Personal Importing

Japanese Used Cars to the UK from Japan - The Process is simple and typically involves the following:

1. When you are ready to go ahead we will obtain all of the necessary details concerning the vehicles and your budget, and begin sourcing the auctions for cars that fit your description

2. When appropriate vehicles are found at auction we will contact you with a full description of the car including an auction report, details of our own inspection, start prices and expected sale price. We in turn relay this information to you and you decide if you'd like to bid and how much you'd like to bid up to. At this stage we will require a bidding deposit which will be fully refundable should bid be unsuccessful. Please note that we will never bid on a car for you without your full approval and designated budget. Ultimately the decision is yours and we will do our best to find you a car that closely matches your ideal vehicle.

3. Once we buy your car at auction an invoice and photos will be sent to you within 24 hours. You will then pay the FOB Price directly to our bank account. The balance amount which includes shipping, freight and dockside handline fees, will be due about one week prior to ships arrival in the UK.

4. Once all funds are paid and cleared, we will notify you of customs clearance and you will be able to collect the vehicle.


WE CAN OFFER A FULL IMPORTING SERVICE OF COLLECTION FROM THE DOCKS, PREPARATION OF THE VEHICLE FOR IVA IF APPLICABLE, MOT AND REGISTRATION. WE CAN EVEN DELIVER THE VEHICLE TO YOUR DOOR. THE IMPORTING PROCESS TAKES AROUND 6 WEEKS FROM PURCHASE TO ARRIVAL IN THE UK. YOU NEED TO ADD ON ANOTHER 2 WEEKS FOR PREPARATION AND REGISTRATION. PLEASE ENQUIRE ABOUT OUR FEES FOR EITHER THE BASIC OR FULL IMPORTING SERVICES WE OFFER. EACH WEEK ON OUR PERSONAL IMPORT PAGE, WE WILL SELECT SOME TYPICAL CARS ON OFFER TOGETHER WITH THE UNUSUAL OR RARE ONES. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT ANY TYPE OF CAR CAN BE PURCHASED IN JAPAN AND THIS INCLUDES FOREIGN AND EXOTICS.
