Well, it won't really make sense for you if you are buying generic models like Toyota Prius, Honda Fit et cetera. You're going to find more than enough of these in the Japanese car auctions, and you will find that they are at much better prices.
However, what if you are looking for very specific and quite unusual or rare models? This could mean exotics, such as limited edition Ferraris, Porsches, McLarens et cetera. But, it could also mean limited edition, low-volume, or historic Japanese cars as well.
In that case, you really want to spread your net as far as possible -- and that includes checking out vehicles that are at dealerships.
Now, you're probably wondering where you can find these cars without knowing Japanese. We do not have them in our online system together with the cars at auction in Japan. However, you are in luck, as one of the major websites that Japanese car dealers use to post details of their cars has an English-language interface.
This website is called Goo net Exchange, and you can find it at http://www.goo-net-exchange.com/.
Once you have found a car that you are interested in, send us the URL of the listing on this page and we will make contact with the dealer to start the process of buying the vehicle for you.
We can also find out extra information, or get additional photos for you. For example, you may want more information about the service history, or you may require photos of particular parts of the car which are prone to rusting in that particular model. We will be happy to help you get the information that you need so that you can make a good purchasing decision.
Remember that we can negotiate with these car dealers. If the car you are interested in is listed at a price which is above your budget, but not too far out of reach, let us try to negotiate the seller down to a level that you would be prepared to buy it at.
Our fees are the same whether you buy the car at auction, or through a car dealer. We can tell you what the final FOB price will be before you finalize your decision so that you know exactly what the car will cost you.
Wherever we source the car for you, we will give you the same top-class professional service so that the process is smooth and stress-free for you.
We find that the most successful importers really understand how it all works - from the auction to the ship and beyond. Don't get left behind!
