Truck M3 and Freight Charges

Sunday, October 30th, 2005

Recently,we have faced many problems regarding freight charges from Japan to various destinations. Mombasa is 90 M3 (if the customer buys 70M3’s truck which is about 6,300 US$) and For Caribbean sea is about 140 M3 (if they would buy 70M3’s truck which is about 9,800 US$)

I wouldn’t take any commission from freight charge however some importers don’t believe that. Please notice !! For big trucks the freight charge is very high.

USS Auto Auction in Tokyo, Japan

Monday, October 17th, 2005

I attended USS Tokyo auto auction last week. Then I bought one Mazda Familia. It was auction Grade “4″, however my friend Mr.Nishimura found that it was grade “R” few days ago.  I was very surprised knowing that. Of course we complained about it to USS, however, they refused our claim. They insisted that it was not a vehicle damaged in accident. I did not want to send a restored vehicle to my customer, so I cancelled the order. I had to pay 70,000 yen as cancellation fee. So the morale is buying cars in auction is sometimes risky. But we keep our customers happy even if we have to face a loss.

Nissan New GTR

Friday, October 7th, 2005

Nissan announced new GTR today. A prototype model was displayed at the recent Tokyo Motor Show.

The car will be launched in Japan and will go on sale soon afterward in Europe and North America. However, the car reviewers say that it is not a RB engine.

Nissan is considering a twin-turbocharged, 3.7-liter V6 that produces about 450 horsepower and drives all four wheels through a seven-speed sequential gearbox. The production version of the GT-R is expected to debut at the 2007 Tokyo show.

There was lot of work involved in exporting used cars to Saudi Arabia from Japan. Best Trading is displaying Lexus cars at the JETRO sponsored trade fair in Riyadh. Those who are living around Riyadh can come and enjoy this exhibition.
