Landed Cost
What will it cost to land your car in Australia?
The auction price is only part of the story. A realistic landed cost adds everything between the hammer dropping in Japan and the keys landing in your hand, and it varies with the vehicle, the pathway and your state.
That’s why we don’t publish guesswork prices or an instant calculator. Tell us the car and budget, and Vincere prepares a line-by-line landed-cost estimate for your exact vehicle before you commit to anything.
Vehicle eligibility, import approvals, duties, taxes, biosecurity, compliance requirements, shipping and final landed cost vary by vehicle and customer circumstances. Details are confirmed before purchase.

Why Vincere
Importing alone vs importing with Vincere
Coordinating it yourself
- Buying off a listing and a scanned auction sheet you can’t verify
- Guessing the total from the auction price and hoping
- Juggling an exporter, shipping agent, customs broker and compliance workshop separately
- Translating auction grades and condition notes yourself
- Discovering eligibility or compliance problems after the car is bought
- Emotional bidding with no ceiling
Importing with Vincere

- A full landed-cost breakdown before you commit, not a guess
- One point of contact from sourcing through to delivery
- Auction information translated and reviewed in full

- A defined bidding ceiling, agreed with you before auction day

Import FAQ
Import questions, answered.
There’s no single figure: the landed cost combines the purchase price with auction and export handling, inland Japanese transport, freight and marine insurance, import approval, customs and GST, any biosecurity work, compliance and registration preparation, and Australian delivery. Vincere prepares a line-by-line estimate for your specific car before you commit.
No. Eligibility depends on the specific vehicle and the import pathways available under Australia’s road vehicle standards laws. Vincere checks the likely pathway for your car before you buy anything, so you never purchase a vehicle that can’t legally come in.
It varies with the vehicle, shipping schedules, biosecurity and the compliance pathway. As a general guide, many imports take roughly 4–12 weeks from purchase to delivery in Australia, but sourcing the right car can add time; we’d rather wait for the right one than rush the wrong one. You’ll get a realistic timeline with your quote.
No. Tell us the make, model, spec and budget, or even just the idea, and we source suitable candidates through the Japanese auction and dealer network. That’s the core of the service.
A realistic market read on what good examples are selling for, the likely import pathway, and a breakdown of the costs between the auction and your driveway: purchase, export handling, freight and insurance, approvals, customs and GST, biosecurity, compliance preparation and delivery. Final figures are confirmed before purchase.
Japanese auction houses grade each car’s overall and interior condition and record damage, repairs and notes on an auction sheet. Grades and conventions vary between auction houses, so Vincere translates the full sheet and reviews the condition information, rather than relying on a grade number alone, before any bid.
Yes. Candidate vehicles are inspected in Japan and their auction information reviewed before we bid. You see the photos, video and translated auction sheet, and we agree on a bidding ceiling together. If a car isn’t right, we tell you to walk away.
Vincere is not a credit provider and doesn’t give financial advice, but we work directly with Entrust Finance, who arrange vehicle finance for customers referred through us. Applications are subject to Entrust Finance’s lending criteria, terms and fees, and Vincere may receive a referral fee; this doesn’t affect the rate you’re offered.
Yes. Delivery is coordinated Australia-wide, including Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide and regional areas. The vehicle moves through the compliance pathway applicable to your state before it reaches you.
We go straight back to hunting. We bid to the ceiling we agreed with you and never chase a car past what it’s worth; missing one at the right price beats winning one at the wrong price. Good examples come through the auctions constantly.
