Overview:
Country Japan is well known for its automotive industry. Japan has more than 80 auctions each week and a lot of agents claim coverage of them. In reality, most of the vehicles are sourced from a smaller number of Major auctions. These are the main auctions that are attended weekly by reliable auction inspection agents.
Online Auctions held in AUCNET and NPS:
A few of the auctions are held on Monday but most Auctions are held online on the internet such as AUCNET and NPS. These are the well-known auctions that are held online in Tokyo Nyusatsu. These auctions don’t enable physical inspections because there is no centralized auction location for that. Although you can verify the Car auction sheet from the website My Auction sheet which is fully trustworthy.
Other auctions are so small that is not necessary to take an agent there to inspect vehicles on the auction.

The USS Company has been buying other auctions aggressively for several years, and now controls almost more than 50% of all the auction sales in Japan by volume.
Move Vehicles from TAA to USS Company:
On the other side, the company TAA (Toyota Auto Auctions) also has some of the smaller non-USS branded auctions that tend to be cheaper than most USS auctions. In the world, we offer to see cars that move from TAA to USS by dealers making a quick profit.
Most people use JCHC to provide past auction data to our clients as part of pre-auction checks. Knowing the previous condition and sale price which gives clients an advantage over most buyers. That allows the buyers to target cars that are the first time up for auction, which will usually be at lower prices.
Fukuoka country located in the south of Japan has a lot of several good auctions each week. They can also offer some cheaper deals. JCHC allows additional transport of about Thirty Thousand Yen to the city of Osaka for shipping if it is required. The shipping from nearby Moji Port is much less frequent. Always make sure to verify auction sheet before coming to any decision.
Auctions You Should Avoid:
The Buyers should avoid all Sapporo / Hokkaido auctions due to their rust issues. The Sapporo is on the island of Hokkaido in the North of Japan which is near Russia. They have about 7 months of snow each year and salt on the roads. It simply means many of the vehicles in Sapporo are affected by rust.
The transport to the nearest port of Yokohama costs around 60,000 Extra Yen depending on the vehicle.
JU Gifu Auction held in Nagoya:
They should also avoid JU Gifu Auction held in the Nagoya region on Saturday; this auction is mostly used by dealers who are re-selling vehicles from other auctions for a quick Profit. A lot of vehicles there pass in unsold due to high reserve prices. There are several other small auctions which are located outside the main city areas of Japan where they are not viable to arrange physical inspections due to their distance and a very small number of cars.
