Landed-cost calculator

What would this car actually cost, landed in Australia?

Enter an auction price in yen for an indicative landed and compliant estimate — bidding fee, shipping, customs and our service fee, all itemised. The breakdown updates as you change any figure.

ESTIMATE ONLY, NOT A QUOTE. SHIPPING RATES AND THE EXCHANGE RATE SHOWN ARE PULLED FROM OUR CURRENT RATE CARD.

Why wait for one from Japan?

A landed figure only means something when you can set it next to a real local option. Here is why running that comparison — with figures you bring us — is usually worth it.

BETTER VALUE
More car for the same budget

You see a full landed figure — shipping, customs, GST, compliance and our fee — before you commit to a ceiling.

KNOW THE CONDITION
You see the grading before we bid

Auction grade, condition notes, verified kilometres and the inspector’s sheet, translated. In-person inspection on selected vehicles where available.

MORE CHOICE
Thousands of examples, not a handful

We search across the Japanese auction houses instead of the few of that model listed locally this week.

WE DON’T HAVE TO SETTLE
We can walk away

Poor sheet, questionable repair history, or bidding past sensible money: we stop and wait for the next one.

Yes, importing takes longer. The reason to wait is to get the right car, with more information, rather than simply the first car available locally.
