See everything we see.

Four tools you get when you buy through Carimport, the same ones our advisors use every day.

Import calculator that breaks down every ringgit

Pick a car and get the full landed cost, with every duty and fee itemised.

Order tracking that keeps everything in one place

Payments, shipping documents and approvals sit in one timeline, and WhatsApp keeps you posted as your car moves.

Auction reports for any chassis number

Dealer-only listings refreshed every day

The full process runs in six steps that find your car, lock one itemised price, and deliver it registered to your door.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to the questions we hear most from first-time importers: timelines, fees, financing and what happens if something isn't right.

Most imports arrive within 8 to 12 weeks of winning the auction. That covers shipping from Japan, customs clearance and AP approval, Puspakom inspection and Malaysian registration. Your advisor keeps you updated at every milestone.

Every car is bought against its official auction sheet, which we verify and translate for you before bidding. If a defect turns up that the sheet did not disclose, we file the claim with the auction house on your behalf.

Your quotation itemises every cost: bidding, shipping, marine insurance, import duty, customs clearance, the AP permit, inspection and JPJ registration, with our import service fee listed alongside them. The fee is a percentage of the landed cost, and the exact percentage and ringgit figure are stated in your quotation. The calculator works from the same breakdown, so the figure you approve is the figure you pay.

Yes, for up to 90% of the car depending on the model and your profile. Your advisor collects the documents from you and handles the submission to the bank.

Every car comes with its verified auction grade and condition report. Extended warranty packages covering engine and transmission are available at handover as a separate contract. Ask your advisor for the current terms.
