Before you submit your enquiry 

Everything you need to know about what happens next, response times and how the process works. 


What happens after I submit the form?

We'll review the information you've provided to understand what's realistically possible within your budget. If we need to clarify anything, we'll contact you first. Otherwise, we'll prepare personalised import options, estimated all-in costs, and explain the next steps so you can make an informed decision.

Am I committing to importing a car?

No. Completing the enquiry form doesn't commit you to anything. It's simply the first step in understanding what's realistically available before making any decisions.

Who will contact me?

Your enquiry is reviewed by JDM Direct Ireland. Depending on your enquiry, we may respond directly or introduce you to one of our trusted Japanese import specialists who can assist with sourcing, purchasing and importing your vehicle.

What information will I receive?

Where possible, we'll provide realistic vehicle options that match your requirements, estimated all-in import costs, expected delivery times and guidance on the next steps. Every enquiry is different, so the information you receive will depend on your requirements.

What if my budget isn't realistic?

We'll tell you. If your budget doesn't match your expectations, we'll explain why and suggest realistic alternatives where possible. Our aim is to help you make an informed decision, not to convince you to buy.

How long does it take to receive a reply?

Every enquiry is reviewed personally, so response times vary depending on complexity and current demand. We'll get back to you as soon as we've had an opportunity to review your requirements.

I don't know exactly which car I want yet. Can I still submit the form?

Absolutely. Many buyers know their budget but haven't decided on a specific model. Tell us how you'll use the car and what matters most to you, and we'll point you towards suitable options.

Why do you ask so many questions?

Every answer helps us narrow down the right vehicles and avoid recommending cars that don't suit your budget or requirements. The more we understand your needs, the more useful our guidance will be.
