2018 Subaru Forester 4WD

Hi Daniel, Car arrived in excellent condition. All the bits & pieces were present - just as shown on the Japanese web site. Thanks for the valet and the FULL tank of fuel. Much appreciated. I agree it drives beautifully with that V8 smoothness & just oh so quiet - very happy. Cheers, Jeff

Buying a Japanese car without the auction uncertainty. Great value car, delivered on time and excellent customer service. Will be buying my next car from them also.

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.

Very friendly team. I have bought a vehicle from them. Every step used has a notification telling you what you have chosen. From the start to end it required no hassel at all. The car is especially comfy and the whole family loves it.

We recently had the pleasure of purchasing our second vehicle from Autoport and cannot praise their service highly enough. Being an online dealer, one would be nervous, however Dan's communication and constant update was outstanding. Dan had gone above and beyond to ensure that our car buying experience was nothing short of exceptional. There is a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction. Throughout the entire process, he was attentive, responsive, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure that I was completely satisfied with my purchase, and handling the entire finance process, making it an absolute breeze too! There were no hidden fees or surprises, and they were upfront and honest about all aspects of the transaction. I felt confident and reassured knowing that I was in good hands throughout the entire process. Their enthusiasm was contagious, and it made the entire car buying experience not only stress-free but also enjoyable. We will not go back to a physical dealer any longer to purchase a vehicle. I cannot recommend Autoport, Dan and team highly enough to anyone in search of a new car. Their exceptional service, expertise, integrity, and passion for helping customers make them truly stand out in the industry. If you're looking for a team that will go above and beyond to ensure that you have a seamless and satisfying car buying experience, look no further!!! Cheers, Nishana

Start to finish the communication has been outstanding and the customer service top notch. Daniel and the team always kept me up to update with the progress of my vehicle, from leaving Japan to driving away in the car. They have done an awesome job at making the import process as simple as possible while they do all the hard work. I would highly recommend Autoport to anyone looking to import a vehicle and I’ll be using them again in the future.

Totally recommend Autoport, picked up my Subaru Outback September 2023 and it is such a smooth beautiful reliable car. Would definitely go this way again in the future, straight from Japan, no NZ owners. Very lucky to have purchased a well looked after vehicle.

Absolutely exceptional service. Daniel and the team should be proud of what they have built. I can wholeheartedly recommend importing with Autoport. They really did take the stress out of what would otherwise be a stressful process. We are so happy with our car and thank you Daniel for your incredible service. When we buy another car in future we WILL be back. That's a guarantee.

I had a great experience buying through Autoport. After I had selected a vehicle in Japan the Autoport team swung into gear and their Japanese agent checked the vehicle out at the car lot. I wanted to make sure it was accident free, the mileage was as indicated and the car was in good condition for its age. After making sure all was Ok I entered into a purchase agreement and the deposit was paid. From that point on the purchase was without any hassles. When the car arrived at the Japanese departure dock it was checked out by Autoport's accredited agents to meet NZ Government entry requirements. It passed with flying colours and was then on the boat to NZ. On arrival in NZ all the compliance details were handled professionally by Autoport and then the balance of the purchase was paid. After registration was completed the car was ready for pickup. At all stages of the purchase I was kept fully informed by Autoport's friendly staff, Daniel and Carlene. This was my first Japanese car purchase and Autoport made it a pleasant experience - my initial apprehension gone. thanks Autoport.

Great company, awesome communication, I felt like I could purchase and import with confidence through them and it was our first time importing a vehicle directly from Japan. The vehicle was amazing and Daniel went the extra mile to ensure we had all we required, even sourcing an extra key and just getting the vehicle all ready so when we collected it we didn't have to do a thing. I will be using AutoPort again in the near future and I highly recommend them to everyone!

From start to finish Autoport were outstanding. Their customer service team were of the highest standard and their range of vehicles covers anything that you would need. Highly recommend to any one needing a new vehicle.

I'm not big on writing but just would say a big thanks to Autoport for importing the Toyota Mirai. You guys do a first class-job and I would highly recommend your company.

