A HERALD HOLDINGS COMPANY
The cars America never got.
Elevate Auto Imports sources and sells performance vehicles to exact spec — verified title, inspected condition, matched to what you actually want. Nothing gets purchased until a deal is committed.
Tell us what you're looking forExact model, year range, mileage ceiling, condition, and budget — the more specific, the better we can find it.
VIN history, title status, and a pre-purchase inspection before anything is presented to you as a match.
A deposit locks in sourcing. From there: clean title, full paperwork, and delivery handled start to finish.
Two ways to work together. Prices are on this page. The car itself is never marked up — you see the real purchase price, separate from our fee.
Send the car, year range, must-haves, budget to your driveway, and when you need it. You get a straight read: already in the US vs import from Japan, whether that budget works, and go or no-go.
If you hire us to hunt it, the $250 comes off the hunt fee.
We find the car, verify it, and run the process through delivery. A deposit locks the hunt before we bid or travel. The car, shipping, duty, and inspection pass through at cost. We never hold the purchase money — you pay the seller or the exporter.
| Lane | What it is | Typical fee |
|---|---|---|
| Already in the US | Titled car we can see and inspect. Usually weeks. | $1,500–$3,000 |
| Import from Japan | 25-year rule cars. Auction sheet, exporter, ship, customs. Often a few months. | $3,500–$7,500 |
Exact fee is a flat number set before you commit. No percentage on the car. No markup baked into the vehicle price.
The hunt fee covers sourcing, VIN history and title path, inspection coordination, and paperwork through delivery. Everything else is pass-through, at cost — shown line by line before a deposit.
Give us the exact spec — model, condition, budget — and we'll go find it.
