Get Started

Gentlemen, start your engines!

Finding a stunning Japanese sports car or RV, at an equally stunning price, is easy with Savage Sushi. But before you roll up your sleeves and reach for the grease cloth, it's worth understanding the way the site works - and the steps of the process.

Step 1: Have a look around.

The first thing to do is to sign up for a Preview Power. This is a free month of access to the site - so you can see all the cars that have been auctioned the previous day. You can't bid, of course, but it's a great way to see how Savage Sushi works, search for the models you're interested in, and get a feel for prices and car conditions.

Step 2: Go for it!

Ready to bid? Then let's get moving! Simply pay your Auction Power fee of $165 per month to get instant access to live auctions, and the support of the friendly, experienced Savage Sushi team. Want to Bid? Simply grab a Purchase Power add-on from your main account page, set your maximum bid, and we'll do the rest - bidding for you up to your threshold, trying to get you the lowest possible price. Not to forget our inspectors are trained professionals, we will check all over & under the car before purchasing it.

Step 3: Bring it on over.

Congratulations! You've snared it. Now you just have to get it here, and get it roadworthy. But don't worry, Savage Sushi will look after everything. Firstly, we inspect and take photos of your car in our holding yard, sending you the photos along with our report. Then we put it on the next ship (they go just about weekly) for the 2-week voyage to Australia.

Once it arrives, it takes about 4 days to clear customs before being taken to the compliance centre to get it complying to Australian standards. Give this about 12 days. Then you'll get your blue slip or roadworthy certificate state depending (like a pink slip for complied cars), and have the car registered in your name.

Step 4: Drive it away!

Take the keys, and drive that baby home. She's yours.