I had never purchased a vehicle on-line before, so I was apprehensive about how it all worked. I need not have worried, Autoport was obviously experienced as they answered all my questions reassuringly and allayed my fears by explaining the process clearly to me. They informed me of progress as it happened, the clearance, the loading, the transporting, even the whereabouts of the ship and its ports of call. Whatever paper work was required of them, they informed me, asked me in a timely fashion for my documents. I never felt under pressure and was impressed with their efficiency. I was even met at the airport and taken to their depot where again, all the paperwork was completed, and the car was mine! But it didn't stop there. I can't read Japanese. However, my queries about how something worked on the dashboard were patiently explained. The car is going well! I would not hesitate to recommend this company, and method of purchasing, to anyone. And I am really enjoying the car.

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.

Thanks to the Autoport team, a seamless process from start to finish. I was kept in the loop throughtout process from inspection at the Japan side till ready for collection in Auckland. Special thanks to Daniel providing precise details and kind enough to deliver my car as I was unable to pick up due to an unforseen circumtance. Highly recommend buying from them if you find the right car.

Buying a vehicle, especially for my favorite wife who knew what she wanted, could've been a stressful experience. I'm very thankful the car we found was with Daniel and David at Autoport. They were professional and easy to deal with throughout, and did everything promised in the time frame specified. They were open to a bit of negotiation (thank you), sorted the new radio/Android Auto interface for us, and kept us up with the play at every step. Cath is smiling. Thanks guys! Def recommend using Autoport.

Purchased a Porsche Panamera from Japan in 2021 via Autoport, process was excellent across the board, including after delivery assistance with troubleshooting/finding the factory head unit unlock code. Car arrived in immaculate condition. Many Thanks!

I've now imported two cars via Autoport, both PHEVs, and I am happy to report that on both occasions I found the process to be seamless. Each time their team took care of everything from pre-purchase inspection in Japan to compliance and vinning in NZ, providing email updates along the way - the only hard part was waiting for my vehicles to arrive! The only paperwork on my end was applying to NZTA for the Clean Car Rebate. So if you're seeking a specific model or trim level not available here, Autoport is the place I found mine, and I'll recommend them to anyone!

I recently bought an Audi TT Quattro from Autoport in Auckland. The entire exercise was very easy as I live a considerable distance away! David and Daniel were very helpful and informative during the entire process! I have no hesitation in recommending Autoport to others, as the entire process was carefully and professionally organised and I am extremely happy with my car!

My son was looking for a Nissan Fairlady 370Z and he could not find it exactly what he wanted. As I was browsing around I came across Autoport and saw exactly what my son wanted, so I ordered it from them. The whole process was stress free, awesome service and a very friendly team, esp. Daniel. He went extra miles to make sure the car was going to be delivered as promised. I would highly recommend Autoport to families and friends and I would definitely consider them If I am ready to get me a new ride :) Keep up the good service guys.

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.

It was a Rolls Royce service from Autoport when I recently received my selected car, a Toyota Yaris Cross. From the initial phone conversation with one of the directors until the delivery it was a seamless, professional transaction. I highly recommend Autoport to prospective clients. If you are wanting open and honest communication, expert advice and knowledge about the auto trade and value for money then take the plunge and buy from Autoport where a team of professionals can realise your dream for your next auto purchase. Every detail is covered and every question is answered. 5 Stars Autoport *****

I discovered Autoport late last year with a goal of getting a car I've always wanted. The selection of cars was amazing, and with the option of being able to get help finding and sourcing a car in japan really stood out to me. The process was very easy once we got it underway, with the team at Autoport happy to help in any way they could. From the financing, to the transport of the car from Japan to NZ, to the compliance and getting ready to take on NZ roads, everything was so streamlined. Once they took delivery of the car the team went above and beyond to get the car into perfect shape ready to hand over the keys. I highly recommend Autoport for anybody looking for their next car, with such an easy and straight forward process you don't want to miss out on your next pride and joy!

