Export Agents

[Flat Pack]

I'm looking to import a JZA70 Supra from Japan and I was hoping that someone could recommend a company that could help me find a car, handle the bidding etc in Japan and arrange shipping. There seem to be loads of companies that do this, but sending money to a company on the other side of the world that I know virtually nothing about is a bit daunting :)

A shipping agent in Liverpool would be useful too, but probably not for quite a while yet...

There seem to be companies that offer an end to end type service too, where you buy a car at auction and then handle everything to get it registered in the UK, I'm quite happy to do the MOT prep work and get the car registered myself so I'm not sure what I'd gain from that type of service. They tend to have higher fixed costs too, which'd be an issue as the car isn't exactly high value to start with. Do these companies offer some hidden value or is it easy enough to do yourself?

Thanks for the help :)

I used a company called Autoadvan to bring in my 2002 Estima - they were superb and I will certainly use them again in the future. I have also seen many of the cars other guys bought through them, and have yet to find someone that was disappointed. Here's a link to their site;

You can either buy from the auctions or buy cars that are at a fixed price, either way I think you'll find that they are worth a try.
