What goes down when you pay some dude in Japan to bid for your JDM ride?
VIDEO
Quite an interesting low-down view of how the car auction goes down in Japan.

With that thread title, I was expecting some scandalous story about some japanese Anthony Espinosa using someone elses money for his own pleasure.

if you lived in japan and got a broker to buy you one vs. buying one from a dealer, you'd probably save a bit...
but these kinds of cars generally cost a lot more there compared to north america.... so you would pay more than save if you wanted to importe one here (especially with the high taxes).

LOL are you suggesting that they don't have mountains in Japan?
These cars are fine if you don't get smacked into by SUVs and 18 wheeled trucks, otherwise it's QQ.

sucks for us because we won't be able to register 90% of those cars on our roads.

no they landed in Osaka and went to the car auction in Kobe if you read the little words on the auction sheets.
It's like landing at YVR and driving out to Surrey for a car auction kind of deal...
They also went to Tokyo in the short because in another episode they had Tokyo Auto Salon coverage.
And for those who are intrigued by the prices of cars in Japan I like to look at used car prices in Japan using this website:
http://www.goo-net.com/index.html
of course it'd only do you good if you know what models you are looking for.
