I recommend JPC Trade because(www.jpctrade.com), not only bid directly from the auctions, but you are guaranteed timely shipping and quality (they translate the auction sheets) and make sure the car is in good condition. Very reliable.

Very reliable. Do they (jpctrade) have units in stock ready for shipping or you have to bid? The opposite of courage is not cowardice, it's conformity.

You can also check on our website, register then I can call you. Thank you.

They are good in terms of quality and service. They could be expensive though. You could try alainjapan.com, papera.com... The opposite of courage is not cowardice, it's conformity.

I recommend www.jpctrade.com. They are different from japan-trade. Very reliable transactions and services. Thank you. bartum wrote:jerry wrote:bartum wrote:stellak is (www.jpctrade.com), same as www. japan-partner.com No. which do you prefer and trusted, and you once used

Successfully purchased my first car through tradecarview. The car arrived after three weeks but the BL only had my first name on it so i had to get an affidavit from the lawyer and contact the shipper to request a manifest corrector because the cfs never releases the car if the BL has only one name. Luckily i had used paytrade and had 20 days free storage so i never paid any storage as i managed to remove the car just the last day before the grace period expired. Personally I would recommend tradecarview because of the possibility to publicly rate and review sellers so they will always try hard not to get a negative review.

I am somehow associated with SBT. I know the problems most of you guys experienced here.
Just some example - when you got to the market and buy an apple which ends up being bad - does it mean the apple tree is bad? NO. Does it mean the market is bad? NO. It means one thing - sales manager was not honest with you by disclosing the condition of the apple.
It happens with SBT in certain markets. Some markets they export to, like Russia and New Zealand has the greatest service out of all. The reason? Sales people are located mostly in Japan.
As of Kenya, very few sales people are located in Japan, the others are in Pakistan about 100-150 people (that is why they have mentioned muslim holidays above, which is so funny). Only sales people in Japan can help you get the car from the auctions in the easiest way as all of them read Japanese unlike people in other office.
So if you want to deal with the company in a best way I would recommend you to check if the sales people are really in Japan. How to check it: Skype video call, ask to show around, ask for mobile phone and give a short call, etc.
SBT has the best condition cars on the market. The best auction rates. For big dealers it is the way to go.
P.S. I can refer you to the sales manager in Japan whom I dealt with for several years and met personally in Yokohama, if you want to.
P.s. I am not saying managers in Pakistan are all bad, but likelihood of getting not reliable one is very high.
P.s. Tradecarview is for those who like paying high prices and doesn't want to cut intermediate. The best way is to do business directly with the company and deal with one Sales Manager all the time.
