Buying High-Value & Exotic Cars From Japan

Japan’s car auctions are about more than Priuses, Honda CR-Vs and Volkswagen Golfs. You will also find a good selection of Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Porsche, as well as the occasional rare ultra-exotics, such as Porsche 959, McLaren 12C and others. If you are after something more specific, there’s also the dealer network where we can source all kinds of exotic and rare cars for you.

The biggest issue when you’re buying very high-end cars from Japan is to have a partner that is 100% trustworthy with the professional skills and knowhow to get the job done properly.

You will find that most companies that export cars from Japan's car auctions specialize in the lower end Japanese makes. On the other hand, Integrity Exports is unusual in that we have actual experience of exporting the following marques:

Bentley, Ferrari, Porsche, Mercedes, McLaren, Rolls Royce, Jaguar

Now, you will find that a small number of exotic car dealers in Japan can also arrange export for you. However, what you may not know is that if you approach them directly, you are likely to be quoted as special “export price” which is quite a bit more than if we negotiate the sale within Japan and then arrange the export ourselves.

We use specialist transportation to move the car from the auction or dealer to the secure indoor storage location it will be kept in until it is ready for export. The transportation provider we use specializes in transporting very high-end vehicles, including classics and race cars in special enclosed trucks.

While the car is being processed for export, it will be kept securely in an indoor location. Of course, it will be insured for the whole period it is being transported and stored in Japan.

For cars worth over 10 million JPY, we arrange container shipping of a single car in a 20 foot container. The car will be loaded by people who specialize in high-value vehicles.

If the car is very high value (20 million JPY and above), then we will arrange air freight for you. The car will be flown out of Narita in the Tokyo area to the destination of your choice. Once again, the company the handles the preparation of the car for air freight specializes in these types of vehicles and so is very experienced in working with them.

You should ensure that you obtain insurance for the time your car is in transit, either on the ship or by plane, as we do not provide coverage for this.
