AUCTION DIRECT is a useful system which enables its users connect to and buy cars from Japanese auto auctions. Through AUCTION DIRECT, you will be able to view thousands of vehicles available at auctions every day, and select the cars you want to bid for. Buying cars from Japan has never been this easy, speedy or cost-efficient! Of course, we will assist you every step of the way to make your purchasing experience a pleasant one.
If this is your first visit, please read through this guideline first before continuing, in order to fully understand the rules and prices that apply.
There are over 100 auto auction sites in Japan, and many used cars are traded daily from Monday to Saturday.
The majority of vehicles that exhibit vehicles are second-hand vehicle operators that specialize in vehicles. A third party organization that evaluates the quality of vehicles is set up at the auction site, and by establishing a quality inspection system and maintaining the reliability of the auction, it is possible to make an auction via the Internet without directly confirming the vehicles.
Thousands of vehicles are bought and sold every day.
