Japan is the second market we write for. Not because every car here is JDM — because Japanese importers and private collectors still buy globally, and they buy on documents.
Expect a request for a third-party inspection that looks like JEVIC or JAAI: underbody photos, engine-bay shots, a paint-meter log, and a statement on flood, fire, and structural repair. We gather that pack before the car is marked available.
Right-hand drive is not a nice-to-have
Daily drivers in Japan are right-hand drive. An LHD Porsche will still sell to a collector; an LHD Bronco will sit. We tag drive side on every listing so a buyer in Osaka does not have to open the photos to find out.
Auction-grade language (3.5, 4, 4.5) is a shorthand Japanese traders still use even on private export. We do not invent a grade. If we have one from a Japanese auction sheet, it is on the listing. If we do not, we say so.
Landing the car
Typical discharge ports are Yokohama, Nagoya, and Osaka. The buyer handles shahaken (roadworthiness) and registration. We handle origin title, bill of lading, and a clean export certificate.
Japanese copy on this site will expand as the catalog grows. For now the listings are in English — the lingua franca of this trade — with drive side, kilometers, and origin stated in the first screen.
