Australian vehicle imports into the USA
Welcome to AusParts International – your connection to owning an authentic piece of Australian automotive excellence in the USA. We’re thrilled to introduce our new suite of services designed specifically for car enthusiasts who demand a unique, one of a kind Aussie performance car. Whether you're looking to import a classic Holden, a modern ute, or you’re ready to build your dream car with a bespoke conversion, we have you covered.
Importing Australian Vehicles into the USA
At AusParts International, we specialize in importing Australian vehicles—particularly iconic Holden models such as utes and wagons (including select models of Holden VZ, VE, and VF Commodores)—into the United States. Despite the common 25-year rule that restricts imports, our expertise and unique legal channels allow us to bring these unique vehicles to you completely legally and with full compliance. While the exact details of our process remain our well-guarded secret, you can rest assured that everything we do is legitimate and above board.
But that's not all—we also import vehicles that are over 25 years old. This means we can deliver classic Holdens like VK Commodores, Toranas, Sandmans, Monaros, EHs, HQs and more. And our service isn’t limited to just classic Holdens. We also bring you classic Fords and Japanese performance cars, including JDM legends such as the R32 GTR, S13, S14 & S15 Silvias and other iconic models. Australia is home to numerous factory-delivered Japanese performance cars, and in many cases, it’s even more cost-effective to import these vehicles from Australia than directly from Japan.
Whether you're after a modern Holden or a timeless classic, AusParts International is your trusted gateway to owning a piece of automotive excellence from Down Under.
Comprehensive Vehicle Inspections & Transparency
Being based in Australia gives us a distinct advantage: we can personally inspect vehicles that you find listed online before they are purchased. Our process includes:
- Detailed Inspections: Our experienced team thoroughly evaluates each vehicle on-site.
- High-Quality Photos & Videos: We provide extensive visual documentation so you can see exactly what you're buying.
- Professional Advice: Our knowledgeable team of like-minded car enthusiasts offers expert recommendations to help you make an informed decision.
Our rigorous inspection process ensures you receive a high-quality vehicle with full transparency every step of the way. Plus, we offer this service for a fee—our set travel and inspection rate is just $144 AUD per hour. This means you have the freedom to use our inspection service without any obligation to import through us. If you decide to import with a different company afterward, that's completely fine. We believe in assisting our customers with complete transparency and flexibility.
Secure Transactions & Scam Prevention
Your trust is our top priority. At AusParts International, our established reputation as a legitimate and trusted business means you can confidently purchase vehicles through us, knowing that your investment is protected at every stage. Here’s how we safeguard your transactions:
Cash Payments to Private Sellers:
Instead of wiring money directly to foreign private sellers, we handle payments in person. This approach drastically reduces the risk of scams and ensures that your funds are secure.
Refund Assurance:
If we suspect any discrepancies or questionable practices from a seller, we immediately return your money—potentially saving you thousands of dollars.
Trusted Processes:
Our longstanding relationships and local presence in Australia ensure that every transaction is managed safely and securely.
Flexible Import Options:
Purchase your vehicle safely through us, and then choose how you’d like to proceed with the import process. We can either facilitate the entire import process for you or transport the vehicle to your preferred importer. This additional service comes at a fee, which will be quoted based on your specific requirements.
By choosing AusParts International, you’re not only ensuring a secure purchase but also gaining access to a range of services designed to streamline your vehicle import experience.
Auction Bidding & Private Sales
In addition to direct purchases, we also actively bid on and purchase vehicles from Australian auctions. This means you have access to a wider range of exclusive models and rare finds that may not be available through traditional channels. Our deep market knowledge and negotiation expertise ensure you get the best possible value.
