How do I buy a car from Japan Trading Direct and have it imported?
Japan Trading Direct has developed a safe, straightforward 5-step system to enable you to buy your dream classic car from Japan. This is how it works:
- Browse our small portfolio of classic cars
- Email info@japantradingdirect.com to let us know if a car catches your eye. We will gladly send you more detailed photos of the car and give you further information about the specifications and service history.
- To proceed with the purchase of the car, we will send you an invoice and detail how to make your payment by telegraphic transfer.
- After we have confirmed your payment your vehicle will be booked on the next available vessel to your nearest available port. The documents will be sent to you by DHL a few days after the car has been shipped.
- Once you have received the documents you can arrange collection and registration in your country.
Which countries do you ship to?
Can you help locate a car, if it is not listed in your portfolio?
Yes! If you have your eye on a specific vehicle that is not listed in our current stock, please contact us. We would be very happy to locate your dream car for you.
The Japan Trading Direct team are experts in tracking down exclusive, hard to find collectible cars in great condition. Please email us at info@japantradingdirect.com with as much detail as possible. We will get back to you as soon as possible to confirm the search.
Why buy from Japan?
The demand within Japan for collectible classic cars is not as high as in many other countries making the price of older, classic cars relatively low. So even with shipping charges and port fees etc you can get a good price for a highly desirable motor.
Does Japan Trading Direct specialise in a particular model of car?
That said we do have a special soft spot for air-cooled Porsches. These beauties have made up a high proportion of our purchases and exports over recent years. We love to locate fabulously maintained Porsches – some of our favourites are 911R, 930 Turbo, 993RS, 993GT2, 964RS.
