Hey Ben,
I Just picked up the crown this morning and words can't describe how clean it is! Just wanted to thank you for all the time and effort you put in for me and my partner.
The compliance workshop said it was the cleanest JZS171 they had seen in a long long time.
I have a few people interested in importing a car from japan and I will be sending them right in your direction!
Once again, thank you very much! Very happy with the overall service and how easy you made everything.

The J-Spec Mileage Promise
Speedo tampering is rife in the Australian market to the point where more imports than not sold by Australian dealers have had their mileage wound back. See how importing yourself easily avoids this pitfall.

This is a very rare Mitsubishi Starion GSR-VR widebody. Under the current import laws we can only import 1988 models (1989 and later are not eligible), since the widebody GSR-VR versions only started production in 1988 this means there is a pool today of probably less than 100 in Japan in existence that are can be imported, and this is one of them. This is a hard to find car and these are worth excellent money locally.

This car is listed in the Featured section
This car may be from an export agent, Japanese dealer or some other source, it is listed here because we think it has appealing features or an excellent price. Circumstances will vary, but usually Featured vehicles are from a source where we can either have a car inspected prior to purchase, or is with someone who is able to send comprehensive and reliable information about it.
How to buy this vehicle
Please contact us and we will get in touch with the seller to ask for more information about the car and for more pictures. If the car is not from a source whom we necessarily trust we can then arrange for an inspection if the car looks promising.
Is this car eligible for import?
Yes, being a 1988 vehicle it is automatically eligible for import under the 25 year old or more rule, or under the upcoming (late 2019) 25 year old rule, with no restrictions.
Compliance costs under these rules will vary for each vehicle and state, but are typically around $600 - $1,200.
Is the mileage genuine?
This car falls under The J-Spec Mileage Promise. This means the car will come with the original Export Certificate (sometimes referred to as the "dereg" document) which shows recent mileage and dates recorded for this car at the previous mandatory Japanese roadworthy inspections. This paperwork can be used to show that the mileage has not been wound back for sale to deceive you, and you will receive the ORIGINAL documentation for this.
In some cases a car listed here may display the mileage currently on the speedometer but the paperwork suggests otherwise and we will learn this upon getting more information about the car, and we would then inform you. Since you always get the paperwork you will always know if there is a discrepancy, and making sure you always get the correct and true information is why The J-Spec Mileage Promise exists. The original copies of this paperwork which you will receive is why a car bought with J-Spec acting as a consultant can always be trusted.
The details about this car have been provided by the seller of the vehicle, prices and details are subject to change, and J-Spec is not responsible for the accuracy of this information. All details can be confirmed if this car is looked into in greater detail.
