How it works

From your request to the ship in Mombasa

Japanese auctions list tens of thousands of cars every week. Instead of choosing from a fixed stock list, you pick the exact car you want.

  1. STEP 01

    Send your request

    Model, year range, mileage and your target price, CIF Mombasa or landed.

  2. STEP 02

    Get a shortlist

    Two or three matching cars from this week's auctions, with auction sheets and photos.

  3. STEP 03

    We bid for you

    You approve a car and a maximum bid. We bid at the auction and send you the result.

  4. STEP 04

    Inspection & shipping

    Export inspection, deregistration and RoRo shipping to Mombasa. You receive the B/L.

Payment terms

You pay the full amount only after the car is won

Every cost is shown on the invoice: auction price, auction fees, inspection, freight and our fixed sourcing fee.

Why source this way

What you get that a stock list can't give you

The exact car you want

Choose the year, grade, colour and mileage from each week's auctions instead of settling for what is in stock.

The real auction record

You see the auction sheet before the bid and the actual result after it, so you know what the car cost.

Less money at risk

Only a deposit goes out before the auction. The balance is due once the car has been won.

One point of contact

Katsuya handles your request from search to shipping and answers on WhatsApp.
