I’ve been exporting cars from Japan for dealerships & importers for 30+ years. Ask me anything about Japanese auction grades, shipping, or how the export process really works.

Hi everyone,

I made a post like this in another sub-reddit and it did well and I thought why not share the knowledge even further.

I’ve worked in the Japanese used car export industry for the last 30 + years, helping dealerships and independent importers buy vehicles directly from Japan’s major auctions (USS, TAA, Arai, etc.). I’ve seen a lot of misconceptions online about the trade. So ask me anything, whether you're a small dealer, a garage owner, or just curious about how Japan's used car supply chain works.
