F.A.Q.

IMPORTING

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.

PAYMENT

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.
