SOUTHERN SPECIAL VEHICLES » IMPORT DIRECT

Many other businesses/ brokers advertise a "Import direct" service and claim clients can save thousands of dollars. While there may be some savings, consider the RISK customers face when dealing with most of them.

COMPARE THE CREDENTIALS of SSV with any broker/ buying service you may be considering using:

• SSV is a Licensed Motor Car Trader, thus providing customers with the full protection of government fair trading laws, including ownership protection. Using unlicensed dealers and brokers who are operating illegally, is both very risky and illogical.
• We have full insurance cover. You will find most others have NONE, and will accept no responsibility if your car is stolen or damaged. Ask for a copy of their policy if they claim they have insurance, because you wont be able to insure it yourself until it is registered in Australia.
• Our long term commitment to Japanese imports is reflected by the fact that our family business currently has Australian Government approval to comply a LARGER range of vehicles than most other importers.
• We PERSONALLY comply all of our imports - most brokers usually rely on licensed dealers like us to comply their cars, thus increasing your cost.
• As an industry leader, SSV is a member of the exclusive RAWS Association of Importers.
• SSV has a well-established spare parts network and we provide our customers with full after sales service.

IMPORT DIRECT…. OUR WAY IN 5 EASY STEPS.
1. CONTACT US
SSV would welcome the opportunity to discuss "Import Direct" with anyone considering this option. Compare our credentials with any "Import Direct" service you are contemplating.

*** We actually hold stock of around 35 vehicles, with anywhere between 25-30 cars in transit from Japan, so it may be that we already have the vehicle you are after. Our large range of stock also allows customers to actually see, drive and compare first hand various makes and models they may be considering…. and to check out the superior quality vehicles that we import!!!!

2. THE SEARCH BEGINS
One of our helpful staff will provide you with a VEHICLE REQUEST/ CONFIRMATION FORM, to detail the vehicle you are seeking, and the price you wish to pay. You MUST have your finances arranged and pay your confirmation deposit of $1000. This fee is fully refundable only if we cannot match your request within 2 months.

3. INSPECT and PURCHASE
One of our skilled and trusted buying agents in Japan will locate and inspect a vehicle, and, if deemed suitable, we will give you appropriate feedback before any purchase is contemplated. If a purchase is made, 70% of the agreed price is to be paid within 72 hours. We guarantee that the quality of your vehicle will be comparable to the high quality vehicles that you can inspect on our car yard.

4. FREIGHT and COMPLIANCE
Shipping, custom duties, GST quarantine and transport to our workshop will be arranged by SSV. We will personally comply (not out source to others!!) your vehicle to the relevant Australian Standards.

5. DRIVE AWAY
The balance is now payable. A 12-month comprehensive warranty is included…. longer warranties up to 5 years are available at extra cost. SSV can also assist and advise on matters such as RWC, registration, immobilisers, alarms and insurance.

*** We believe that our credentials and straightforward procedures will place us at the forefront of any IMPORT DIRECT purchase scheme and look forward to speaking with you further.
