Many people ask us why cars from Japan have low mileage.
The answer is that Japan is overcrowded and most cities have a population of 3 million to 15 million people only 30 of the land is good for life - rest are chains traffic mountains is congested, most people use their cars only after work or on weekends, and they park next to the station and go to work anymore, because the traffic is so congested, drivers usually don t drive fast or long distances, and must stop the traffic lights every few hundred meters all motorways are charged at no charge if the car travel is not cheap travel to Niigata to Tokyo by highway can cost up to NZD 300, just to cover 400 km.
All these factors contribute to Japanese drivers driving less mileage Therefore, not only small, but cars are not used much and still in very good condition, which is good for us.
Other people ask questions why there are so many cars from Japan.
The simple answer is Japan is a small country in size, but has a population of 127 million people is a big market for Japanese domestic automakers like Toyota or Honda These market car giant strongly to change to a car latest Consequently, many barely used cars are available each year.
People also ask us to make the car owners in Japan get their cars serviced regularly.
And yes When Sold, each car is serviced after 3 months and again after 1 year, free of charge, by dealers such as Toyota and Honda drivers buy Japanese mechanical guarantees and insurance and keep their well maintained vehicles is part of the deal with dealers encourages buyers to regularly maintain their cars advice that Japanese drivers follow Japanese car owners understand that their car will have better business value when properly maintained too Normally, they trade in their cars in 5 years and maintain a good service history, for a price recovery The dealership also provides services of their cars before re-auction.
90 cars that we receive from Japan come with a service history.
It all started for me when I went on my first trip to Japan You see, my father is a captain in the Soviet Navy during the periods of the Union, he worked in the Far East Shipping Company, the largest company maritime owned in Russia.
At that time, he was captain of the icebreaker ships nuclear powered cargo, which provided the Russian Arctic territory with the provisions and summer time they were carrying grain and metal in Canada, but after perestroika and the collapse of the iron curtain, there was more money in private shipping companies and my father became work on Vladivostok - line of the sea of Japan.
And that's when I went first to Japan and saw the land of opportunities out there at the start, it was mopeds and motorcycles that I brought and sell, then we moved to cars.
Our first car we imported the customer directly from Japan was Toyota Caldina customer we never new by his friend and lived 8000kms away from us in Moscow Delivery time was more than 2 months because the car had him make a freight train all the way by rail Siberian When he has the car, he was very happy, the car has exceeded his expectations and he has saved over 5 km USD and order more cars and his friends followed and This is how we started to import cars directly from Japan and I left all my commitments to my younger brother and came to New Zealand for my experience with foreign car first I bought here was Russian dealers and asked all the right questions of how the car business works in New Zealand Our first customer was a kiwi family form Auckland, Miss ion Bay They ordered Toyota Corolla and saved more than 4 KB.
