How to Purchase a Japanese Used Car from the Japan Auto Auctions

Up to 100,000 vehicles are auctioned in Japan every week. The Japanese Car Auctions have something for everyone! We can help you get the right car for you.

Pay Pal or Telegraphic Transfer your deposit and we are ready to bid direct with the auction houses. The deposit is deducted from the final invoice once a successful bid has been place and the car won.

This deposit is refundable for any reason prior to purchasing from the Japanese car auctions. (please refer to our Terms and Conditions).

Every vehicle going through the Japanese car auctions is provided a detailed report prepared by the professional inspectors at the auctions. We translate the auction sheet for you so you know every detail about the vehicle.

We also inspect the cars from all the main Japanese car auctions in Tokyo for no extra charge and provide a quality video. Some of these inspections can be watched on our You Tube Channel - click below to watch and subscribe to our channel:

Once we purchase the vehicle from auction, your final payment via Telegraphic Transfer is required and then the car is shipped on the very next available ship!

Shipping

We deal directly with the shipping agent here in Japan, which keeps the shipping costs down. Check out our Shipping Estimates page for an estimate to your country. As shipping prices fluctuate like exchange rates and are based on the total cubic dimensions of the vehicle, a formal shipping quote will be provided prior to vehicle purchase.

Some countries require an inspection such as JEVIC, EAA, JAAI or Intertek. If you require these inspections to be done in Japan, it is generally from about USD330.

Vehicle Condition

All of our Japanese used cars are purchased direct from auctions here in Japan. We use information contained in the Auction Sheet as a guide to the condition of the vehicle. Each auction sheet is an independent assessment of the condition of the car and lists details from accident history to cigarette burns; from a barely visible dent to structural damage. They are a thorough assessment of the car.

While the auction sheet is a great tool to indicate the condition of the vehicle a personal inspection by a qualified Engineer prior to vehicle purchase can be arrange at most auctions. This ensures quality and gives our clients peace of mind.
