How to buy a car from auction houses.
Only licensed dealers can purchase vehicles from Japanese auto auctions.
Buying vehicles from auto auctions is the best way to maximize savings.
Yuki Motors can assist you to purchase the vehicle of your choice from the auto auctions directly.
Yuki Motos never bid on vehicles without first checking them ourselves.
This is because we often see vehicles which, contrary to how they are represented in their online auction reports, are infact, in very bad condition.
To locate your requested vehicle, we go to the auction, check the vehicle and, await your decision.
This process is more time consuming however, your satisfaction is our first consideration.
