When the Japanese Yen went up, many people said:
โWait first. Buy later when the Yen drops.โ
Now the Yen has started pulling back from its recent highโฆ
So are you still going to wait?
Recently, the Japanese Yen experienced a sharp increase. Many customers who were originally planning to Direct Import immediately thought:
โExchange rate is high now. Better wait a bit.โ
Thereโs nothing wrong with thinking that way.
But thereโs one very important reality:
๐ Nobody can accurately buy at the absolute lowest exchange rate.
After the recent sharp rise, the Yen has now started to pull back.
If you keep thinking:
โWait for it to drop a bit moreโฆโ
โWait until it goes back to the previous rateโฆโ
โIโll only buy when it reaches the lowest pointโฆโ
By the time the exchange rate finally looks attractive, the car you wanted โ the right year, colour, spec, mileage and condition โ may already be SOLD.
Because when buying through Direct Import, exchange rate is only one part of the equation.
What you should really look at is:
โ
Is the Yen currently at a relatively reasonable level?
โ
Are there good cars appearing in Japan Auction?
โ
Is the condition, Auction Grade and mileage worth buying?
โ
Does the final landed price fit your budget?
Especially when it comes to good Japanese auction unitsโฆ
Nice cars donโt appear every single day.
Imagine today you find one with:
โ
Low mileage
โ
Beautiful Auction Grade
โ
Your preferred colour
โ
The exact Spec you want
โ
Reasonable price
But you say:
โLet me wait for the Yen to drop first.โ
A few days later you check the auction againโฆ
Sorry โ the car is already SOLD. ๐
Thatโs why, now that the Yen has started pulling back from its recent high, it may actually be a good time for serious buyers to start looking at Japan Auction again.
๐ฏ๐ต The biggest advantage of Direct Import is CHOICE.
Instead of buying whatever stock a dealer happens to have, you can search according to your own requirements:
โ๏ธ Budget
โ๏ธ Year
โ๏ธ Spec
โ๏ธ Colour
โ๏ธ Mileage
โ๏ธ Auction Grade
โ๏ธ Condition
And find a car that genuinely suits you.
The entire process can also be transparent:

When buying a car, the biggest problem usually isnโt paying slightly more because of the exchange rate.
The bigger regret isโฆ
Waiting for an exchange rate that nobody knows will happen โ and missing a genuinely good car.
๐ Yen has started pulling back from its recent high
๐ด Exchange rate is becoming more attractive compared with the peak
๐ When the right car appears, itโs worth seriously considering
One simple sentence:
Nobody knows where the lowest exchange rate will be โ but a good car can definitely be bought by someone else.
If youโre currently considering a:
Toyota Alphard
Toyota Vellfire
Toyota Harrier
Lexus
Honda Civic Type R
Toyota GR86
Subaru BRZ
Toyota Supra
or any other Japanese importโฆ
Now is a good time to start checking whatโs available in Japan Auction again. ๐ฏ๐ต
