SALES WITHIN JAPAN

We are receiving many inquiries from foreign residents in Japan about the possibility of buying a car directly through our auction system. According to Japanese local regulation, all local sales are required to pay 10% consumption tax from the total price and recycle fee [ indicated on the auction report]. You will be required to provide the exact delivery address and person in charge contact numbers. Please kindly contact for clarification and detailed price structure.

We provide country-wide transportation and bidding services from all auto auctions in Japan. The auctions houses have been classified into 7 groups by regions and days of the week. Depending on the destination county, we will choose the closest delivery port. Regions such as Hokkaido, Tohoku, Chugoku, Shikoku and Kyushu have extra inland delivery fees due to their remote location. The major loading ports are Yokohama, Kawasaki, Kobe, Osaka and Nagoya.
