If you are a classic car or JDM enthusiast then you know that they just don’t make cars like they used to. However, this doesn’t mean that we should be limited to what is currently on the Australian market. The Japanese market offers access to clean, stock & affordable JDM’s. Ranging from S2K’s all the way to Godzilla’s. We can even import a tofu car.
There are many challenges when it comes to financing an imported vehicle. This includes age of vehicle, lender limits, some lenders not accepting grey imported vehicles or some lenders wanting the vehicle to be in Australia prior to funding. With all these limitations you may think it is impossible to finance and imported vehicle. However, we see these challenges day in and day out. Based on your specific situation, we can provide realistic options and work with you to get you into your dream car.
At Tofu Auto we also have an import network that can help you source, inspect, import & comply the car. We are truly a one-stop-shop.
