Success Stories

Paul came to us to begin the importing process in March 2023, and hoped we could find him exactly what he was after - the highest specification of a late model BMW 540i. Paul had given us some criteria for the cars specification that he wanted - 4WD, an M-Sport model, low kilometres, but also needed to fit in his budget. After just 2 weeks of searching the auctions, we found one that fitted all aspects Paul wanted. Once bought into NZ, it was complied and groomed up fully for him. The navigation was changed to NZ maps and then it was ready to go. Paul traded in 2 of his cars and he was able to be on the road in no time in his new BMW 540i.

Chloie initally purchased a Toyota 86 and absolutely loved it. Eventually she decided it was time to upgrade, and come to us wanting a late model Honda Civic turbo. She knew exactly what she wanted, had a budget to stick to, and whilst we were in Japan buying - we found the perfect one for her. Photos & details of the car were sent to Chloie and she fell in love. We ended up bidding on it, winning it, and bringing it over for her.

Paul came to us in January 2024, wanting a 2018 Audi A5 S-Line 4WD with the highest possible specification the car was made with. This specific car proved to be a very rare find, but after about a month of searching the auctions every week, we found the exact one Paul wanted AND at well below market price. Paul saved around $8,000 by importing with us rather than buying in NZ and also found himself with the highest possible specification Audi A5 at the time. He traded in his Audi S4, we exchanged keys and he’s loving his new Audi A5!
