F.A.Q.

Can I import a car as a private importer?
Usually yes, however each country has it's own regulations and laws governing importing used Japanese cars or trucks. We can offer a complete bespoke advice on how to import into either the UK, most East African nations or Russia. Depending on the country, you may not be able to import some car models, so you will need to check with your respective country's registration and importation laws before you begin the purchasing process with us.



Can I buy a car/cars which is/are not listed on your stock list?
Yes, you can. Please just send us details and requirements and we will offer you a ball-park FOB/CIF price.

Do you give any warranty for the vehicles?
I am afraid we don't, neither do any of the auctions in Japan or the UK. All our vehicles are bought direct from auctions or through our network of suppliers and are based on a wholesale purchase. We do provide interior/exterior descriptions, photos, mileage, as per the auctions sheet provided, etc. All vehicles are graded cosmetically 3.0 to 4.5.

How To Make Payment?
We only accept T/T at the moment. We do not accept any payment by credit card or L/C. Please note that all bank transfer charges should be paid by customer/consignee so that our quoted FOB amount reaches the bank.

Where to send payment?
Generally payment (T/T) is made direct to Japan, but on occasions payment or deposits can be made locally in the UK (if importing to the UK), ask for details.

Do you accept Credit Cards?
Not at the moment.

Do you deal with foreign currencies?
Currently, T/T's to Japan only accepts transfers in Japanese Yen. Occasionally we can accept payment/s into the UK account in sterling.

Do you accept L/C?
No. Currently, only T/T.

How can I see the equivalent cost in my own currency?

What are your payment terms?
Payments must be made in Japanese YEN by T/T, or sterling if specified.

Do you offer credit?
No.

How much are the shipping charges?
Importers to the UK are encouraged to advise their customs clearance agents of the vehicle CM3 (cubic dimensions) and FOB and they will advise accordingly. We offer a 'Landing Around' quote, but it is purely for guidance and reference only as there is a diversity of clearing methods. Importers to Africa, Russia and other countries are quoted CIF prior to shipment.

Can you provide me with a shipping schedule?
Yes, or contact your shipping clearing agent

Can I insure my shipment?
All vehicles are insured prior to shipment against loss, however, other forms of damage whilst in transit are not included in our policy. To further insure your vehicle you may want to to open a more comprehensive marine insurance.
