Two ways in.
Bid live at Japanese vehicle auctions and access a vast selection of vehicles available throughout the week, or choose a vehicle from a selection of Japanese dealers and wholesalers at fixed prices.
Our advice: we recommend checking Japanese dealers and wholesalers first, as their vehicles are offered at fixed prices and can be purchased immediately, providing a faster and more straightforward option.
Auction bidding can take longer, as you’re competing against other buyers and waiting for the right vehicle to come up. However, auctions can also provide greater opportunities to secure a vehicle at a more competitive price than fixed-price dealer or wholesale stock.
Before bidding, read our auction recommendations.
Bidding at auction
Browse a vast selection of vehicles and bid to win at a competitive price.
- 01
Register
Create a free live auction account, where you can view, manage and place bids on vehicles.
- 02
Authenticate
New accounts start as guest accounts, and bids placed without an active deposit are not treated as legitimate by the Japanese auctions. To activate bidding, a refundable deposit of ¥150,000 or 10% of the car price (whichever is higher) is required. This is not a fee — it is credited toward your vehicle when we win, rolls over to your next car if we miss out, and is refunded in full if you decide not to go ahead.
