A little preparation helps you get more for your Japanese import.

1. Clean it properly

A tidy car looks cared for. Do the inside, the boot and the wheels.

2. Take good photos

Use daylight and shoot every angle, including the interior and any flaws.

3. Gather your records

Service history, receipts and any auction paperwork build confidence.

4. Be honest about modifications and faults

Buyers appreciate honesty, and hidden problems tend to come out anyway.

5. Don’t over-invest in repairs

Spending a lot to fix a car doesn’t always get the money back. Ask for a valuation first.

6. Sort out any finance

If there’s finance on the car, tell us. We can settle it directly with the finance company when we collect.

7. Talk to a buyer who knows Japanese imports

We buy Japanese imports, so we aren’t put off by the things that worry other buyers. Get a free valuation.
