Japanese Used Car and Truck Exporters

Visitors from Germany

5th September 2007

I took 2 ”Skyline GT-R maniac”s from Germany to Japanese car auction, USS Tokyo, last week.
They looked really having fun participating in auction.

Dos Alemanes nos visitaron la semana pasada.
Ellos compraron dos ‘Slyline GT-R Maniac’ en USS tokio.
 

 German
(They succeeded in getting 2 GT-Rs at the auction last Thursday.)

And they told us that there are few GT-Rs in Germany, but people,
especially young people, love it. It is wonderful that everyone in the world loves Skyline.

This is the first time for us to export Skylines to German, however, we hope we are going to export more GT-Rs to Germany in the future
and many car maniacs to try driving with that nice car!

Unfortunately, one of them had to back to Germany in a hurry, but we had some beers with another customer at the bar near our office last Friday night. After drinking, one of our office clerks showed him around Kabuki-cho, busiest town in Shinjuku. There are not only many Japanese but also so many non-Japanese day and night. We recommend you to experience that hot town.

We will welcome everyone from the world who likes Japanese car and loves beer!

Ellos nos contaron que haya un poco de GT-R en aleman,pero la gente joven especial lo ama a GT-R.
Es primera ves que nosotros exportamos Skyline a alemania,pero nos encantariamos exportar mas
GT-R a alemania!!

Unos dias despues,uno de ellos regreso a su pais y con otro fuimos a tomar cerbesa el viernes pasado
en un bar donde esta cerca de nuestra oficina.
Despues de tomar,guiamos a Kabuki-cho,donde esta mucha gente y es centro de shinjuku.
Habia muchos japoneses pero tambien habia muchos extranjeros el dia y la noche.
Recomendaoms que tenga una experiencia en Kabuki-cho ,Japon!!
Porfavor acuerdense que ustedes siempre bienvenidos,visitense si usted quiere conocer a japon o
le gusta la cerbeza!!

Approach of typoon to Tokyo

6th September 2007

tifon20070906 

(quotation from Yahoo!Japan)

A big typoon, named FITOW is approaching to Japan now.

We had cool weather these days…it is very nice for us because it was too hot this summer in Japan!! The Japanese record for the maximum temperature was broken, it was 40.9 degrees Celsius / 105.62 degrees Fahrenheit on 16th August in Saitama and Gifu (they are apart each other but both inland areas). In the other words, we experienced the hottest summer we had never had!

In Japan, approaching typoon is one of the phenomenons of getting Autumn every year. We usually have big typoons more in September and Octorber than in July and August.
Once it hit the city, it is hard for us to spend our daily life. Crazy wind makes our umbrella no more work, many things like Kawara, tiles on roof of Japanese house, fly away and vehicle, even if it is big one, overturn. Driving rain is also bad for us because it causes floods.
Soon it comes good season for harvest. I hope Kome has no damage!!
(Do you know what Kome is? The answer is terribly good rice in Japanese.)

It will be probable that cars in the ship from Japan cannot leave on time due to bad weather. With strong waves, it is danger for both PCC/RoRo ships and container ships.
We will thank you for your understanding about a little delay to arrive at your port because of safeness and protecting your cars from damages.

 

 

Estos dias el crima un poco frio,pero esta muy bueno porque este verano hacia muchisimo calor en japon.
Hacia un calor inusitado,renovo un recordo de tempratura.
Nunca tuvimos tan calor como este verano.

Ahora estamos epoca de tifon.Siempre vienen muchos tifones en septiembre o ocutubre.
a veces gran tifon da un golpe directo a la ciudad y nuestra vida.
El gran tifon trae viento muy fuerte y se lleva el tejado o a veces se lleva el auto tambien.
Hacemos auccion aunque tormenta,pero es muy duro examinar en ese situacion…
Despues de tormentas viene tiempo cosecha.Ojala que el tifon no le de un golpe a Kome…
(Sabe que es Kome?Kome es el mejor arros !)

Me parece que puede ser que haya unos probremitas del barco desde japon por el tema de tifon(las olas
altas etc..)
Es un peligro para barcos de PCC/RoRo y contenedor.
Muchas gracias por entender de aplazar unos dias para salir del puerto,eso para protejer y no danar
a sus autos. 

Hoy presentamos Auction en Kyushu,punta del extremo meridional de japon.
ahi se pueden comprar muy barato pero sale un poco caro por el tema del barco.

The previous model of GT-R had equipped its body based on Skyline, however, new GT-R has the original body. Therefore, new GT-R is distinguished from the latest Skyline, appered in the end of 2006, and no description of “Skyline” in the name of new GT-R.

New Skyline image3

We always have received many inquiries about Skyline and GT-R from the world. It usually takes a few month or so untill new model cars are lined up in Japanese auction market.
So…we can start suggesting and selling New-Used GT-R to you around the end of 2007 or the beginning of 2008.

Renewed and whole New model: Toyota Landcruiser 200 and Mark X Zio

26th September 2007

As I wrote in my last blog, new Nissan GT-R is coming this autumn (soon!). And I introduce 2 new cars, renewed Toyota Landcruiser 200 and Toyota Mark X, named “Mark X Zio.”

[Toyota Landcruiser 200]
First, Toyota Landcruiser 200 has undergone a model change, and has 4.7 litres V8 engine as well as its previous model Landcruiser 100, however, this model has also VVT-i, achieves its output 39kW upper than 100 model. And this new Landcruiser 200 has”Crawl Control” that can control engine and brakes to keep speed being low automatically when this car drives at, for example, off-road, steep rise in the road, sandy road and so on. This is the first car in the world which equips it originally. With this helpful system, all you have to pay attention when you drive on bad condition road is not to miss your steering operation!!
Those are why people call this newest Landcruiser “The King of 4WD.”

Toyota Landcruiser 200

[Mark X Zio] 
Second, Toyota Mark X Zio was announced on 26th September.
Its concept is that it can not only be SEDAN but also be WAGON and MINIVAN, in other words, you can chenge its style whenever you want. This is like compact car but its capacity is 6 (maximum.) with luxual sophisticated interior/exterior styles and high-qualitied driving performance, Mark X Zio can attract to everybody who is thinking about buying new exciting car!!
