Step 05

Price Confirmation & Deposit

After selecting your vehicle, we provide recent sales data to give you a clear view of current market values. A maximum bid is then agreed based on the vehicle's condition, mileage, auction grade, and market trends. This defines the highest price we will bid on your behalf, ensuring a strategic approach while protecting you from overpaying.

Under ¥1,000,000¥100,000
¥1,000,000 or more10% of market price

Your deposit is applied strictly toward your approved vehicle purchase. No action is taken without your confirmation.

Step 06

Auction Bidding

Once the deposit is confirmed, bidding is conducted through Japan's auction network based on your approved conditions.

  • All bids placed within your pre-approved maximum
  • Successful bid: vehicle secured, process moves forward
  • Unsuccessful bid: sourcing continues in upcoming auctions

Step 07

Final Payment

Once your vehicle is successfully secured, a final invoice is issued covering:

  • Auction invoice price — exact amount paid at auction
  • Service fee
  • Domestic transport within Japan, depending on the auction location

Vehicle Registration & Preparation (On Request)

Registration and vehicle preparation can also be arranged as part of the process. These services are not included in the standard service fee — they are offered on request and reflected in the final invoice accordingly.

  • Registration-related procedures (inspection, documentation, and associated fees)
  • Vehicle preparation (maintenance, inspection, and required servicing)
  • Interior and exterior detailing, including premium finishing and glass coating

Payment is completed based on the issued invoice to proceed with the process.
