Get past Japan Auction info and km history for most imports Hi All, just a quick one. Thought we would let you know about this site www.japancarhistorycheck.com which has recently been recommended to us for getting hold of past auction records including pictures and actual sale price in Japan going back to 2009. We've seen a few reports from those who've had checks done and in some cases it has saved them from an expensive mistake. This can be really handy for anyone who already owns an import or has their eye on one for sale, as you can find out the real condition it was in and the kms before it left Japan. With the high incidence of odometer tampering on imports by sellers, it's hard to know what's genuine these days. Most cars exported from Japan have gone through auction, as that's the cheapest source, so odds are they'll be able to track down the auction info for your car if it left Japan in the last 7 years. They can also supply the km readings at every re-registration going back to new in some cases which will give you a full Japan odometer record. There are a couple of other sites around where you can get hold of an export certificate copy but this will only give you the last two odo readings. Much better to have the auction report plus official Japan Transport Authority records going back as far as possible. They also have a quick turnaround time if you need the info fast before you buy. Anyway, we are all for services like this which help the consumer avoid being ripped off, so you might like to check it out if you need to do some detective work on a Japanese import to find out if it's the real deal. Cheers.
