Japan Car Buying Initiative
Shipping from Japan worldwide

Cars sourced in Japan before they reach auction.

We find cars before auction, source damaged vehicles at low prices, dismantle and ship parts, and bid at auction for you. Shipped by container or group shipment to buyers worldwide.

What we do

Four ways to get what you need from Japan.

Pre-auction sourcing

We buy cars from sellers and dealers in Japan before they are listed at auction, so you are not competing against the auction crowd.

Damaged vehicles

Accident-damaged vehicles at a fraction of clean-car prices, for workshops, rebuilders and dealers who can repair. Every damage is described plainly.

Dismantled parts

Engines, transmissions, body panels and more from vehicles we dismantle ourselves. Packed and shipped on their own, or inside your car container.

Auction bidding

Tell us the car and your limit. We read the auction sheet, bid for you, and explain every fee before you commit.

Current stock

Browse our stock by brand.

Don't see what you need? Message us the car and your budget. We source cars before they reach auction and bid at auction for you.

Choose a brand
A number on a brand means we have that many cars in stock now.

Low price, no surprises

Cheap should never mean a nasty surprise.

Full photos and a plain description
Each damaged vehicle comes with photos of the damage and a straightforward description of what is wrong.
Car to repair, or parts only
Tell us whether you want to rebuild the vehicle or use it for parts, and we point you to the right stock.
Import rules checked first
Rules on damaged vehicles differ by country. We check your country's current rules before you pay a deposit.

Shipping

Fill a container, or share one.

For dealers

Full container

Three to four vehicles per container, or a mix of vehicles and parts. Built for repeat monthly loads.

  • Auction bidding on your behalf
  • One shipment, one set of documents
  • Sealed loading for safer transit
For individuals

Group shipment

Share a container with other buyers heading to the same port. Fixed cutoff and loading dates each month, and your own bill of lading. Find buyers in our community.

Ask us on WhatsApp for the next container cutoff and loading dates.
For workshops and parts buyers

Parts shipments

Order parts on their own, or add them to a car container to share the freight. Send us the vehicle, year and part you need.

  • Boxed or palletised for sea freight
  • Photos of the part before it ships
Container community

Ship together. Pay less.

Join our WhatsApp group and meet other buyers from your country or region. Team up to fill one container, split the freight, and bring your cars and parts home for less.
