Fantastic experience buying my car online from Davey Japan! I didn’t visit the lot at all, everything was sorted remotely, and they fully organised transport all the way to Sydney for me.
Jonathan
Using an agent like Davey Japan is an absolute must as the auction pictures and cover sheets only tell you half the story. if you find a car you like they’ll have one of their guys inspect the car for you, start it up, look for things that are wrong, rust, engine lights, modifications, send you dozens more photos, etc.
Christopher
A very good experience with patience(!), thoroughness and timely action. Would definitely recommend. I dealt with Vipin, who went the extra mile by ordering and posting OEM Mud mats to me after the event.
Rory
