Before we bid, a person confirms import eligibility against this exact vehicle and its build date, not against the model name.

BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE

Why wait for one from Japan?

This is a 64,000 km Wrx carrying an auction grade, bought at your ceiling. The question is what you know about it — and whether waiting for the right one beats taking the first local listing.

BETTER VALUE

A full landed figure before you commit

Shipping, customs, GST, compliance and our fee — itemised from the same rate card as the calculator, against the ceiling you set.

KNOW THE CONDITION

An independent inspector graded it before it ran

An auction grade, an interior grade, and a sheet our team reads with you before bidding. Local private sales come with none of that.

MORE CHOICE

More of the same model running this week

If this one is wrong on kilometres, colour, build month or price, another one runs tomorrow.

WE DON’T HAVE TO SETTLE

Your ceiling is the end of the conversation

Bidding past it, or a sheet we do not like once we read it, and we stop. There is no pressure to buy this particular car.

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.

Condition: what is published, and what we check

Japanese auction houses grade every car before it runs. Some of that grading is published in the feed. The rest sits on the sheet, and one of our team reads it with you before anyone bids.

PUBLISHED GRADE

4of a possible 5

Grade 4 is the auction house inspector's overall read on the car: the higher the number, the less it needs on arrival. Grade 4 and above is the floor we apply to anything we put in front of you.

INTERIOR GRADE

Graded separately on a letter scale. What sits behind the letter is on the sheet, and we can go through it with you.

Comparable results across auction houses

Completed auction results for the same variant and grade band, pooled across every auction house we track. This is the evidence behind the ceiling we suggest, not a promise of what this lot will do.
