2016 BMW 1 Series 118d

Having been a Jaguar enthusiast for more than 65 years I was trying to find a low mileage classic Jaguar to enjoy while I could still drive. I found such a car in Japan. I had no idea how to go about having it thoroughly inspected to ensure it was genuinely as reported. Even less how to securely purchase the vehicle. Have it removed from the Japanese register. Complete export documentation and shipping. Arrange for import to NZ or the procedure to have it registered, WOF etc ready to legally drive here. Here the wonderful team at Autoport.nz took over. They set out an easily understood breakdown of the procedure and costs from initial inspection, purchase, shipping and costs in NZ ready for me to drive away. I paid a 10% deposit and left everything to them. It was a completely seamless operation from the time that I asked them to buy the car until they told me it was ready for me to drive away. It could not have been a better experience. The car was 'as new' from the showroom. The final account exactly as expected. Within an hour of taking delivery of the beautiful Jaguar, with no obligation to do so, they also helped me make a no risk sale of my previous vehicle at a very satisfactory price. I thoroughly recommend the team at Autoport.nz to anyone considering importing a vehicle from overseas. They updated me regularly on progress, sent photos pre purchase and prior to shipping, and again on arrival. I wouldn't think of going further than the Autoport team if I wanted another car. Efficient, honest, reliable and straight-out nice people.

Stop reading - call them up and have a chat. Communication was faultless and we were in good hands throughout. The car's been stripped down, inspected for hidden damage, and arrived on our driveway without a scratch. First of its model registered in NZ - no dramas. Old man almost cracked a smile. Now if only he'd drive it instead of looking at it all day.

We weren’t sure about buying a near new car from the UK as we didn’t like the idea of sending a lot of cash overseas and we didn’t know about claiming VAT. Autoport managed all that. The car had just 500 miles on the clock, was highly spec’d and the savings were very, very significant! Totally comfortable and totally trustworthy service and I like we got the right car direct from the source but dealt with a local NZ company. Very happy thanks for the great deal.

Picked up my Lexus GSF of Daniel very happy with car. Communication was excellent from Carlene from pick up in japan to delivered in country. I would use Autoport again without a second hesitation. Daniel and team made it so easy to deal with buying a car online which can be a daunting experience. Thanks team certainly will be using autoport again for next car purchase.