The experience was seamless and well-organised by the team at Autoport. From my first viewing on the internet through to pre-purchase inspections, delivery to the port in Japan, transportation and arrival in NZ to final certification and ultimate delivery to my home. Couldn't have been more efficient.

I am more than happy to recommend Autoport to my friends and family.

I was looking for a classy European car and settled on a Porsche Panamera. The Hybrid model swung the deal to ease my environmental guilt. The purchase process through Autoport was very easy once the decision was made. Like a good cheese it took a while to arrive but considering the logistics in these uncertain (frightening) times it was well worth it. The car was well presented and met all expectations. The end price delivered to Nelson was less than I had expected, and I wouldn't hesitate to be guided by the Autoport team in the future. Paul.

Awesome service, great communication throughout the process of importing the car from Japan. I would definitely recommend if you wanted to go this way in purchasing a vehicle. Great website too. Thanks. Ashley.

David, Daniel, and Natalie are amazing, the communication from this team is outstanding through the whole process. When you are given the name of the ship that your vehicle is on the excitement enhances. The car when I collected it exceeded my expectations, the car was delivered like new. The years warranty sold me on this, you do not get that included from any dealer unless you pay extra. I highly recommend Autoport.

I had my Subaru XV Hybrid delivered a couple of weeks ago, and I have been more than pleased with the vehicle. It was in excellent condition, low mileage and everything came out tops in an AA inspection. Though the current pandemic meant it was delayed later than expected both Daniel and Natalie kept me informed and allayed my concerns. This was my first time buying a car in this online fashion, I was quite apprehensive, but the care, professionalism, quality focused process and high standard of cars being imported meant I got a great buy. Would definitely recommend these guys and likely to do it again in future. Thanks Daniel and Natalie.

I used Autoport's "Find me a Car" service in April to search for the latest model Toyota Sienta. Their response was impressively quick, and within a few weeks, they had listed over ten options for me. Although they couldn't initially find the color I wanted, they continued searching while I did my own research. Eventually, I found the perfect match on a Japanese dealer’s website and shared it with Autoport. They handled the deal swiftly and efficiently, making the entire process seamless. By late April, I paid the deposit, and by late July, the car arrived. The entire experience was stress-free, and I appreciated that Autoport took care of everything. Daniel and Carlene were exceptionally helpful throughout, patiently answering all my questions along the way. It's been two months now, and the car is performing wonderfully. I’m grateful for their efforts and highly recommend Autoport for their outstanding service.

Daniel and the team me helped me import a car from Japan. The process was smooth. Daniel was really good to work with. I would definately use Autoport again for my next import.

Very pleased with the service that we received from Autoport, and especially Daniel, our salesman. The company definitely went "The extra mile" to make sure our car was presented in top condition. Thanks guys.

Very happy with my new car the process and communication. Price was on par with cars in NZ but I wasn't here for price alone it was for a GTR which there was not many in NZ to choose from but alot of options on Autoport. Thank you.

Great Service, these guys were excellent at communicating with me throughout the whole way till I picked up my car and after with any issues, would definitely buy from them again.

Hello 👋 Julie from Blossoms Boutique Papamoa, I needed a larger Car for my business and always wanting a Land Rover Discovery. The team from Autoport were the best! Nothing was a problem, all the questions I asked them nearly every day! We’re answered truthfully and that’s what I needed to convince hubby. Great team! Great Company! Will and have recommended lots, so do please use them 😊 Julie n Paul Blossoms Boutique Papamoa

Have found the entire experience to be excellent, great communication and a genuine desire to do the very best for the client, have referred them on to several people and will continue to do so. Will be using this service again 100%.

Autoport gave me the car I selected from the Japanese market, hassle free and trustworthy service. Buying the latest variants and specs from this market is exciting for me, and Autoport provide this opportunity where everything is upfront no surprises. Thank you.

