The seller didn’t believe us but told us, after we showed him the evidence, to send the car back.
This is rare, most sellers will just deny all, but it did not help us.
The costs of sending the car back (transport to port, shipping to Japan, transport to seller) was just too much.
A legal fight in Japan? Think about the money and time it would take with uncertain outcome.
We had to sell the car as an accident vehicle with a substantial loss.
If we would have had a reliable 3.rd party business partner, who had checked the car properly, we would have saved a lot of time, trouble and money.
We had experience and this still happened to us some years ago. Think what could happen to you.
We do not want that something like that happens to you. Take no risk, ask us to help.
Let me tell you about a typical thing that can happen and actually happened to us some years ago.
We were looking for a good Porsche 996 and found a nice one in Japan.
German specs, very low milage, good condition.
The seller guaranteed that it was accident free, was never repainted and all the good things you want to hear.
Being sceptic and careful,
we requested a check of an independent party (but didn't know anyone so we agreed to someone who was recommended by the seller - mistake). He confirmed the good condition the car was in.
"Great, let's buy this car."
We bought the car,
shipped it to Germany,
paid the import taxes and
transported it to our home base.
As usual our own experts checked the car and found out….
The car was repainted. The engine had been changed and obviously it had a repaired accident!!!
Private buyer
For private people to look for a car abroad might be difficult. What is important to consider? How can you get your car without risk? How do you get a fair price and is the car really as good as the seller promises you?
Come to Germany, visit seller and see for yourself
Dealer or Dealership
If you are a dealership and your customer wants a specific car which you finally find in Germany, you might not get it due to export restrictions or because you do not trust the seller.
