Recently we exported 40 mini trucks to USA. Owing to this popular demand, today we have added a new section to our homepage for Japanese Mini Trucks also poularly known as Kei Trucks. You can now check the Kei Truck stock at our Japanese Mini Truck Page.

Mini Trucks are small trucks from Japan which are very popular for off-road use in the U.S. The Mini Truck also known as the Kei Truck originated in Japan in 1964. In Japan they are used for everything from work on the farm to deliveries to fire engines. in Japan these mini trucks can be seen everywhere from downtown Tokyo to remote villages in the mountains. The term Kei refers to a the Kei class of vehicle in Japan which is a sub-compact class with engine displacement limited to 660cc.

There are several inherent advantages to these small vehicles, and the most obvious is their size. The compact size of these vehicles allows them to go almost anywhere, through small city streets, or on narrow country roads through the rice fields. The second biggest advantage of these vehicles is that they have a low cost of ownership. Kei trucks have many different uses like farm utility vehicles, off-road hunting vehicles, maintenance vehicles for schools, university campuses, golf courses, large factories, shipping yards, warehouse facilities, large ranches or dairies, horse stables, theme parks, camp grounds, airports, orchards, landscaping companies, nurseries, local municipalities, security companies, movie sets, cemeteries, the possibilities for these trucks are endless.

We are introducing a new rule about membership and deposits for used car  auction.  From now on, we will have various membership plans and benefits for our customers to ensure high quality service.

Once you enroll as our member, depending on the number of vehicles you purchased, you’ll be placed in a membership category. Thus, a new member stats as ‘Red’ member, and gradually progresses towards the ‘Premium’ status.

Our cost calculation is straight-forward. Our fees include our commission, auction fee, Japanese domestic transportation charges, and Forwarder fees (customs in Japan) and the fees vary depending on the membership type.

For example, if you are a Premium Member, and succeed in getting a car at JPY 500,000 at the auction,

your total cost would be JPY 500,000 (car cost) + JPY 70,000 (our fees) = JPY 570,000 (FOB price).

To arrive at the CIF price add the freight fee (from Japan to your country’s port) to the FOB price.

*.Please note that you will have to pay 5% commission charges on car costs exceeding JPY 1,000,000. For example, if you are a Premium Member and if you would succeed in getting a car at JPY 2,000,000 at the auction, then you’ll have to pay extra commission of  (2,000,000-1,000,000)x5% = JPY 50,000. 

Thus, the total price of the car will be 2,000,000 + 70,000 + 50,000 = JPY 2,120,000

I went to Japanese motorcycle auction together with one of my customers on Tuesday.

Normally the shipping cost for motorcyles is very high from Japan. However, if 30 motorbikes can be stacked in a 20 feet container; so the shipping cost becomes cheaper if more than 30 motorcyles are shipped in containers.

You are always welcome if you wish to go with me personally to attend motorcycle, car or truck auction in Japan.
