Can I import 25-year old cars into California?
Unfortunately regulations in California are the strictest. In order to register car in California you will have to bring a car to compliance with some safety and environment requirements. As far as we know it is possible, but we do not have idea how much would it cost and what exactly must be made. If you are ready to go through all these modifications to be made you can order the car from us.

Do you offer financing for your JDM vehicles?
Yes we offer financing on our vehicles, however, it is not the easiest loan to qualify for since it is specialty. Credit score must be 650 or higher. Buyer must also not be a first-time buyer (Must have previous auto loan history on their credit). Additionally, our lenders typically require 10-15% downpayment for approval. A typical loan is 60 months, as low as 5.99% rate.

Yes you can legally drive RHD vehicles in all 50 States.

Our facility parking lots can fit over 100 cars and we can take care of your car while it is waiting to be shipped. We have both free and premium storage facilities. First year of storage is always free.

Can I purchase a Nissan Skyline R33? Nissan Skyline R34?
No. Unfortunately, it is not possible at the moment. Nissan Skyline R33 will become legal for import to the US in 2020. We do not ship cars to USA that are likely to be seized and crashed. There are very few exceptions to this rule, the vehicle must be of special / technological significance, or super limited production models - This Does not mean a typical average R34 Skyline.
