Q&A: Japanese Car Exporter! Auctions, Shipping and Buying Cars!

[@davidbeaumont4455]

I have had the pleasure of working online with Yoshiro 3 separate times! Great guy. His knowledge of both languages and cultures make him super valuable to a bidder. Also he’s really nice and super responsive to communications! I highly recommend Yoshi and JCD! Cheers!!

[@livingthislife]

Thanks for letting me know about your experience🤙🏾🤙🏾

I want buying swift and export india how much money

[@CrisbysHangout]

I'm completely new at buying export cars thanks for this info I saved his website also . What do we need to do once the car arrives at our port? I heard something about a broker? What is a broker what does he do and how or where do we find one if we need it? Also you mentioned in the video that this export company does all the paperwork needed to export a car. But again what is needed on my part once the car has arrived at my port ?

[@hpautostyle]

Thanks so much for sharing this information, so many people are unwilling to explain the process of buying a car in Japan

[@tjw8t1]

I bought a car with Yoshi back in 2020 and had a wonderful experience with JCD. I tell everyone interested in importing a car from Japan to use them.

[@livingthislife]

I'm glad you had a good experience...great company of people.

[@Liberty4Ever]

Thank you for this very informative video. Yoshi appears to be a very honest man who provides a very valuable service. I registered at Japan Car Direct and hope to get a nice 4WD kei truck shipped to the USA.

[@livingthislife]

[@michaelwilcock3622]

Great info. Just a heads up, in Australia we have a rule like the US 25 year rule but ours in cut off at 1989. So you can import into Australia anything built on or be for 1989. I've imported a Prelude and CRX with success.

[@garviere]

Really helpful video. So what is your experience with shipping to the UK? Anything to watch out for? Also, I didn’t understand about the 25 year rule, is that just something in the states like here in uk we have a 40 year rule where by such cars no longer need MOT (our version of Sheiken, excuse spelling, which is annual) and are emission exempt. I am looking for a newer car due to the emissions restrictions in London so something around 2015, either a 76 series Landcruiser or a Isuzu nps 4x4 75000 kg 4x4 double cab. Any tips and are these vehicles you would deal with?
