Frequently asked questions about importing a car from Japan to New Zealand
How much can I save? On a regular car usually $3,000 to $5,000, and on an expensive car often $7,000 to $15,000.
What does it cost to start? Nothing. Registration is free and the $1,000 deposit is only needed when you are ready to buy.
What is your fee? The service fee varies depending on the Total Importing Price of the car. If the total cost of the car is up to $19,999, our service fee is $1,000 plus gst.
How long does it take? Around 1.5 to 2.5 months from choosing the car to picking it up, depending on the next ship. Electric cars other than the Nissan Leaf take longer, around 3 to 5 months. A Leaf takes the same time as any other car.
Which auction grade should I buy? Grade 4.5 or 5. Grade 4 is fine if you don't mind some wear.
How do I pay? Bank transfer to our ANZ account, PayPal, or card through Stripe up to $9,000 with a 2.9% surcharge.
Where can the car be delivered? Auckland, Wellington, Nelson and Christchurch at the same price, any other town at trade cost.
Is the car insured in transit? Yes, from the auction house in Japan to the compliance centre, with damage under $500 not covered.
What is compliance? An inspection like a warrant of fitness, usually $650 to $850 in fees plus any repair the inspector asks for.
How far behind New Zealand is Japan? Three hours in winter and four in summer, so a 1 pm bid here lands mid morning in Tokyo.
