Buy directly from Japan with the information to make a confident decision.
Browse live Japanese auctions, see historical pricing and estimated landed costs, or tell us what you're looking for and we'll source it for you.
Why buy from Japan?
Japanese auction sheets document vehicle condition, damage, mileage and inspection notes before you bid.
Access thousands of eligible vehicles across Japanese auctions rather than relying only on local stock.
For the right vehicle, importing can get you a better-condition or better-specified car for less than comparable Australian stock.
Why we built JMS
Buying from a Japanese auction shouldn't require knowing exporters, auction systems, freight companies and compliance workshops yourself.
We built Japan Motor Source to put the cars, pricing and information in front of Australian buyers — while giving them a real person to handle the difficult parts.
What we actually do
Based in Australia. Connected in Japan.
JMS is run by an Australian team, based in Australia, dealing directly with you under Australian business practices — not an overseas broker or a reseller working through layers of middlemen. You're speaking with the people accountable for your import, start to finish.
