About 41% of
our business is custom orders. But,
our custom order is very different
from the online brokers that you
find googling and details are below.
When you
need or desire a certain type of
vehicle that isn't in our
Canadian inventory, you can
write to us with the following:
make,
model, type of vehicle,
condition of the vehicle,
mileage, transmission type,
options such as 2wd or 4wd etc.
Once we get this info, we would
start our search. If we
have it in our inventory in
Japan, we will send you details
if we don't, we would be sending
you information of vehicles we
find on daily basis. Pictures,
grades, mileage and general
condition as well as result of
our inspection of the vehicle.
If you think it is the right
vehicle, we would bid.
Your Safety Net:
Not all vehicles sold in Japan are
problems free. In fact, sometimes
they are sold precisely because
there are issues that cost too
much for the owner to fix so they
are sold off. We have had
experiences whereby vehicles look
all nice and shiny but there is an
underline issue that is hard to
detect through a quick inspection
on the auction floor or yard.
Therefore:
We do repairs, we do service and
we sell it to you with warranty.
Furthermore once we are done with
it, you can have an independent
garage do a thorough inspection on
the vehicle before committing to
it. If your inspection finds any
power train related issues you get
your refund in full. Our service
package would include the
following:
timing belt, water pump, radiator,
fluids, filters, seals, brakes
etc. And, if we find any issues
through our inspection here, we
would do the necessary repairs.
We also do compliance, inspection
and registration in Canada
Vehicles
that are 15 year or older can be
imported into Canada but they are
not completely exempt and would
need to be inspected by a
registered facility. Certain
aspects of the vehicle would need
to be compliant such as Day Time
Running Light, DOT approved and
certified windshield, DOT approved
and certified headlights, DOT
tires as well as window glasses.
Vehicle must have high mounted
stop light, reflective lights and
other compliant related
modifications. 95% of
vehicles in japan do not have DOT
headlights. About 35% won't
have DOT approved tires, We
are responsible for doing all of
this (except tires. If it comes
with DOT tires we would of course
give it to you with those tires
and have it inspected but if not,
buyer is responsible for arranging
tires for the purpose of
inspection). We would inspect the
vehicle through a registered
garage, register it in BC and when
done, you can have it insured in
our office and drive it home.
Most importantly, we do not take
your down payment of 30% until we
have confirmed, that we have
acquired the vehicle. No importer
ever does that. Your do the down
payment only after we have
informed you that the vehicle you
have agreed to after checking the
information we have sent to you is
purchased. Until then while we
search, you have total freedom of
backing down and are not stuck
with us because you have a down
payment with us which gives you
total freedom.
