Thanks for the video, I was thinking about the process of importing cars from Japan. There are some horror stories/KZbin channels of importing dodgy cars. Good to be safe.

[@wrxcult8266]

Yes, you certainly don’t want to be stung!! Be sure to use a reputable importer. Hope you get something soon…let us know if you do 👍🏼

To import to Australia, do you need to get the Australian import approval prior to buying a car from a dealer/auction or can you apply for that after purchasing the vehicle as they say it can take up to 60 days to get an import approval but you could miss out on the car you want in that time? Or do Flat Four already have import approvals in place?

[@wrxcult8266]

Hey- best to ask Flat Four…they’ll know the right info for you 😎👊🏼

[@rc70ys]

Basically not worth the hassle and find a local one !! That’s the gist of it. Coz made absolutely no sense by time you pay this bloke import taxes rego inspections and hassles.

[@wrxcult8266]

You could be right…i managed to find the Chase Yellow Type R in Sydney after searching Japan for years..

[@elisgenelazo9329]

Do you import to Perth?

[@wrxcult8266]

Hey Eli’s- WRX Cult does not import cars but you can reach out to Flat Four that does import cars. You can find their details in the description or google. They’re located Gold Coast Qld. 👍🏼
