Whether you are an end user realizing your life-long dream of owning a Japanese vehicle, or a used car dealer trying to save money on similar vehicle by importing it directly from Japan, the whole process of buying car from Japan and bringing it to your country can be fun and worthy investment of your money.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE IMPORTING VEHICLE FROM JAPAN

One important thing to note is that while there are hundreds of legitimate used car exporters in Japan, there are many who are scammers, who will take your money and deliver you nothing. For your safety, we suggest you deal with those used car exporters who are JUMVEA members. In order to confirm if a company is really a member of JUMVEA, you can verify their site by visiting JUMVEA website at: https://www.jumvea.or.jp Visit the members’ section of this website and confirm if the export company you chose to do business with, does exist on JUMVEA’s website.

You can also email JUMVEA at: [email protected] and confirm the authenticity of a company you intend to deal with.

JUMVEA is an organization approved by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry Japan and the purpose of its formation is to establish order of fair trade in the used motor vehicle industry. JUMVEA also has a SAFE TRADE system whereby you can pay money to JUMVEA instead of the car exporter. JUMVEA will keep your money safe until the car is shipped to you.

Once you have selected your genuine car exporter who is a JUMVEA member, next thing we suggest is to select the car you would like to import. Some companie keep ready stock while others give you direct access to car auctions in Japan to choose the type of vehicle you would like to import, and they can bid on your behalf. This way you can buy from fresh stock, displayed in used car auctions Japan, from huge numbers available to select from, while paying the right price + a small fee to the export company for proxy bidding and shipping.

We suggest to buy your vehicle direct from Auctions. There is nothing wrong with ready stock, but most of the times the stock is old, gets rusty with time, and a salesman will push you to purchase to get rid of his stock. While if you buy direct from auctions, you have complete liberty to choose the right vehicle based on your needs. There are more than 50,000 cars available for sale in auctions in Japan on the daily basis. You can certainly find what you need.
