Auction Access

The USS (Used Car System Solutions) auction network is a feat of engineering. Japan's auction systems are an absolute marvel, a huge network of vehicle auctions across the country with hundreds of thousands of vehicles passing through a month. That means we have unrequited access to their huge inventory of vehicles, including iconic and rare vehicles from across the world. Japan’s unique and vibrant car culture, combined with strict road regulations and tests such as the Shaken (a vehicle inspection every 2 years, similar to an MOT, but far more in-depth and incredibly strict), results in a stockroom full of well-maintained cars being sold at auction, lots of them still in excellent condition. The high cost of keeping these older cars on the road, along with constant release of newer models, encourages owners to sell vehicles that would still be considered high-quality and roadworthy in most other countries. As a result, rare, low-mileage, and performance-orientated cars appear frequently at these auctions, usually at surprisingly affordable prices. Every vehicle listed comes with a detailed auction sheet, which we can translate within a couple days notice, graded and inspected by professionals in Japan, providing full transparency on the car’s condition. Buyers can confidently bid online in real time, knowing they’re getting accurate information. The sheer scale, efficiency, and integrity of the USS system make it an ideal gateway for enthusiasts and petrolheads looking to source rare and reliable JDM cars.
