How fast we can ship your car?

One of the questions often asked by our customers is ‘When will my car get shipped?’

Well, most of the Japanese cars in our stock already have “de-registration documents” so we can start arranging the shipment next day we confirm your payment. Please get in touch with us to get an idea about the approximate ocean freight time for your country.
