Australian Market Pricing & Potential Savings
Importing an Elgrand from Japan can be an attractive alternative to buying a comparable people mover already in Australia, particularly when you want a specific chassis, drivetrain and factory grade.
Potential savings depend on the vehicle’s specification, kilometres, condition and current market prices. Individual results vary. Prestige Car Imports can compare current Japanese and Australian examples for the specification you want.
