it's worth going with someone like j-spec.
