Default Buying a car from the USA

Buying a Car from the U.S.A.

As many of you are aware, I regularly travel to the USA for business.
It seems each time I visit I always have requests by current customers to go and check out a car or product they are looking at buying and importing back to Australia.
Since I have had such a high demand in requests I would like to extend an offer of this service to you as well. My next trip to the USA will be in August. For anyone contemplating a car purchase who feels they could use an honest opinion from a genuine car enthusiast who works on cars professionally please feel free to contact me.

I have been in the automotive industry for 17 years and although my field of expertise relates to the interior, having been in the industry this long I also have gained knowledge and experience in all areas of a vehicle - body, paint & mechanical.
I am the owner of the company Global Trim which specialises in reproduction materials and interior products primarily for Australian Ford vehicles

Online photos can hide many of the defects that you will not discover until your car arrives in Australia.
Even little things like looking at the dipstick to see the condition of the oil or removing the oil filler cap can tell you a lot about an engine.
If you have found something in a magazine or online and are in negotiations with the seller already, feel free to email me the details and I can make arrangements to view the proposed purchase. I will give you a full inspection report; take pictures that are NOT retouched and also organize to have the car professionally inspected by a mechanic shop which would be the equivalent of our RACV/NRMA/RACQ etc.
You can have a car checked out independently since you can’t be there in person and you can feel confident that you have made a purchase and ENSURED that it is 100% legitimate.

If you are interested in this service, please contact me so we can discuss details on your potential purchase including location, contact details, all information the seller has provided and what you may want specifically checked out. I'll let you know my itinerary and explain in further detail what I can do.

Yes, so long as my costs are covered, as I'll already be there it won't cost the customer too much.
Yes I can also help with shipping and customs too.

Are you still in the USA. If so I would really like a couple of parts brought back.

Cheers
