EP82 Toyota Starlet GT Turbo

I recently had the experience of importing a car using the services of JDM Auction Watch. I sent a general Email to them and Ross replied fairly promptly with a bit of back and forth about what I was after, a Toyota Camry Hybrid. Quickly he provided pictures of a Grade 4.5 car. And after musing over it for a day or so I decided to go for it. It's nice that you don't have to give all of the money upfront and can stagger the payment in a few transactions. After this Marta made everything really easy in terms of any administration that was required in relation to the transaction. She made things very straightforward and was a pleasure to deal with. When the car arrived picking it up was very easy using their VRT registration service. The condition was beyond my expectations. It even came with a pile of service history and many panels and trim pieces still have the factory plastic protection on them which is insane for a 9 year old car. I feel I did a lot better for the money than you would do knocking around some garages. One downside was that I had requested a car with two keys and although the car did come with 2 keys one of them is just a remote fob for some other Toyota. I found this a little disappointing but would not necessarily remove a star for it. One of my family members is very focused on the year of a vehicle so I knew they would be more fussy than myself. This person remarked positively that the car was "in seriously excellent condition" and this was the biggest test this car could have gone through! I would use JDM Auction Watch again and am going to be looking for another vehicle again very soon. The pen and air freshener with the paperwork was a nice touch also.

Where do I start? I had the pleasure of dealing with Patrick from my first enquiry until the day I picked the car up. He was always to hand to answer any questions (and my god did I ask him questions) admittedly I was a pest, the excitement was just too much. I was quite specific in what I wanted in a car and he sourced it within a couple of days. An absolute gentleman and even let me pick up the car between Christmas & New Years. I can see why they are so successful in this game and I will be singing their praises to anyone who is looking to import a car.

I recently dealt with Patrick while importing a suzuki jimny, my experience could not have been better everything was made simple with no stress on my part i’m very happy with the purchase and would 100% deal with JDM again. Thanks again 😊
