The site which we used to use up until 09/2008 was amayama- they dont appear to be active now. Look them up on google at one stage used to show a photo of car. Was a great way of finding out if your broker or whoever was acting for you to purchase at auctions was being honest- no none of them were. Example- bid 1m yen you got it for 1m yen then find out it sold for 700000 yen plus their fee of 100,000 yen an extra 200,00 yen to them. Just a game which you play.

If you can buy it here and look at it-touch it-drive it and the price is reasonable after doing some research why pay two commissions to a broker here and their agent in japan who actually buys the car and organises shipping (usually 100,000 yen which is ok as he does 95% of work) Just a little advice as the two commissions have just added a minimum $2k to your dream car,

If the owner didn't sell at that money, he's on crack...

I second that, I gave a reputable import a budget for a car. I won it and they told me they bought it for just in my budget. I ended up finding out what it really sold for and they had fluffed up the price quite a bit. When confronted about it they told me someone in the office had made a mistake. I never bought a car from them again.

So yeah, it would be great if you could see how much cars where selling for.

I saw 1,000,000 yen FOB mark up on a Blue R34 GTR a while back, spammed out by the usual so would love to know the kick back on that one.

I've got access to everything coming up that's no problem, I just can't give MY access out to my clients so they can search through the auctions themselves... I don't mind doing it for them, it's just that most of them want to search for themselves.
