What to check before bidding

Trim and engine. Gran Turismo and turbo cars are the ones people want. Confirm from the documents.
Rust. Underbody, sills and wheel arches. Andre won't buy a corroded car unless you say it doesn't matter.
Suspension and electronics. Many top trims came with complex suspension and lots of electronics. Make sure it all works.

How Andre buys your sedan

Inspected in person in Japan before any bid. Andre's exporter checks the car himself, looking for rust and the things an auction inspector skips. It's included with your deposit. Many importers buy off the auction sheet alone.
No rust. Ever. Andre walks away from any sign of corrosion, even on a high-grade car, unless you tell him it doesn't matter to you.
Refundable deposit. It goes toward your car if he wins it, and comes back if he doesn't or if you change your mind before bidding.
Honest about age. Every car is 25+ years old and sold as-is with no warranty, same as the contract says. Anything Andre finds, you hear about right away.

Questions buyers ask

What's the difference between the Cedric and the Gloria?

They're the same car sold through different Nissan dealer networks, with small styling differences. Search for both to get more choice.

Can I import a Nissan Cima?

Yes, once the specific car is 25 years old from its build month. Every Y32 qualifies, and Y33s qualify by build month.

Are these cars reliable?

They're solid sedans, but every car is 25+ years old. Expect age-related parts like hoses and bushings, and buy on condition.

Do you have one in stock?

We source to order. Tell us the model, trim and budget and Andre will search Japan for it.
