How auction buying works with KTJAPAN
Deposit and buying limit
A refundable security deposit sets your limit: USD 1,000 for up to USD 5,000, USD 2,000 for USD 10,000, USD 3,000 for USD 15,000 and USD 5,000 for USD 25,000. Open bids count together against your limit.
Sheet check, then your maximum bid
We translate the auction sheet and condition notes. You approve a maximum bid in writing; we never bid above it.
Win, pay, ship
After a win you receive a KTA proforma invoice. The balance is due within 48 hours, then we arrange export papers and shipping.
Before you approve a bid
Can I buy directly from a Japanese auction?
KTJAPAN supports sourcing and bidding on your behalf. Review the vehicle, eligibility and written estimate before approving any bid.
Are these vehicles available to buy?
No. These are example listings that show how auction buying works. They are not live auction lots. Tell us the car you want and we will search current auctions for you.
What is included in my estimate?
Ask for an itemised breakdown of the vehicle, auction fees, Japan inland transport, export preparation, freight and optional insurance. Local taxes and clearance are separate.
