Motohound.co.nz gives you access to the best quality Japanese imported vehicles 24/7

Motohound vehicles are supplied by New Zealand’s largest importer of Japanese used vehicles, AutoTerminal New Zealand.

AutoTerminal New Zealand (ATNZ) is New Zealand owned and operated and has been supplying vehicles to the New Zealand market for over 10 years.

The philosophy of ATNZ is to supply the highest quality Japanese used cars exceeding NZTA (New Zealand Transport Agency) criteria through its “e2e Process”.










What is e2e (end 2 end)? It is the complete quality statement that ensures you can purchase a Motohound vehicle with total confidence.

e2e starts in Japan where the vehicles are purchased by IBC Japan, an internationally renowned purchasing organisation buying from the best auctions throughout Japan.

Once the vehicles have been purchased they are then handed to AutoTerminal Japan for preparation for shipping to New Zealand.

This includes

1. Stolen vehicle check
2. Odometer (Speedo) certification
3. MAF inspections
4. Structural inspection
5. Cleaning & photographing


The vehicles are then sent to New Zealand on specialised car carrying vessels.  

On arrival into New Zealand, the cars are MAF inspected again before being transported to ATNZ’s 6500sqm workshop facility.

Once delivered to the workshop, the cars are handed over to VSS (Vehicle Safety Systems) and VTNZ (Vehicle Testing New Zealand) who independently inspect the vehicles to NZTA standards and requirements where in the case of ATNZ those standards are exceeded.

When a vehicle is signed off, VTNZ place a WOF (Warrant of Fitness) sticker on the windscreen and ATNZ then and only then, prepare the car for sale.

This includes attending to any further mechanical issues, panel and paint if required and finally a full groom inside and out, making this the best quality control process for used Japanese imported cars.



Motohound.co.nz is a fully web based service that connects you the customer with the right car and the right dealer.

Being a 24/7 service, Motohound.co.nz can be contacted via email, MSN or Skype with trained staff able to answer your initial questions.

Once you have placed an enquiry the Sales team swings into action and forwards your enquiry to appropriate certified dealer.

The RMVD (Registered Motor Vehicle Dealer) will then make contact to arrange a time convenient for you to view the vehicle and take it for a test drive.

Motohound.co.nz takes the hassle out of haggling by giving a price indication for the vehicle on website, ensuring you are in control of the process.  

Go online, check out over 3000 quality cars throughout New Zealand.  If you’re looking to upgrade the family car, need a second car for home, a vehicle for business, or one for your son or daughter, Motohound.co.nz gives you “better buying at wholesale prices”.
