Advice on importing a car from Japan, advice on importing a car to Japan

That's why the gross price and the ultimate price differ greatly in some cases. I have a "light" vehicle and I lease it, which is interesting in my case as an automotive vehicle for work. More than 300 phrases translated into Japanese and spoken in audio, in the 12 most common situations encountered by travelers in Japan, to ensure you handle the conditions of oral exchange in Japan. A vehicle container can be found for 4000€ (options and other guarantees/insurances to be taken into account).

⚠ Of course, we deduct this deposit from the vehicle price if a vehicle is won at auction. Once this deposit is made, we propose and search for vehicles corresponding to your search. This amount, requested by our platform in Japan, allows us to secure the final purchase of a vehicle and to access the vehicles' information.

So for my half the exchanges were in English for 3/4 of the time before I understood that my interlocutor spoke French ... I tried the auctions and it prevented me from sleeping a lot of night (yeah I tried a lot of times). Finally I found my happiness on a Japanese auction site. So between the second I paid for the car and the moment it was loaded onto the ship it took 3/4 weeks (the time it took to get the car back from the other side...). They have several shipping companies with whom they do business which allows them to have at least one ship per month leaving for Europe / France. Throughout your importation, we accompany you in the administrative steps related to the purchase and registration of your new vehicle.

After a meal and talking about our passion, I was guided and Anthony explained me almost from A to Z the basics of the vehicle and the way in which it is homologated. The follow-up is still intact since these last months and I will always remember this meeting! GRAND Tourisme Import, more than a simple salesman importer it is a company dedicated body and soul in its ardour and especially sincere and honest in the medium! I will only recommend to all those who are looking for a Japanese or other "Passion" vehicle to go through Anthony for their future purchases.

If the car you are importing is similar to a model marketed in the EU, the manufacturer must provide you with a partial certificate of conformity. However, you must ensure that this does not mention the adaptation or replacement of parts. This would be a barrier to obtaining your vehicle registration document.

It should also be noted that in the case of payment by cheque for an amount exceeding EUR 1,524.49, a certified cheque or bank cheque will be required. Customs will then be able to file an ex officio tax according to your instructions. As you will have understood, importing a car into France from Japan is an administrative problem, but not insurmountable if you have time to devote to it and are sufficiently prepared. It is a buyer/importer club, entirely articulated around the discussion board, a light, comfortable and secure answer.

My Japanese friend likes this car, I am well aware that its value is not high. Basically, the guy asks you what you are looking for in a car and then tells you if it is available or not. So beware, even a vehicle that has been driven a little is not necessarily a used vehicle and does not meet the same legislation. The car (1996 model) arrived from Japan on the boat in 2001 to be registered in Northern Ireland. I bought it in Nov 2004 and finally got the registration at the end of 2005. It's true that the 1500€ at UTAC hurts but as I said above it's not sure you'd have to go there.

Even after the VRT is taken into account, you can still expect to save 50% on the price of your imported car compared to buying the equivalent model on the French market. However, this conclusion should be qualified, as in this article we have only mentioned the purely strategic and administrative features related to car importation. I really appreciated the advice, the fact that he was always available whether it was during the week or the weekend. I do not hesitate to give his name to my colleagues who are looking for special vehicles. I would like to know if any of you have already bought a vehicle of Japanese origin and therefore if they are interesting vehicles.
