Why buy from Japan

More car, fewer compromises, a fairer price.

Japan keeps the world's best-maintained, lowest-mileage cars — and sells them through transparent, independently graded auctions. We give you the key to that market.

💴
01

A genuinely lower price

You buy at live auction wholesale — no Irish forecourt markup. Many clients land their car for less than the local retail price, even after shipping, VRT and our fee.

🎨
02

Rare colours & spec

Want a midnight purple, a factory two-tone, or a trim Ireland never officially got? Japan has it. We hunt the exact colour and specification you've been searching for.

📏
03

Low mileage, garage-kept

Japanese drivers cover few kilometres and service obsessively. Strict "shaken" roadworthiness culture means clean, rust-free cars that are years ahead of their age.

🔍
04

Total transparency

Every car comes with an independent auction inspection sheet — graded, mapped and honest. You see condition, faults and history before a single euro is bid.

🌏
05

Unmatched choice

Over 150,000 vehicles cross Japan's auction floors every week. JDM legends, 8-seat MPVs, hybrids, kei cars, campers — selection Ireland simply can't match.

🛡️
06

One partner, zero hassle

Bidding, export docs, shipping, customs clearance, VRT, NCT and Irish plates — handled by one team who does this every week. You just choose and collect.

Landed-cost & VRT estimator

Move the figures to see roughly what your car will cost on the road in Ireland — no surprises, no pressure.

Estimated on-the-road cost

0
delivered, cleared & on Irish plates

    ★ Indicative estimate only. Our concierge fee is set automatically from the car's value, with Irish VAT at 23% added on top. Actual VRT is set by Revenue from the car's Irish OMSP, CO₂ and NOₓ; duty/VAT on the car depend on the import route and your status. We give you an exact, itemised quote before you commit a cent.

    Buy with your eyes open

    Auction grades, decoded.

    Very often, yes — especially for in-demand models, MPVs and JDM performance cars. You're buying at wholesale auction with no forecourt markup. Use the estimator above for a realistic landed figure, and we'll confirm with an exact quote before you commit.
