Confirming Japanese sales data

Hi All,

I'm currently considering buying a Euro car, but one that was actually imported into Australia via Japan. It is for sale via a dealership (not an import yard...just a normal new and used car dealership)

The car has very low mileage (digital dash, which at current reading suggests about 2500klms per year) - however there is no paperwork for this car.

Unfortunately, the dealership is largely throwing their hands up in the air re documents - suggesting that they cannot locate anything at all.

It's an expensive car (well over $50K), and it seems strange that anyone would be so blasé about the lack of service history or related documents. Of course, it is entirely possible that they have no documents...but I am cautious anyway.

Can anyone here tell me the best single source to go to, to confirm what I am after, which includes;

* Was the car delivered new into Japan, or did it go via UK?

* What auction rating was it given (if indeed it went through the auction system)

* What price did it sell for at auction?

* What mileage was recorded upon sale at auction?

I appreciate that there will be a fee for this - that is fine. I'd happily do a PPSR (Aus) or HPI (UK) check, but it seems they'll tell me far less than a Japan check. However, I am not sure what is available.

Thoughts?

Cheers,

Foibles

We talk about it here...

It's a couple of comments down. As a noob, I was unaware of such fantastic resources.
