BUY LOCAL JAPANESE

Buying Local? What does that even mean? Well, Japan has an amazing system of inspections on thier vehilces every 12-24 months called "shaken". This inspection is strict, not even old wiper blades are acceptable. Thus, these cars usually come with maintenance up to date, or recently done. Good, honest, quality cars and trucks, intended for the Japanese public. Let us steal one (figure of speech.....) for you!

JAPANESE LOCAL INVENTORY

$850 CAD FLAT.

So, the best vehicles you can find usually come from the inventory in Japan's inside, domestic market. The cars they buy and sell locally, coming with the integrity of their dealers. Over the years, we see nothing but the best come from this avenue. Costs we feel are the same. A budget unit with no history, sold on to auction is a risk.

If you have the tools and resources, or the spare change, go for it. However, for those looking for quality, more chance of security, and a better buying experience, we encourage you to shop the local inventory in Japan and get the best.

A bonus is, that we usually bring these in to our Japan office before export, giving you time to see them by video call before we pay for shipping. Anything wrong, chance to fix it then and there in Japan rather than having a lengthy process in your home country. We can also install Daytime Running Lights, marker lights, new wheels, tires and more. Did you know a full set of tires can be as cheap as just $190? Installed? Why not get some new tires for your inspection while it is in Japan still?

To give you an idea of the value we add to that process, here is what we do:
