Japanese used vehicle exporting is a
large component of international trade, which
involves the export of used cars and vehicles from
the Japanese domestic market (JDM), to numerous
markets around the world. Despite the high cost of
transport, the sale of used cars and other vehicles
to other countries is still profitable, due to the
relatively low cost and good condition of the
vehicles being purchased. Contributing factors to the
viability of the vehicles for export, include: strict
motor-vehicle inspections, high depreciation, which
make such vehicles, after six years, worth very
little and strict environmental laws, that make
vehicle disposal very expensive. Consequently, used
car exporting has increased to over to 1,136,000
units in 2006.
The most popular destinations for
used JDM cars are: Kenya , New Zealand, United
Kingdom, Australia, Ireland, Pakistan, Peru, Bolivia,
Paraguay, Russia and the Philippines. Additionally,
Chile, Singapore, South Africa and the United Arab
Emirates are used as popular transit hubs.
Used car exporters, sometimes referred to as export
agents, have a number of sources at their disposal.
Japanese used cars are mainly sold in Japan at auto
auctions by car owners and dealers. At auto auctions,
owners are hidden from bidders while the auctioneers
provide independent car evaluations (called
Inspection Sheets) and place for sellers and buyers
to meet. Although auto auctions are primarily for
Japanese residents seeking an alternative from buying
at dealerships, many exporters, acting as a bidding
agent for the importer, use this as their main
supply. There are over 30 major (over 200 total) auto
auction groups operating throughout Japan including
JAA, JU Group, TAA, USS, and ZIP.
The vehicles in these auctions are auctioned at a rapid 8 seconds per vehicle, every week an approximate 10,000 vehicles get auctioned in each of these Japanes auction.
