Cars from the land of precision.
Japan is one of the most fascinating car markets in the world: well-kept vehicles, honest auction systems and models that never reached Europe. We source your desired car directly on the ground.
// 01 • OVERVIEW
A market with its own rules — and great opportunities.
The Japanese market rewards knowledge: low mileages, a meticulous maintenance culture and a transparent auction system with documented condition grades make vehicles from Japan particularly attractive. At the same time, models and trim variants exist there that were never officially sold in Europe. We work with established partners in Japan, verify every vehicle using the auction sheet and an on-site inspection, and only import once condition and history are convincing.

From the auction in Japan to your door.
[The process]
Sourcing
Together we define the search profile, budget and timeframe — and agree which condition grades are acceptable.
Selection
You receive curated candidates from auctions and dealer networks — with auction sheet, photos and our assessment.
Inspection
Before purchase we verify condition, history and documents — with an independent on-site inspection where needed.
Export
Purchase, the bidding process and export formalities in Japan are handled entirely by us.
Transport
Shipping by container or RoRo — insured from the Japanese port to Europe.
Customs
We take care of customs clearance, import duties and formalities — with a transparent final statement.
Documentation
Conversions for EU registration, technical inspection and full appraisal are coordinated and documented.
Handover
Prepared and registered — with a complete history, at our showroom or by enclosed transport.
// 03 • PORTFOLIO EXCERPT

// 04 • TRANSPARENCY
Realistically calculated, transparently billed.
Every import is individual — the following figures are for orientation and will be calculated specifically for your project before you make a decision.
Total costs
In addition to the purchase price, there are costs for transport, insurance, customs duties and import VAT, conversions for EU registration and our service fee. Before any payment you receive a binding cost breakdown.
Timeframe
From a successful search to handover, you should generally allow three to six months, depending on the shipping route and the extent of conversion work.
Risks
Currency fluctuations and auction dynamics can affect the final price. Where possible we secure prices early and clearly flag variable items.
