Cheap Japanese used cars are not always good

Many times our potential customers complain that our prices are little higher compared to those of some other Japanese used car exporters.  Then I tell them why those used cars are so cheap.

There are many used vehicle vendors who specialize in cheap cars.  How do they keep their prices so low?  Their secret lies in the fact that they buy only damaged cars or very low grade cars, for prices as low as 10,000 yen or sometimes even free.  Then they replace the damaged parts by cheap used parts and make cosmetic changes so that the car looks like any other car.  However, the reliability of such refurbished cars is very low.  So you’ll get what you pay for.

We, on the other hand, buy our vehicles from our network of reliable used vehicle dealers and  auto auctions.  We only buy vehicles having good auction grades and history.  Our in-house mechanics test drive these vehicles to make sure that there are no other problems which are not mentioned in the auction grade reports.  That’s why the vehicles we supply are of very high quality.  And that’s the reason we have many repeat customers.  In fact our margins are one of the lowest.  We just want to make sure that our customers are happy and they get the quality what they pay for.
