Found a car overseas? We check if it still makes sense landed here.
Send us the listing. We check the real landed cost, the paperwork, the seller risk and the Australian price evidence before you spend serious money.
Example file
F355 Manual RHD
UK ask: GBP 69,950. Estimated landed: A$192k-A$211k. Australian evidence: A$214k-A$297k. Next step: check seller, history and inspection.
Illustrative buyer cost file
See every assumption before deciding whether to inspect.
This example is illustrative, not a quotation, tax advice, an offer, or a completed client outcome. It uses the current calculator method and leaves unconfirmed allowances visibly unknown.
Illustrative freight/export allowance. Marine insurance remains subject to an actual quote and policy terms.
5% duty, 10% GST and 33% LCT above the A$80,809 threshold using the existing model. Eligibility and taxable value require confirmation.
Do not treat an absent inspection, repair or compliance allowance as A$0.
Existing calculator allowance only; confirm the current scope and fee before engagement.
Set a vehicle-specific buffer after history, inspection, freight and compliance evidence.
Asking prices are context, not proof of achieved value. No saving is claimed without sold-backed evidence.
Confirm availability, identity/title, import path, seller/payee, inspection scope, landed budget and payment route.
1996 Porsche 993 Carrera 2 Manual
A$175k-A$192k landed
Australian evidence sits around A$224k. It only works if the seller, history and inspection all check out.
1993 Toyota Supra RZ Twin Turbo manual
Manual status must be proven
Strong demand is not enough. We check build date, gearbox evidence, modifications and Australian sales evidence.
1964 Jaguar E-Type Series I
Pretty photos are not enough
Rust, originality, inspection photos and import papers decide whether this is a dream car or a problem.
The buyer question
“Is this actually a good buy once it lands in Australia?”
That is what the A$495 check answers. You get a clear view of the real cost, the main risks, the evidence we found and whether the car is worth moving to inspection or negotiation.
We check age, build date, modifications and the likely Australian import path.
We look at the seller, documents, VIN, export papers and invoice route before funds move.
We estimate the Australian landed range including freight, taxes, compliance and buffers.
We compare against Australian evidence and say if the numbers still look sensible.
Use this when
You have a listing in mind.
Send the car link, your delivery state and any questions. We tell you what to check next, what could go wrong and whether it is worth spending more time on.
What you get
A plain yes / maybe / avoid view.
The file is not a profit promise. If the evidence is weak, the car is too risky or the landed cost no longer makes sense, we say that clearly.
Simple first step
Pay A$495 and send us the car.
We check the listing before you commit to inspection, negotiation, freight or a seller deposit.
