How to buy
Four simple steps
Here is how buying a car works, in four simple steps.
- 1
Choose your car
Choose the car you like and get in touch with us first. *1, *2
If anything about a car in stock worries you, such as budget, condition, year or options, please ask before you buy.
We also take appointments to visit the store.
- 2
Prepare the documents
When you apply, please pay the initial costs *4 in cash, by bank transfer or by credit card.
We send you the documents needed for the contract *3 (or hand them to you at the store if you visit). The documents needed can differ with your situation and the car, and a car you are looking at may already be under negotiation, so please ask us for details.
Trade-ins, purchases and scrapping are also welcome. Please feel free to ask.
- 3
Contract
Choose the number of payments (12 to 48, and up to 60 for some cars). Our administration department then checks the documents.
- 4
Delivery
The workshop and the Land Transport Office carry out the pre-delivery inspection and the transfer of registration, and the warranty certificate is issued. *5 You can collect the car at the store *6, or we deliver it by transporter anywhere in Japan.
About guarantors
We ask for two guarantors. (Depending on the price of the car and the contract holder's circumstances, one guarantor may be enough.) In principle any adult can be a guarantor: a spouse, family member, sibling, relative, friend or colleague, including housewives and people without a job. If your case is different, please ask us first. Conditions may vary with the selling price of the car.

1. Copy of passport
2. Copy of My Number card or resident registry card
3. One photo of your face - Copy of health insurance card
- Certificate of residence showing your registered domicile (without My Number)
Documents needed from the joint guarantor

3. One photo of your face - Copy of health insurance card

About initial costs
Initial costs are paid at the time of the contract, in cash, by bank transfer or by credit card.
- Recycling fee: varies by car.
- Automobile tax (standard cars, prorated by month)
- Out-of-area registration fee: free or 18,000 yen
- Transport fee: varies with the distance from our store to your prefecture.
About the warranty
Every car we sell is inspected and serviced, and its exterior and interior are finished before delivery. A one-year free warranty is included. The warranty is provided through an outside company, and some cars are not covered.
About the delivery date
We tell you the planned delivery date after arranging it with the designated workshop, transporter and administrative scrivener. We may not always be able to match the date you wish for.
Before you sign
From the start of negotiations until delivery, we will call or email you to check details. If we cannot reach you for three days, we have to treat the deal as cancelled at the customer's convenience, as other customers are waiting.
We ask that you visit the store and see the car before signing. If you live too far away to visit, please read our website and check anything unclear before you sign. Please note that we cannot accept any complaints about the interior or exterior after delivery.
