Why are so many used-vehicles available at a Dealer Car Auction in Japan?
First, it is very important to know how the car market works in Japan.
Japanese used vehicles are created when a Japanese customer sells their previously
brand-new vehicle in order to purchase their next vehicle.
When Japanese people purchase a new vehicle, almost everyone sells their older vehicle to a dealer as a trade-in.
Vehicles are rarely traded privately through newspaper ads, car magazines, or the Internet.
Japanese customers really do not like private sales and seldom use this method, because they want to save time, effort and potential post-sale headaches.
Also, buyers want to avoid purchasing a vehicle which has hidden problems.
More than 90% of the total number of used vehicles are purchased by dealers as trade-ins and approximately 80% of the trade-ins,
8,000,000 vehicles per year, are sold through a Japanese Licenced Dealer Car Auction.
We offer you access to the databases of the major 84 auction houses with over 150,000 vehicles available for sale each week.
