Finding a good dealer is the most crucial step if you want to participate in car auctions Japan. This is important because you’re not familiar with Japanese laws and other processes regarding car exports. In this case, an experienced car exporter can be very helpful. 

How do you go about finding an exporter then? There is no “best” way however, the process is fairly simple. In this article, I’ll list some pointers that you can follow to find the right exporter for your needs. 

You should filter those out who are inexperienced. If you’re dealing with someone new, it may lead to some problems. Say you come across a roadblock and neither you nor your exporter knows how to deal with it. Someone who has experience can easily handle these cases. 

You must also talk the dealer prior to working with them. Communication is often the biggest problem when it comes to importing a car from Japan car auctions. Most of these people have Japanese as their native language and you know only English. This, at times, leads to minor details being missed. You may want to something else and the dealer might understand something totally different. You should ideally work with dealers/companies who know English very well. 

Talking to some of their previous clients can also be helpful. They will often tell you about their experience, good or bad. This will also help you make the ultimate decision. You may also want to look if the dealer is a member of vehicle associations, or has any accreditions of any sort.Last but not the least, talk to the dealer himself and ask as many questions as you want to. If you feel that he or she is not the right person to deal with, go with your instinct.
