Japanese car auctions are ideal places for you to find the Japanese car model and make you are looking for. Not only will you find a wide selection of cars and find the exact model you want, you also get to buy them at low prices. Question here is how to buy the cars at these Japanese car auctions and finally how to import cars from Japan.

But before you even think about using Japanese car auctions in order to import cars from Japan, you need to first understand why and what your involvement is. Run through your mind and ask yourself what the reasons you are importing these Japanese cars from the auctions and not buying them locally are. It could be because of the huge savings, or simply because what you want is not available back home.

Once you got that sorted out, we can now talk about how to import cars from Japan after buying them from Japanese car auctions. By the way, this is how some local used car dealers are getting their vehicles from. The whole process first starts with you finding a Japanese car exporter.

Since they are based in Japan, they are able to get access to the auctions and view the thousands of cars on auction every day. Most car importers in US, Australia and Canada have positive remarks about J-Cars. So be sure to check them out.

According to existing car importers, J-Cars has a reputation as being able to locate high performance cars which are still in good condition. Obviously, there are dozens of choices when it comes to getting a car exporter in Japan but then again, not every exporter is reliable and known to deliver. Your money is at stake so choose wisely.

Normally, the car exporter in Japan would send you the photos or pictures and relevant details about the car you are looking for. If you wish, you can even request them to arrange for a mechanical inspection of the vehicle which probably would set you back by more than $200.

If you are confident that the car is what you want, your appointed car exporter or agent would then carry out bidding on your behalf. Once you win the bid at the Japanese car auction, your agent would inform you as well as send you the documents required for importing and registration of the car or cars. Basically, the job of your Japanese car agent ends when he gets your car onto the ship. That is where you as the importer come in.
