I've imported 2 cars from Japan and my only complaint was the importer I bought them from wasn't very good at communicating with me. Like once the bid was won he was impossible to get ahold of until the car arrived here in Canada. he also didn't live in Japan so I didn't have anyone i could directly contact that could put hands on/ take video's or answer any detailed questions about the car. I also did all the searching on the auction site and just told him what cars I was interested in, he didn't do the looking for me. That being said, Ill be looking to import another car once I've finished getting my current project finished up and will definitely be contacting Jeff when the time comes.

When I worked at a dealership I had to go to a few auctions to pick up some used cars. There’s such a wide spectrum of cars up for bid. I remember having to drive an 07 sti back to work from the auction it was fun experience.

@quickcooper61 2 жыл бұрын

This was an awesome video that gave me a lot of insite persknally. It sound's like Jeff has a warehouse to temporarily store cars before shipment. Does Jeff ever hold cars for a short period of time to allow owners to visit Japan and get a chance to road trip around the county in their car before shipping it home? This would be the ultimate value add in my book. Already have an F80 bmw to finish paying off, but I may be interested in something with a rotary that is right hand drive in the not too distant future. Great work to both you and Jeff! Keep it up!

Dam I feel like I’m going through the 5 stages of grief after watching this, I always immediately check online auctions of these kinda cars after every video then the denial hits- what no they aren’t that expensive. Anger- dam it why is it so much!. Bargaining- I’m sure I can get it for cheaper? Somehow? Maybe I can do some work myself?. Depression- still expensive, so I am sed. Acceptance- I guess I’ll never get one…then I see the next video and the cycle repeats. Still an awesome video anyway, keep up the awesome work

it's a dream to Japan, and looking forward to work there as well. But as a person that never travel overseas, i would like to know what are the steps. Should i get my visas, move to Japan then get a job or i apply jobs through online then move there ? Really appreciate it if someone could give me an advice about traveling and stuff

@FirstLastOne Жыл бұрын

Watch lots of youtube videos first and by lots, I mean until you pretty much understand what the real Japan is like or until you're bored and move on to the next thing that seems interesting. Unless you understand what Japan is really like before you go there, you will most likely think that life will be as easy going as it is/was on your holiday visit there. And it won't, unless you're swimming in money and don't need to work to pay for everything. You will quickly realise that Japan is like most other places and has its ups and downs. This is based on nearly 30 years of traveling to/from Japan, living and working in Japan. I won't say more because I don't want to discourage you from having a look for yourself. It's time well spent if you really want to visit/live/work in Japan. Ganbatte!

@SpartanQwop Жыл бұрын

I recently went to Japan, just to visit for about 2 and a half weeks, and I have to say it's absolutely amazing. Though the work culture there is incredibly difficult (long work hours, stressful people there etc) but the positive is that everything there is incredibly inexpensive, even in and around Tokyo! So i would highly advise that you visit there first, my suggestion go for at least a month or two, if you can!
