No new vehicle listings from April 28 to May 4th

Our suppliers will be shut down at the end of April while Japan celebrates "Golden Week", a string of national holidays.

April 29 - Greenery Day (Midori no hi)
May 3 - Constitution Day (Kenpo kinenbi)
May 4 - "Between Day" (Kokumin no kyujitsu)
May 5 - Children's Day (Kodomo no hi)

Because our suppliers will be shut down those days we won't be listing new vehicles but we will still be answering emails and calls from our clients.

Don't get scammed online...

If you're thinking of buying or selling a vehicle online should read this article first. It pays to deal with people you can trust, people with a physical address that you can follow up with. Speaking of which, our delearship location in Vernon, BC is almost complete. We plan to have a grand opening in the near future for you to check out and meet us in person.

You can never be too safe!

"There are 1000 vehicles in our online inventory."

A new milestone has been reached, we just listed our 1,000th Japanese import! This event is a reminder for us that we really need to do some spring cleaning and purge some of the old listings from our DB.

Some good news on the shipping side, we've arranged some alternate options that will allow us to ship vehicles from Japan faster and sooner than ever. In some cases we can arrange delivery of your new vehicle in less than 4 weeks! Please inquire for details.

Expect shipping delays from Japan

On average we anticipate a 6-8 delay for brokered dealer or auction vehicles to arrive in Canada. Recently it's been more and more difficult to find space on the secure vessels we use to ship our clients vehicles.

Unfortunately shipping schedules are about the only thing outside of our control and we are at the mercy of the transport companies when it comes to timelines. We are currently advising clients to expect anywhere from 1 to 3 months for vehicles to arrive. We're looking into alternative shipping solutions and will keep you updated.

Yet another, Japanese vehicle shipment

Please expect customer service delays on calls and emails during February 21st, 22nd, and 23rd as we are receiving and processing a shipment of new Japanese imports. We will get back to you as soon as possible.

JDM import deposit promotion winner announced

Adam Gagnon from Calgary, Alberta is the winner of Terra2's XM Satellite Radio giveaway! He was entered into the drawing simply by placing his deposit last month during our promotion.

Adam has us looking for a mint condition (grade 4) Toyota Hilux Surf or Nissan Terrano R3M (both Turbo Diesels) so his new car audio toy will make a nice addition to his new truck! What's really interesting is that Adam is importing a Japanese turbo diesel truck as a demo vehicle for his Biodiesel conversion business. His business offers a vegetable oil (biodiesel) conversion kit for any vehicle running a diesel engine which sounds like a great compliment to the many diesel vehicles available for import from Japan.

Thank you to everyone who placed their deposit and entered the promotion.

Now is the best time to buy a Japanese Import

The Canadian dollar is at an all time high when exchanged to Japanese Yen, making right now the best time to buy a Japanese imported car in the last 13 years! This translates into an opportunity for you to pay less money, and receive more car!

If you were to buy a Japanese car for $20,074 CDN. last December, the exact same priced car in Japanese Yen now would only cost $17,346 CDN. because the Canadian dollar is worth more. Right now you could save $2728 CDN. on the exact same car!!

Nobody knows when the Canadian dollar will fall again, our recommendation is to take advantage of the reduced prices right now before they increase.
