Volumes of cars are Down in the auctions in Japan. People are pointing to the recent earthquake/tsunami disaster which of course must have had some effect, but this is the land that battled Gochira ! most services,roads etc were back up and running within an incredibly short time which is testament to the bravery and work ethic of the Japanese people.

The market has been affected by other reasons but mostly cars are not making the money for export markets , because of this dealers are holding back on sending cars to auction. The list above is just an example of what sold last week but a huge amount of cars that would be traditional U.K/Ireland stock are not even receiving bids.

As usual I only list cars people ask me about, If people let me know what they want highlighted then we can provide the Info.

A busy day at Hannaten Kobe on Saturday saw 7000 units going through the ring. Just going through the sales data now and will post a selection of sold prices in the morning.

Not a huge amount selling by all accounts sports and performance stuff a bit thin on the ground which is strange to see at Haa. Apparently some good value starting to appear in older European prestige and sports models we will keep an eye on this trend over the coming period anyway here is a snapshot of sold cars

Where have all the Imports gone ?

MD — Thu, 05 May 2011 13:19:45 +0000

Well it doesnt take a genius to realise that the strength of sterling against the Yen has put a kibosh on the majority of Imports, But there have been other factors too, We will be going into this at length in our imports section but we will also be keeping an eye on prices in Japan to let you know what cars are on the cusp of being importable again. we will also have a look at current shipping options and how to save money on your testing costs. Your Input is appreciated as I will only look at cars that people are asking me about although s usual,within reasons I will attemp to answer all questions
