Japan Car Auction New Year 2017 / 2018 Schedule

As you know, we are approaching the end of the year, which means that things will start winding down soon. So, without further ado, here are the details of the Japanese car auction schedule for the end of 2017 and start of 2018:

The rest of this week the auctions will be running as usual, right the way through the end of Saturday.

December 25 -- all auctions running as usual.
December 26 -- 60 percent of the auctions running, 40 percent closed.
December 27 -- 50 percent of the auctions running, 50 percent closed.
December 28 -- 80 percent of the auctions are closed but major auction USS Tokyo is running.
December 29 to January 4 -- all auctions closed, and many of our suppliers closed (including shipping companies). We will not be available via email, Skype, or phone at this time.
January 5 -- 1 auction running, all the other auctions closed.
January 6 -- 60 percent of the auctions closed, but major auction HAA Kobe is running.

From January 8, 2018 all the auctions will be running as normal.

We find that we sometimes pick up some great deals for customers at this time of year when other people are taking a break, or importers overseas are too caught up with Christmas and New Year celebrations to pay attention. It's always worth keeping your eye on what is coming up in the auctions --  you never know what you may find!

It has been great serving you in 2017. We are looking forward to serving you in 2018 as well.
