Program
Buy your dream car with us. We thoroughly search for unique and special vehicles in Japan, including those from dealerships, auctions, and private sellers. Our inventory consists of vehicles already in transit, secured with our own deposits, or available for immediate purchase after the initial contact is made and full specifications are agreed upon.

Car

You’ll find that we clearly mark each vehicle’s availability as either in stock or available to order.

The reservation fee is optional, fully refundable, and will be deducted from the final price. If you have a specific vehicle in mind, our Individual Import process is here to help. Kindly get in touch with us and provide details such as the model, mileage, colour, budget and we will take care of the rest.
Delivery
Times
This option of buying requires a bit more involvement and may take anywhere from 7 to 17 weeks depending on various factors such as your location, specification preferences, and shipping method. However, if you are not in a rush and prefer a more personalized experience, this option could be perfect for you. It allows you to choose any car thanks to our excellent relationship with our Japanese-based export agents plus you can enjoy the excitement and anticipation of watching your car being purchased, shipped and delivered to your doorstep. If you need a car urgently, we recommend checking out our stock cars instead. We guarantee you’ll find a vehicle that fits your needs and preferences.

After making a reservation, we will contact you within 24 hours to discuss the next steps, including due payments and estimated delivery times. Once confirmed, a deposit of 10% of the total vehicle price will be taken and your order becomes live.
Final inspection in Japan is arranged to ensure that the vehicle meets our and customer expectations. We keep you informed about this via phone and email. At this stage, we require 70% payment of the total vehicle price and prepare the car for export from Japan. Your car is shipped on the first available vessel and shipping usually takes 7-10 weeks from Japan to the UK, Southampton.
Two weeks before arrival, the third and final payment of 20% is due. Upon the vehicle’s landing in the UK, we will carry out all duty and tax payments and clear the vehicle through customs. On arrival, your car will be collected from the port and delivered to our secure storage. The vehicle will undergo a preparation process, including a thorough inspection, service, and full detailing, as well as full UK registration, if required.
