What's a Japanese Licenced Dealer Car Auction?
The Japanese Licensed Dealer Car Auction allows only dealers who have used-car dealer licenses authorized by the Japanese Government.
Furthermore, only dealers who pass through an auction house's examination can become that auction's member. A company's business history, property and means are checked and the company is required to provide sureties and security funds.
All over Japan approx. 100 auction houses hold weekly auctions between Monday and Saturday offering approx. 150,000 vehicles each week for sale.
For example, the largest auction house, USS Tokyo, held every Thursday offers an average of 18,000 vehicles auctioned each day from 9:00 AM to 2:00 AM the next morning.
There is a 599,000 square-meter auction yard with 2,400 buyer seats. USS Tokyo auctioned off a record of 22,072 vehicles on March 27, 2008.
These auctions are not open to the general public. However, you can purchase your vehicle at a Japanese Licensed Dealer Car Auction directly throught the AUTO HOUSE Auction Agent Sercice.

Why purchase from a Japanese Licensed Dealer Car Auction?
A Japanese Licensed Dealer Car Auction is a very professional, highly modernized, and well organized affair. They act as a third party between a buyer and a seller, and it is their aim to establish fair and transparent trades at the car auction market.
At this auction, every vehicle is inspected by an auction house's professional car inspector before an auction opens.
They perform a comprehensive car inspection of the mechanical, body, and interior condition of a vehicle and their findings are filled out on an auction sheet.
Their professional inspection covers not only appearance damage but also any hidden problems, such as flood damage, odometer rollback, or the vehicle having been salvaged, and these details will also be noted on the auction sheet.
