If your first priority is getting a good price on your Japanese used car or used truck, buying it from the Japanese auto auctions is the right choice for you. Some of the starting bids are as low as 10,000 Yen! Japanese used car auctions is the right place for finding high quality Japanese used vehicles for low prices. At these auctions, you would often find high quality used cars such as Toyota Corolla, Landcruiser, Nissan Skyline or Honda accord in mint condition at very low prices.
We receive many queries from our customers if they could buy used cars and trucks directly from the Japanese used car auctions. I would try to clarify the facts related to buying cars from these auctions, in this post.
Japanese used car auctions are not like Ebay auctions where anybody can become a member and bid for the vehicles displayed on auction. Japanese used car auctions, which are managed by the major auction houses in Japan are not available to the general public. These Used Car Auctions in Japan allow only dealers who have used car dealer licenses authorized by the Government of Japan. Further, only auto dealers who pass the stringent quality check performed by an auction house to become a member of that auction. A company’s business history, property and bank statements are checked and the company is required to provide sureties and security funds.
We, as an authorized member of these auction houses, can act as your agent to bid on cars on your behalf, examine the vehicles for you and execute a fair and transparent trade at the car auction market. When you buy used Japanese cars from online auction houses, you would neither have the privilege to test drive the used car before you buy it, now you would get a chance to inspect the car closely. Hence, to know more about the condition or grade of the car, you would have to depend solely upon the ‘Auction-Sheet’, which is nothing, but a car evaluation sheet prepared by the auction house. Although all auction houses have different criteria for measuring the condition of the Japanese used cars, some parameters are the same. For instance, they allocate grades 2 to 5 or 6 to S for the condition of car exteriors, and grades A to C for the state of car interiors. Details about mileage and accident records if any are also noted in the auction sheet.
Before bidding for any used vehicle on the auctions, you have to make sure that you make your requirements clear to us, and communicate with us frequently and regularly. Once we receive your requirements, we will send you pictures and other relevant information about the car or truck you are interested in. You can also search through the auctions and we can supply you with the password for that. You can also request for an inspection to be done at the auction premises at an additional cost. Once you are ready for bidding, you just have to get in touch with us and let us place your bids at the used car auctions. When you win, we will then fax the necessary documents for registering and importing the car or truck. We can also arrange for the shipment of the vehicle to your country.
The majority of used car buyers do not even consider purchasing from a Japanese car auction, because they believe that the process is very difficult. However if you understand the correct process, you will find it is not that hard at all. We, however suggest that you check the rules and regulations of your country for importing the cars before you start bidding at these auctions.
