Mazda Bongo Low Line Roof 2,5 TDI Auto

“Got a fantastic condition, low mileage car. Promised and delivered. When I began the process I had an idea of what I wanted, but with Paul’s breadth of knowledge of Japanese cars he was able to steer me to the exact specification that would work for me, which was a 2.4L Alphard (2WD). Paul acts as an agent rather than vendor, and as such has no vested interest in selling you any particular car, but he does have an interest in selling you one that you’ll be happy with. I’ve now got a car that I am more than happy with, and as an added bonus, it was significantly cheaper than comparable models on sale in the UK. Furthermore, had I bought a used car in the UK myself, I would’ve had to rely on my own instinct as to the car’s condition. But buying through JapAutoAgent, I had the assurance of it being examined by a mechanic prior to bidding. So far from buying blind, I was actually much better informed than if I had bought a car from a UK dealer myself. Overall, Paul offers a great service, and it was a pleasure to do business with him.”

“I would certainly recommend Paul as your UK agent to buy and bring in your own Japanese imported car. Paul was incredibly helpful throughout the whole process (which I had never done before) and made the whole thing really easy. I would also recommend buying your car direct from Japan rather than pre-imported car (time permitting). I will certainly be using Paul again to buy another Jap import as these cars are quite astonishing in terms of cost, condition and spec compared to standard 2nd hand UK spec cars. I love my Lucida, and so does my wife (who drives it the most). Now I am looking forward to deciding what car I shall choose for myself, maybe a Pajero or a Landcruiser or maybe a Hilux Surf. Well, whatever I pick, I will be asking Paul to get it for me!Belfast Northern IrelandThank you very much Michael I will look forward to finding your next car.”

“If you are looking at importing a car from Japan, I cannot recommend Paul & Japautoagent enough. Paul is passionate about the quality of the cars that he brings over and the quality of service that he offers. The prospect of buying a car in this way was more than a little daunting at first. However, it is well worth the effort in the long term. I am confident that it would have been near impossible to find a Supra for sale in the UK with the low mileage and in the condition that my car is for the price that I paid. I know who I will turn to purchase for my next car!”

Mitsubishi Pajero Junior 1.1 Manual 4×4

“This Pajero Jnr. is the second vehicle we have purchased from Paul. It is in superb condition, and, worth every penny. We are now looking at changing our family car for a top of the range nissan via japautoagent. It is a much easier process than we ever imagined, and, where else could we get this quality of car at this money?”

“I would recommend using Paul at Japautoagent to buy and import your car direct from Japan. Paul was very helpful throughout with very good communication. I had never done anything like this before and was a concerned how it would all turn out, But in the end the process was really easy. I will not hesitate in using Paul again to buy another car from Japan as the car I have now is in excellent condition and where can you get a car of this quality for such a low price.”

“Thanks Paul and I’m sorry for being a pain in the bum. I wanted a red sports car for my wife’s 40th birthday, so I needed a red sports car, I needed it by a deadline and to make things worse Paul could not contact me as he normally would with a customer because I didn’t want my wife finding out what I was up to. In the end everything worked out brilliantly, I got the car in time with the conversions already done, I also had an alarm fitted and all the work done was first class and the car is spot on, it looks even better in real life. Thanks again Paul, I thought it would all be to complicated until I contacted you but you made it easy. I now have one very happy forty year old wife. Co. Durham”

“When I first saw this car on the website I honestly thought that it was too good to be true! However, after reading the ‘buying process’ page and speaking to Paul I had the confidence to go ahead with things. The result – a fantastic car that I’m absolutely delighted with, the engine looks and sounds brand new and the bodywork doesn’t even have a stone chip! There’s plenty of advantages when importing cars from Japan including the difference in price and quality when compared to UK vehicles – and this is backed up with a quality service you’ll receive from Paul that really is second to none.

“Whilst this is not the first vehicle I’ve bought from Japan it is the first one for which I have used ‘JapAutoAgent’ and Paul Bowden, and it was a very pleasant and worry free experience. From the beginning Paul clearly explained the process to me and cheerfully answered all my questions. Once we started looking for a vehicle I was provided with clear information about prospective purchases and their potential value at auction by Paul’s contact in Japan. Once we had secured a purchase every effort was made to ensure that it would arrive safely in the UK. On arrival in the UK Paul’s contacts here arranged seamless passage through the import process and subsequent preparation and registration of the vehicle for the UK roads. At all times Paul has been very generous with his time and made every effort to ensure that I secured the vehicle that met my needs. Thank you Paul and your various colleagues both in Japan and the UK.”
