Landed price breakdown

At your ceiling of ¥187,000
Landed and complied in Sydney…

Invoiced in three payments: the car in Japan, shipping and customs, then compliance and our fee. This is an estimate at our current rate card. The yen amounts are converted when each invoice is paid, so the AUD total moves with the exchange rate. Registration and stamp duty are extra.

Sold results for this car
