Can I inspect the car before shipping?
You can order a third-party inspection or rely on the auction house’s inspection reports before the car is shipped. Please note that additional inspection services involve additional costs that must be borne by you.
Japanese car auctions typically provide detailed inspection sheets detailing the vehicle’s condition. Some buyers choose additional inspection services where local representatives inspect the vehicle on your behalf.
Physical inspections by international buyers are rare due to logistical challenges. Therefore, most buyers rely on auction houses’ reports. Many platforms and brokers offer translated reports to ensure maximum transparency about vehicle condition before purchase.
