In brief:

• no full address, the postal code does not exist
• no names or execs mentioned on their website
• domain registered in September 2020
• their IP address points to the UK, unusual for a Japan-based company

Have you tried phoning them? They also have a Zendesk Chat on their website.

Those used car companies sprout like mushrooms - and disappear fast. Many are foreign-operated and export to Russia, the Middle East or Africa. The database of the National Tax Authority has no info on them, either.

Please let us know if you do learn more.

 

[Miakoni]

ok will do - thank you

Please can you confirm whether it is a legitimate company or not

Can you provide some more information about your transactions? What's your own company name? Did you export vehicles, and where?

In other words, why should we take your word for it, anonymous internet user who created an account to make this one reply?

Hi,
I never went through with the sale - I really cant say if they are legitimate - All the dealings with them seem so. But I couldn't get a confirmation that I wouldn't be stuck having sent the money and not receiving a delivery. So i dint go ahead with it.

If anyone has actually had dealing with them pls let me know as well

Thx
M

Thanks for the update! Perhaps our new friend above can provide some more information about how they're totally a legit customer and just logging in from the same area as the company's listed address by coincidence.

 

[thomas]

Sorry, off-topic, but this reminds me of the guy who had nothing but praise for what turned out to be his own online shop.

@Miakoni, thanks for your heads-up!

I didn't want to call it a duck, just that I heard quacking

I'm confident you did the right thing.

 

[Miakoni]

Seeing as though this thread has had some responses - Can I ask if anyone knows any car dealers/agents that export to Australia and that they have dealt with directly with in Japan that are legitimate? Thx in advance Mia

I recently wanted to do business with them but unfortunely they couldnt provide me with any substantial information.

I then contacted our embassy in Tokyo, Japan and they had this to say.

Dear Sir,

We have checked the website and the address.

First of all, the address does not exist.

The phone no. is a mobile phone, so it could be a briefcase company.

We could not find any listing of this company in the JUNVEA, Japan Used Motor Vehicle Exporters Association, an umbrella organization monitoring Exporters.

We’d advise you to find a reputable company that is registered from JUNVEA.

JUMVEA | Japan Used Motor Vehicle Exporters Association

The purpose of our Association is, with the cooperation of our members, to exchange information, establish order of fair trade in the used motor vehicle industry, and endeavor forward the sound development of the used motor export business.

Hope this answered your question.

Hi.

So var every thing went smoot? payment, communication etc?

 

[Zulu]

I also want someone who had a deal with them to show proof that they are legit

 

[jeetinshewdat]

I have spoken to them and I enjoy talking to them, they are patient and do not put any pressure and are cooperative. I just don't know if they are legit.
And i can't find them on jumvea.or.jp , i think this means it is a small company?

 

[quirky rides]

Don't send these people money. Don't deal with them.

They send details of cars taken from other traders' sites and quote much lower CIF prices than you might expect. When you ask for a video of the car running they say they can't provide it because the car is too far away.

This is a scam company.
