In this article, we'll introduce you to an alternative method of purchasing a JDM vehicle that could save you a substantial amount of money. Say goodbye to inflated prices and hello to affordable JDM cars.
Exploring Japanese Auctions: Your Path to Affordable JDM Cars
Many people may not be aware of this, but Japanese auctions are an excellent option for acquiring a high-quality JDM vehicle at a reasonable price. Here's why you should consider this route, especially when utilizing our services:
1. Convenience from Start to Finish
ZervTek takes care of everything, from the moment you express interest in a vehicle to its delivery. Whether it's to your doorstep off-base, or the base you're stationed at. We ensure a hassle-free experience.
2. Wholesale Prices
Japanese auctions are typically more affordable because access is limited to dealers and exporters. By going through ZervTek, you'll have the opportunity to purchase your dream car at essentially wholesale prices.
3. Variety and Flexibility
Auctions provide a wider array of options compared to traditional dealerships. You can choose what you want to bid on and how much you're willing to spend depending on each vehicle.
4. Informed Bidding
Wondering how much you should bid on a car? We provide you with sales data going back three months, allowing you to make educated choices and bid with confidence.
5. Thorough Inspection
All vehicles at the auction are inspected by the auction house which provides detailed auction sheets. We'll translate these sheets for you, helping you make an informed decision.
6. Additional Inspection Options
For added peace of mind, Zervtek can conduct further inspections on the vehicle, providing you with additional photos and videos to ensure you know exactly what you're bidding on.
7. JCI at Your Discretion
By not involving ourselves in the Japanese Compulsory Insurance (JCI) process, your vehicle reaches you faster. There's a wealth of information and resources available online that can guide you through the JCI process. Additionally, you can seek assistance from your base's Vehicle Registration Office (VRO) if needed. It's important to note that JCI is deliberately portrayed as complicated in some instances to allow dealers to add an extra margin. This practice is widespread across Japan and serves as an additional source of revenue for many dealerships. We empower you to handle the JCI process, ensuring a faster, more cost-effective, and transparent journey to owning your JDM vehicle.
8. Transparent Pricing
We offer a service with a fixed service charge based on the vehicle's price. Our transparency ensures you know exactly what you're paying for, with no hidden charges or inflated profit margins.
The Step-by-Step Process
To make sure you understand the entire process, here's a quick overview:
- Contact Us: Reach out via WhatsApp or Email. WhatsApp is faster, and all official documents can be sent via email.
