When the Chen family in Melbourne's eastern suburbs needed a premium people mover for school runs, weekend adventures, and executive transfers, they knew the local market couldn't match what Japan offers. After researching Japanese import cars in Melbourne, they discovered CA Import — and the rest is history.
"We wanted a Toyota Alphard with the Executive Lounge package, but nothing locally came close to the spec and value we found through CA Import," says Mr. Chen. "The team sourced a low-kilometre 2022 Alphard Hybrid directly from auction in Japan, handled all shipping, customs, and compliance, and delivered it to our door in Blackburn within eight weeks."
The Chens aren't alone. This year, demand for premium JDM cars in Australia has surged, with the Toyota Alphard, Vellfire, Nissan Skyline, and Lexus RX leading the charge. Industry data confirms that direct Japanese imports offer significant savings — often $15,000 to $30,000 less than equivalent local pricing — while delivering higher specifications and genuine low-mileage condition.
At CA Import, we've helped hundreds of Melbourne families, enthusiasts, and businesses source their ideal vehicle from Japan. Whether it's a luxury Vellfire, a performance icon like the Nissan Skyline GT-R, or a refined Lexus SUV, our licensed team (LMCT 13101) manages every step from auction bidding to full Australian compliance and registration.
