Buyer questions

Japan used car export FAQ

These answers explain the buying and export basis before you choose a vehicle. Destination import rules vary, so buyers should confirm local eligibility before purchase commitment.

Which countries and regions can you export to?

We handle inquiries from Asia, Oceania, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, the Americas, and other countries or regions. Export availability depends on destination port access, vessel schedules, local import rules, and the vehicle itself.

Are Japanese used cars right-hand drive?

Most Japanese domestic vehicles are right-hand drive. Buyers should confirm that right-hand drive registration is allowed in their destination country or region before purchase.

Can you export left-hand drive vehicles?

Left-hand drive vehicles are uncommon in Japanese domestic stock. If you specifically need left-hand drive, tell us before the search begins so we can check whether suitable inventory exists.

Do destination countries have year or mileage restrictions?

Many destinations have vehicle age, mileage, emissions, inspection, or steering-side rules. The buyer is responsible for confirming local import eligibility before purchase commitment.

Do you provide the auction inspection sheet?

Yes. Vehicles sourced through Japanese auction houses come with an independent auction inspection sheet. Ask for it on any vehicle you are considering before you decide.

Is payment safe?

Payment instructions are provided only for a specific invoice through our official WhatsApp or [email protected] email thread. Do not send money to account details that were not confirmed through those official channels.

When do I pay?

Payment timing depends on whether the vehicle is current stock or an auction purchase. We confirm deposit, balance, and document release timing before purchase commitment.

How long does shipping take?

Shipping time depends on the destination port, vessel schedule, transshipment route, and port handling. We quote and discuss timing per inquiry rather than publish a fixed schedule.

Can I cancel after committing to a vehicle?

Cancellation terms depend on the purchase stage. Auction bids and confirmed purchases may create costs that cannot be reversed. We explain the commitment point before bidding or purchase.

What documents are provided for export?

For export vehicles, we prepare Japanese deregistration and export certificate documents. Destination customs, tax, inspection, registration, and local compliance documents are handled by the buyer or destination agent under local rules.
