The starting point is just send me a e-mail. You do not need to mention your name, Any questions, I am happy to reply about auction and car. Then, please tell me, what auction cars you are looking for or interested in. Please make sure that you are able to import the car which you are going to buy.

Car auction price is ,of course, vary based on the car condition, color, AT or manual, seasons.

I will give you the idea, how much you are going to pay for your car.
Shipping schedule, depend on where you live , it will take 1 to 5 weeks from Japan, before your car will arrive to your port. If you would like to pay freight as well, I will tell you freight cost as well. Generally fright is calculated by the size of cars, so if the car is bigger so as more fright cost. Also, if you require any Japanese car parts and car accessories, I am able to arrange car parts on your request. In the first stage, any questions are welcome and question is free to ask.
2. Please send auction deposit.
Once you have decided your target car,please send a telegraphic transfer (TT) 100,000yen per car as a deposit to start your auction buying process.

So please pay this correctly so that your cost and time will be minimized. Unfortunately, if I am not able to locate your car from auctions in Japan, I will refund your deposit to your local bank( your auction deposit amount minus bank charge).

4. Car pricing
How to make auction price decision? If you are not car dealer, please check a local market price for your target car then, calculate and convert to Japanese yen, and consider your bidding price very well. You need to buy auction car in Japan cheaper than local price of course. We will provide you general auction car price ( how much your target car has been sold for ) in advance, for your auction price decision. We understand you would like to buy cars cheap as possible as you can. However, We deal with only serious auction bids, if the price submitted is obviously not make it, we will not process.
*We reserve the right to refuse your auction bids.
if auction bid price is strong, there is more chance for you will buy your target-car. Often we are able to purchase cars under customers bidding price. This means you do not need to pay your bid price, you pay for the car win, only the price sold for and we call this as auction car cost.
For example, if your auction bid was 600,000yen and we paid at 460,000yen, then you pay 460,000yen plus our Auction-service fee which is 60,000yen only ( Not include freight). Total 520,000yen which is all cost in Japan
We always attach Invoice from auction so that we are able to proof you the amount we paid for your car at auction. If you could purchase a car at auctions in Japan, the CAR COST in the invoice will be the same as your sold price at the auction. Please send us auction deposit of 100,000yen per car. I will send a e mail to confirm your final bidding, please send it back to us with your confirmation so that I can process your auction order.
5.Car auction
Once car biding price is determined, I will try to bid your car at your desired price. Please allowed me 10,000yen flexibility, so that you will not lose your big chance. For example, your price is 400,00yen, and I might pay 410,000 in a competition. If you do not like this please tell me in advance.
6.Invoicing
When successfully we win a car, we will make auction invoice and send fax or e-mail to you. We ask you the amount of purchase price and our agent fee of 60,000yen. Your auction deposit of 100,000yen is used in here. So, more accurately, The amount you will pay =((the auction win price)-(auction deposit of 100,000))+agent fee of 60,000yen
As a example, Assume your bidding price for your car was 280,000. we received 100,000yen auction deposit in advance. Successfully we could buy your car at 255,000. So you will be invoiced like this.