In May 2021 I decided to purchase my next car through the Internet, while living in Australia. There was a website I liked a lot by the name of "autoport.nz". After searching through it for a while I found a beautiful Mercedes E250, equipped with all the bells and whistles one would expect from such a car. It had a very low (guaranteed) mileage. The price was more than reasonable. So, my wife and decided to go for it. I contacted Autoport.nz. A very helpful and nice person named Daniel contacted me and told me how to go about purchasing a car from them. I paid the initial ten percent deposit of the car’s price. Then the car was checked thoroughly, first in Japan, after shipping it to NZ it was once again checked here. When my wife and I arrived in NZ in July 2021 the car was very nicely groomed and waiting for me, as agreed with Daniel and Natalie (another nice and supportive person of Autoport.nz). So, all up, I like the car, I like the way I was treated as a customer and there’s nothing I could complain about. In fact, our younger daughter is currently in the process of getting three cars from Autoport.NZ, one for her husband, one for her daughter, and one for herself. Finally, I’d like to mention that I am not linked in any way to Autoport.nz or receive any payment for my testimonial.

Good guys to deal with, kept informed throughout the process, vehicle was as described at a very good price compared to what was available in NZ.

She is amazing to drive and had alot of fun, really appreciate the help mate thank you.

Thanks to Autoport for the wonderful service, I ordered my car and you delivered without any difficulties. The time frame was just phenomenal. The services were just excellent. I will continue to use Autoport, and am expecting to order my next car in a few years to come.

I'm very happy with the condition of the vehicle over all.

I bought the red Subaru Outback a week ago. The car is great, goes really well, like a new car, it has full service history from Japan, so was very well looked after. Thanks for the good service as well.

The thought of importing a car was something my wife and I have thought about in the past, but it fell into the too hard basket and we had no idea where to start, that was until a friend introduced me to Autoport. Autoport had 1000’s of cars to choose from and we found a late model car with much lower km’s and price than we could find from any dealer here in NZ and they took care of absolutely everything. We were a little apprehensive during the 6 week wait for the car to arrive but we needn’t have been as Autoport kept us up to date every step of the way and when the car arrived it exceeded our expectations and had been valeted to a near new look. Autoport are great to deal with and I would happily use them for our next car.

I hadn’t planned to buy my car online ... until I saw the deal. Autoport had the best price, lowest mileage, came with all the On Road Costs, and had a mechanical warranty... I figured Autoport had the best deal by far. I would absolutely recommend using Autoport – I already have. Matthew M

Although I was skeptical at first to deal with Autoport, I was pleasantly surprised when they actually found a car that not only matched my requirements, but also exceeded the same - I got more than what I had asked for and at the price I wanted to pay. It is easy to deal with Autoport; their communication is frequent and without lengthy delays in between, especially when dealing with Ryan. Once again; a big Thank You to Autoport for the great deal and awesome experience!

Found this company to be quite easy to deal with a very good selection of cars to choose from. Highly recommend it to anyone and I will definitely be coming back again for my next car.

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.

We needed a cheap replacement car for the bach. We couldn’t be bothered with auctions or visiting dealers and found Autoport quick and easy with plenty of choice. Just tell them what you want online or over the phone. We saved time with absolutely no hassles (David managed all the negotiations, shipping etc.) and we still saved money. I’m very happy to recommend Autoport.

I love my little Vitz, it even has paddles! It’s never missed a beat, is good on fuel and looks great. I’m retired so wasn’t 100% sure about using an internet site to buy a car, but talking to David and getting to know all the checks they do and them doing to price haggle made it easy for me. I couldn’t believe how good the car was when it turned up. When I buy another car I’ll use Autoport.

That was so easy, absolutely zero stress. I got exactly what I wanted and saved a lot of money and time. Ryan kept me informed all the way of where the car was at, when it arrived in NZ and when it would be ready to collect. I was happy the price even included breakdown insurance, rego and petrol so when I picked it up there was nothing more to pay, just ready to go. Thanks I’ll buy from you again.

We’re a retired couple and needed a reliable car at the right price. Dealing with a NZ company who handles everything took the hassle away. We didn’t have to worry about haggling with anyone over the price or getting pushed into buying extras and the price we ended up paying was much better than local prices. Overall this was very easy and not like normally buying a used car. We were totally comfortable with this purchase and made a great saving. We’ll never buy anywhere else from now on.
