Limelight Autosale: vehicles sourced to order from Japan, in St Elizabeth
Published · Automotive
Limelight Autosale LLC sells vehicles out of Crawford, St Elizabeth, but a good part of its business starts in Japan. The company buys, sells and trades, and it imports to order: you name the exact vehicle you want, and Limelight goes and finds it. Its own summary is four short sentences: "We buy. We sell. We trade. We import." It sells to buyers across the island, not only in the parish.

How importing to order works
The import service is what separates Limelight from a lot full of whatever happened to arrive. Its import page lays the process out in five steps:
- Tell us the vehicle. Year, model, grade and a mileage limit. In Limelight's words, "The more you tell us, the closer we get first time."
- We source and confirm it. They find a unit and send you what they found before anything is committed.
- You approve it. Nothing moves until you have seen it and said yes.
- It ships. They arrange the shipping and keep you posted while the vehicle is on the water.
- Fitness and documents ready. They take care of the paperwork, then hand the vehicle over.
The same page says Limelight handles the shipping, duty and documents, and that a phone number is enough to get started. The site does not list fees or landed prices, and every vehicle is priced on request, so the cost is something you work out with them for the specific unit.
The approval step is the one to notice. You see the actual vehicle they have found before you are committed to it, which is a different experience from buying off a photo of a similar car.
Why they ask for the grade
Limelight asks for the grade by name, and its own listings show why. The Toyota Crown it brought in was an Athlete S Package. The Mark X was a 250 S Package. The Land Cruiser Prado was a TXL Special Edition, listed with four-wheel drive, seven seats, a cream interior, a sunroof and push start. The two Voxys on the page are different again: one a 2016 ZS with a double sunroof, the other a 2018 with a Modellista body kit.
Two vehicles with the same model name can be set up quite differently once you get down to the grade and options. If you already know the version you want, say so up front. If you only know the model, tell them what matters to you (seats, sunroof, four-wheel drive, mileage) and let them narrow it down.
What has come through recently
Limelight's inventory page describes itself as "what's here, what's on the water, and what has moved." When we looked in November 2026 it listed six vehicles, all imported from Japan:
- 2018 Toyota Voxy with a Modellista body kit. Coming soon.
- 2016 Toyota Voxy ZS with a double sunroof. Coming soon.
- 2006 Isuzu Elf 3-ton dump truck, high deck. A source order that was preparing to ship.
- 2015 Toyota Crown Athlete S Package, white, non-hybrid. Sold.
- 2019 Toyota Mark X 250 S Package, white, 31,000 km. Sold.
- 2023 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado TXL Special Edition, 4WD, seven seats. Sold.
The dump truck is a useful detail. Source-to-order covers working vehicles as well as family vans and sedans. Sold listings stay on the site with a note that Limelight can source another one, so they double as examples of what the company has actually brought in and handed over. Stock moves, so check Limelight's current inventory for what is available now.
Selling or trading in
Limelight also buys. Its sell page asks for the year, model, grade and mileage of your vehicle and a way to reach you. They look at the details and come back with what the vehicle is worth to them, and the page promises to tell you straight. Then you decide: sell it outright, or put it toward one of theirs. The page adds, "No pressure either way."
Who Limelight suits
- Buyers in Jamaica who want a particular Japanese model and grade and would rather have a dealer find it than search on their own.
- People who want to see and approve the exact unit before shipping is arranged.
- Owners with a car to sell or trade who want a plain offer.
- Businesses that need a commercial vehicle, such as a light dump truck, sourced from Japan.
If you already know what you are after, the import request on Limelight's site is the place to start. Give them the year, model and grade, and a mileage limit if you have one.
