Questions about the Japan used car auction sheets

We don’t expect you to understand Japanese OR an auction sheet. We translate every vehicle for you before purchase and will only purchase when we are sure you understand and are happy with the translation.

No they are not unfortunately. Have a look at the different auction sheets below for the same type of brand new car selling in the auctions. Typed and digital auction sheets are easy to read. USS hand written auction sheets unfortunately are not always easy to read.

Yes, occasionally it does.This in Japanese is called a “teisei” or a “correction”.Sometimes the correction is something extremely minor such as “do a name ownership change within 2 months please” and sometimes it is major like “changed from a grade 4 to grade R, right front inside panel replaced”.In the first case, we would ignore the correction and bid on the vehicle for you.In the second case, if we could not contact you and confirm whether you still want to bid on this vehicle,we would not bid on the vehicle for you.

Even before looking at the auction sheet there is information available to you.It is displayed on the first results page:

Results

For example, the top car in this result list for the Toyota Aqua (that does up to 40kms/liter) shows the date of the auction.The auction name (JU Saitama), the maker (Toyota), car name (Aqua), grade (S), year (2012), colour (black), cc (1500), transmission type (Fully Automatic), fuel type (Petrol), condition (9 or brand new), equipment codes (AC, ps, pw, abs, srs), start price (1,180,000yen), and the most likely time for the car to be sold (14.28pm).

Then once you click on this top car you will receive similar information:

Pre-view Auction Sheet

For example, in the above map details given as follows: auction date, auction name, maker, model, chassis type (for skilled dealers), year, kms, colour, engine size (CC), transmission type, fuel type, auction grading, start price, result time.
