How it works

Five steps from picking a car to driving it. At every step you know where your car is and what it costs.

1. Pick a car

Browse live Japanese auctions or fixed-price stock. Every listing shows the auction grade, mileage in miles and kilometers, and whether it is eligible for US import under the 25-year rule.

2. Inspect and bid

We read the auction sheet and translate the inspector notes. You set your maximum bid and our agent bids for you at the live auction, never above your maximum.

3. Win and pay

Your deposit becomes the first payment and the balance is invoiced through your account. We keep the invoice to the price you saw: only duties and port fees are confirmed by US customs on arrival, and we pass them on at cost.

4. Ship and clear

Inland transport in Japan, export documents, ocean freight, US customs and title paperwork. Each stage appears in your account timeline.

5. Pick up or deliver

Collect the car at the port or have it trucked to your door.
