Why JapanCars?
Japanese cars, imported and prepared by people you can talk to.
JapanCars sources vehicles directly from Japanese auctions, brings them through inspection and compliance, and sells them from our own yard.
From auction to your driveway
Every car goes through the same five steps.
You can see where each car is on its listing. That's what the "Arriving soon" tag means.
Bought at auction
We choose cars at Japanese auctions using their auction grade and inspection sheet.
