About Japanese Used Car Auctions

There are 131 used car auction sites in Japan, and auctions are divided into two types: independent auctions and dealer auctions. The largest independent auction are the USS Auctions, while the largest dealer auction is TAA Auction, operated by the Toyota Group.

Each auction type has different characteristics. At independent auctions, any Japanese ca dealer can sell their cars, so a wide variety of vehicles are available. On the other hand, dealer auctions mainly consist of trade-in vehicles from their dealers, ensuring a certain level of quality. If you want to minimize the risk of making a mistake when purchasing a vehicle at an auction, it is recommended to use dealer only auctions.

How Reliable Are Auctions?

One of the biggest concerns when participating in a Japanese auction is whether the used cars from Japan are reliable. Needless to say, Japanese used cars are highly regarded and trusted worldwide. Although the auctions are not 100% foolproof, we can confidently say they are more reliable than any other car auction around the world, and of course, cheaper. However, even with such positive reviews, it can be hard to take the leap and make a purchase.
