The auction system in Japan is very different to vehicle auctions in the UK.Auctions in the UK are generally  used to unload unwanted stock from car dealers.Any decent vehicles the bigger dealers obtain through part-exchange are fed to smaller dealers leaving less desirable cars to be auctioned off.These are then usually "sold as seen",so if the engine should blow on your way home then unfortunatley for you it`s tough luck. This is not the case with Japanese auctions.80% of all used Japanese cars will pass through the many auctions that are held across Japan almost daily.This is because there is virtually no second-hand car market in Japan.Vehicle manufacture is so huge in Japan that the government give desirable incentives to car buyers so it`s easier for them to buy new.It is actually more affordable and makes more sense to buy new than to maintain your used vehicle,therefore the turnover of used cars is huge.    All Japanese auctioned vehicles undergo mechanical and cosmetic checks and are then given a rating as to their condition.All this information plus other details like tyre tread wear and paint fade are all put on the auction sheet.Vehicle ratings are from R to 5.R being a damaged repaired to a 5 being an almost new showroom condition vehicle.All of our vehicles are graded 4.These will be in excellent condition and affordably priced.We at Triple`S`Performance Vehicles have full access to all auction sheet data plus photos of vehicle.We can determine a fully inspected quality vehicle. The bidding process is all computer operated and vehicles are auctioned off within 20 seconds.USS (Used car System Solutions) are the largest auction house in Japan.Approximately 15,000 vehicles pass through their system daily.These are then imported by companies like ourselves to countries all over the world.                     The whole process is very impressive and in true Japanese style very efficient.
