Out of the Office June 28th to July 1st

We will be out of the office on a camping trip this Canada Day weekend and won't be able to post new vehicle listings or respond to support inquiries. Happy Safe Canada Day!

New Feature: Email Notification of new Listings

We're testing out a new feature that allows you to receive an email the moment a vehicle is listed. You'll be able to signup for separate notifications for the top vehicles you are considering and only receive a notification when a listing that matches your requested vehicle model is added. (With the exception of special offers & industry news which are mailed to our master list)

The Mazda RX7 and Mitsubishi Delica are the first vehicle models to receive this feature while we test things out but you can expect all of our most popular models to get the email notification option soon.

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 14 years! It's an opportunity for you to pay less money, and receive more car!

Today: 1 Canadian dollar is currently worth 109 YEN
2 Months Ago: 1 Canadian dollar was worth 98 YEN
2 Years Ago Today: 1 Canadian dollar was only worth 85 YEN!

The more YEN you get for our Canadian dollar, the more car you get for your money. Right now you can buy a car that is 10% more valuable for the same price you would have paid 2 months ago.

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

Out of the Office

We will be out of the office Monday, April 23 recieving vehicles and will be back in the office Tuesday April 24th.

Receiving a Shipment of Vehicles - Friday March 30th to Monday, April 2nd

Our office will be on skeleton staff from Friday March 30th to Monday, April 2nd while we receive a shipment of landed vehicles from Japan. We'll respond to all inquiries as soon as possible and email/tickets is the quickest way to get a response.

Power Outage

We've got a power outage at our shop right now, Fri March 16th, and hope for it to be back soon. We won't be able to reply to emails or take phone calls until it comes back online. (We use VOIP phones which require the internet, and power)

Vehicles Sold

Due to popular demand, we have integrated an option to Hide vehicle listings that are Sold. You can now specify if you want to view only Available or only Sold listings by using the "Advanced Search function"

Japanese Vehicle Compliance

We've been getting a lot of questions about the recently issued Vehicle Inspection and Standards Bulletin from the CVSE.

There is a lot of rumors and misinformation floating around that imply these changes to the Inspection process have made it harder to import a vehicle from Japan.

We wanted to take a moment to address these concerns and give you the hard facts as we see it.

Please read this important article about how the Inspection Bulletin affects you.

Japanese Auctions!

Japanese Auctions, Auctions, Auctions! You may have noticed dozens of Japanese Auction cars and trucks being listed almost daily.

Auction vehicles can be a great way to save money and get a higher quality vehicle but you need to act fast when you see the one you want. Typicaly we will list an auction vehicle in the morning and it will be up for auction later that night.

If you see a vehicle that you want to own, send us an Inquiry and place your $1000 deposit. We won't place a bid without calling you first and won't bid on a vehicle that our agents in Japan can't view in person first.

You may have also noticed that we list many examples of just a few models. When choosing vehicle to feature for you, we look at our Custom Order Requests to see what clients like yourself are in the market for.

New Client Support system launched

We're implementing a state of the art Client Support application that you will see in the next few days. We appreciate your patience while we work out the bugs on this tool designed to provide you with the highest level of customer satisfaction.

The office will be completely shut down from December 20th to January 4th for the holidays. We will only be able to respond to emergency requests and clients who have vehicles in transit during this time. Thank you and drive safe!

The team will be out of the office Friday November 17th to Monday November 20th receiving a shipment of vehicles from Japan.

What about pricing for other Provinces?

We regularly import vehicles for buyers across Canada and will arrange shipping to have the vehicle landed in the closest major city in your province.

The prices we list are landed in Vancouver, BC costs so we will need to adjust the Provincial Sales Tax and add cross-Canada shipping to your cost. For buyers in other provinces and other countries please place your deposit and then inquire for details.
