• You decide on the vehicle you want;
• Tell us what it is and your budget;
• We'll send you an estimate for the vehicle (including shipping and our fees);
• You find out your own country's import regulations;
• You read and agree to our Terms and Conditions;
• You send the deposit or payment by wire transfer ;
• We'll bid and buy only the car that has your specs (or approval);
• You send final payment within 3 days of purchase;
• We'll arrange for the de-registration and then ship it.

Make a deposit for the amount of the Maximum Bid into our account. Alternatively, you may choose to pay the entire estimated cost of vehicle. Paying all at once reduces the wire transfer charges, which are the responsibility of the buyer.

If you place a deposit and are not able to make the remainder of the payment within 5 days, please speak with us about alternative payment arrangements. A deposit will become forfeit if a client fails to make alternative payment arrangements within the 5-day balance-of-payment period.

After we receive confirmation from our bank of your payment, we will arrange to bid on the vehicle. Once we're successful, you have 3 days to wire the remaining balance of the vehicle into our account. We will then proceed to export your car. (If we are not successful in buying a vehicle within your maximum bid, we can either refund you the balance of your payment, or retain it for another purchase, as your selected vehicle will most likely be available within a few weeks of the unsuccessful bid).

Please inform us if there is a shipping company you would prefer to use. Also, we'll inform you of the marine insurance costs for your vehicle if you want to insure it.

Once your vehicle(s) is on the ship, we will fax you the shipping forms, and also send you the forms by express mail or FedEx.

Please note : Any customs duties are the responsibility of the buyer. Please be aware of any import regulations or restrictions before making an order.

Before buying a vehicle, we'll make sure it will conform to your country's specific vehicle import regulations. We won't buy a vehicle that can't be shipped to the buyer's country!

We charge a fee of $1500 Cdn for our services. Volume discounts available.

We act in a non-bias manner regarding auction houses or dealers when searching for the best vehicle for our clients. We are able to find the right vehicle for our client’s orders, regardless of what auction or dealer it comes from in Japan. If it is not in stock, we can still get it.

Remember also that you’ll have to pay for shipping your vehicle.

Here is what your fee buys you:

1. Bidding at auction on your behalf. We pay for the bid fee and winning bid fee that the auctions charge.
2. Shipping from the point-of-purchase auction to the shipping port. (Shipping from a dealer may be extra and in such a case we’ll let you know before purchasing the vehicle)
3. De-registration of the vehicle in Japan
4. All necessary inspections for exporting. This is particularly important for many countries as they will not allow a vehicle to enter if it has not been inspected.)
5. Arrange for shipping and make sure the vehicle gets on a ship to your country. We do not pay for the actual shipping costs. That is the vehicle owner’s responsibility. We will let you know how much it costs and that you get the shipping documents.
6. All the necessary documents (inspection, shipping, ownership) delivered to the owner.

For pre-order vehilces landing in BC, we provide a FREE customs clearance service. You will still pay for the duties and stuff but we will do the leg work. This means you can just sit back and relax and let us do all the running around. We will call you to pick up your car once it clears customs! For those of you who has ever imported a vehicle from Japan, you would understand the value of this service. This free service will save you at least 2 days of work. We will also provide FREE consulting for pre-order customers needing advice in passing provincial inspection and getting their vehicles registered within BC.

For an additional fee of $150 only, we will even pick up your car from the warehouse and take it to the inspection facility for you (inspection fee is the responsibility of the customer).

When you are about to buy a car or cars from us, we will be asking you to make a deposit or payment. You can choose from one the following options to pay:

You can send money for a deposit in a secure manner using your credit card through Pay Pal, and it will only sit in our account without being accepted.

Once we notice a deposit is received, we can start bidding on cars for you. Once a car is bought, we would then ask you to send the entire amount for the car, then we can “deny” the pay pal deposit so that it will be cancelled. Pay Pal will send you an e-mail stating the money has been denied.

Some people prefer this idea because Pay pal is secure and protects the sender from theft. We like it because it’s fast and convenient.
