| Question:
Why are vehicles from Japan sold cheaper than vehicles in my
own country? |
Answer:We
mainly sell vehicles that are domestic to the Japanese market
(ie. made in Japan). The vehicles are not marked up as they
would be if they were sold as imports in your country. Therefore,
the prices appear to be cheaper especially if they are used
or damaged vehicles compared to your own country. Even after
shipping and registration payments, the vehicles are still considerably
cheaper.
Miki-Seiki acts as a broker between private owners in Japan and overseas customers who are interested in buying those case.
This is an advantage to our customers because of the reduced costs as well as receiving information such as service and repair records, current condition and so forth. |

be given to notify if the bid was accepted. If accepted, we
will send an invoice (via email or fax) that will include the
sale price of the vehicle and the shipping charges. You will
be required to make a full (100%) payment of the vehicle prior
to shipment. Once you receive the vehicle you will have to register
the vehicle in your country and take the necessary steps to
meet vehicle regulations in your respective country. |
| Question:How

Japan and your country. |

the car in Japan. Then you, the buyer would have to register
the vehicle in your country. |

subject to the Single Vehicle Approval Test (GBP135 / Aug. 98).

It should be noted that damaged vehicles are sold at greatly
reduced prices. |
| Question:
Is the steering wheel located on the left-side or right-side
of the vehicle? |
| Answer:
Since the cars are originally for the Japanese market,
the steering wheel is located on the right-hand side of the
vehicle. Japanese manufacturer models are only RHD (Right Hand
Drive) that is available to the Japan market. But there are
some imported LHD vehicles as well. |
