Car Importers Club - A New Initiative

John Porteous  | Published on 12/17/2017

Having decided to retire early in 2018, I have decided to establish the online “Car Importers Club” to share my vast experience over many years, of importing motor vehicles from Japan to New Zealand. To suplement the income I receive from our government pension, I will take a fee for those wanting to take the plunge, and import their own car. Apart from this fee, and a portion of the agents fees in Japan, Car Importers Club members pay the fees as invoiced from the Japanese car export company; there is no surcharge added.

This is a win, win for club members. In addition to the obvious price advantage, I am happy to share my vast experience and knowledge with club members, to give them the best chance of avoiding pitfalls and achieving a successful outcome.

It's not all beer and skittles. There are risks in this type of business that can impact negatively on the process, despite every effort to eliminate problematic factors. That said, there are thousands of importers who have made a handsome living trading in Japanese used motor vehicles. Every single one of these importers will have lost money on vehicles from time to time, that is par for the course. There is an upside, however, and that is the vast majority of cars that successful vehicle traders have imported have paid them good dividends, allowing them to run profitable enterprises.

It would be unfortunate for first time importers to have a bad experience on their first try. We at Car Importers Club are here to help members with the process, in the hope of a successful outcome first time up. Should the worst happen first time round, it will be a test of fortitude for the club member concerned to try again. We would encourage a second try, because it would be most unusual to have a bad experience twice in a row. Fortune favours the brave, most importing experiences will be both enjoyable and profitable. Our objective at Car Importers Club help members import their 'dream car', in the first instance, followed up by others once they get used to the process, and understand the real advantages open to them by importing their own motor cars.

If you find the idea of importing your own vehicle exciting, join the Car Importers Club today and get started finding that car you've always wanted. Let us help you realise your dream. The day your new car arrives on the ship from Japan will be an exciting one for sure. Join now if you're up for it, I'd be delighted to help you.
