WHY BUY WITH US

We remove the risk.

Digital Evaluation Process

For our guests who are buying sight unseen, we provide a free digital evaluation for cosmetic condition. Our goal is to ensure there are no surprises upon the arrival of your new vehicle. We will have one of our in-house vehicle evaluators review each panel in detail with you over the phone and follow up with an additional 50-100 high-resolution photographs of each imperfection discussed. Most of our sight unseen buyers find this process much more in-depth than they had imagined! Of course, you are also welcome to hire a professional inspection service to perform a pre-purchase inspection as well.

Industry Leading Mechanical Reconditioning

We go above and beyond when it comes to mechanical reconditioning! Our trained and experienced service technicians have years of experience working on imports. Our comprehensive inspection ensures every vehicle we sell has been gone over thoroughly.

We replace all necessary safety items if needed such as tires, brakes, suspension components, etc. Additionally, we go the extra mile with timing belt inspections, cooling system inspections, etc., and replace or repair these items as necessary.

World-class 41k sqft reconditioning facility

Our focus is properly reconditioning the vehicles we sell, and we put our money where our mouth is. We have one of the largest vehicle reconditioning facilities of any used auto dealer in the United States. This ensures we can properly repair each vehicle we sell and give our customers a terrific post-sale experience.

OUR DEPENDABILITY PROCESS

Educated Non-Commission Sales Staff

Our belief is that our sales staff should act as a consultant. We accomplish this by having a non-commissioned based sales staff. Our sales team is motivated to get you in the right vehicle by design. You’ll never experience a pushy sales member, and if we don’t think the vehicle will suit your needs, we will let you know!

Additionally, every member of our sales team is an enthusiast, has owned and driven many of the models we sell, and drives every model we sell regularly. Their wealth of knowledge and ownership experience will help you make the right decision when buying your Japanese Classic!

We call shotgun.

Your customer experience doesn’t stop at the sale. We want your ownership experience to be great for the life of your ownership! As a customer, you’ll have access to our extensive database of interchangeable parts. If a part is unavailable in the US, we can even show you how and where to source the part from Japan! Our friendly post-sale support staff will ensure you get the information you need to keep your car on the road for the long haul. Just give us a call.

Quality vehicles for every price point

We have always loved having a diverse inventory, and we have quality vehicles for pretty much any budget, starting around $9,000 up to $80,000. However, you might be surprised to know that our average sales price is about $18,000.

Painless Shipping

Buying sight unseen? About 40% of our customers do! You might be surprised how inexpensive shipping to your door can be when it’s not marked up! We will handle the logistics of finding a shipper, and you will pay them directly upon delivery.

Once the delivery is scheduled, we will let you know when your vehicle has been picked up and the estimated arrival. The shipper will reach out and schedule an exact delivery date/time once they have picked your vehicle up.

Seamless paperwork process

Our streamlined paperwork process makes your purchase quick and hassle-free. No one likes sitting around a dealership for hours waiting to complete paperwork, and at Japanese Classics, you won’t have to!

For our guests coming in person to our dealership, we will have all of your paperwork prepared ahead of your scheduled arrival, so all we need from you are a few signatures. For our guests having their vehicle shipped, all of our paperwork is sent via secure online DocuSign, which can be completed in a matter of minutes.

Purchasing Process

Buying a car online with Paul and having it shipped to FL was easier than walking into my local dealership and playing games with the sales reps. I reached out and got connected with Paul on a Monday morning about a Toyota Aristo and went through the process. He answered every question, every phone call, and every text message instantly. It really gave peace of mind about buying a 25-yr-old car sight unseen. Had a phone call with Steve who went over every single imperfection on the car to let you know what you’re getting into and what you can’t see from the pictures on the website. He sent close-up photos of the imperfections and anything else you asked for. By Friday morning the car was delivered to my front door. Paul was able to assist during the registration process here in FL and I couldn’t have been happier! I will definitely be buying another car from them in the future.

Had a great experience start to finish. They had no problem answering all 1 million questions I had, even after purchase! They helped me with everything and anything I was worried about, and made me feel much safer than if I’d tried to import the car myself. Drove the car all the way from their lot in VA to sunny AZ with no issues. Great first experience with an import! Will definitely be buying from them in the future!

Overall, I would recommend Japanese Classics to anyone looking to source a beautiful, unique car. They walk you through the process to make sure you feel comfortable, knowledgeable and empowered in every decision along the way. I trust them wholeheartedly and am so thankful I was able to come across such a respectable company.

Thank you Japanese Classics!
