Direct Import Cars from Japan to New Zealand

Looking to direct import cars from Japan? Moku Motors helps New Zealand buyers search Japanese car auctions and select vehicles that match their needs, preferred specifications and expected budget.

Each vehicle listing displays an Estimated Final Price in NZD. This estimate can include the vehicle price, Japan-side costs, shipping, import charges, Customs clearance, compliance, entry certification, on-road costs and Moku’s service margin. Because exchange rates, inspections and other costs can change, review the inclusions and applicable disclaimers before bidding.

Before Moku places a bid, we explain the available auction information, vehicle grade, noted condition and estimated landed cost. A refundable bidding deposit confirms your approved budget. If the bid is unsuccessful, the deposit can be transferred to another suitable vehicle or refunded according to Moku’s applicable terms.

From auction bidding and shipping coordination to compliance preparation and delivery, Moku supports customers in Auckland and throughout New Zealand.

We explain the available auction grade, inspector comments, noted scratches, dents, repairs and other recorded imperfections before you approve a bid. An auction grade is helpful, but it should not be treated as a complete mechanical guarantee.

Each listing displays an Estimated Final Price in NZD, including the stated Japan-side costs, shipping, import charges, compliance, on-road costs and Moku’s service margin. Final costs can change due to exchange rates, inspections or additional work.
