Audi in our auction history. We monitor ~180,000 cars weekly across Japanese auction networks. Audi surfaces most often as: R8, TTS Coupe, RS6 Avant, RS5 and S5. Every lot lands on our desk before the bid: auction sheet, detail photos, repair history, inspector report.
Where they surface. In our history Audi comes mostly from Tokyo, Yokohama and JAA. That matters because every network runs its own beat: USS Tokyo closes Thursdays, HAA Kobe Tuesdays, TAA Yokohama Fridays. We know when to bid and when to walk.
Years and prices. Our Audi records span 1986–2024. Start prices range 10k JPY to 11M JPY (hammer typically lands 1.3–2× the start). On top of that: RoRo shipping (€1,200–1,800), 10% customs, 3.1% or 18.6% excise (engine-dependent), 23% VAT. Full landed-cost calculator sits on the homepage.
Why Japan, not Germany. Shaken inspections every two years filter out rusty examples, and the odometer reading is recorded at each inspection, so rolling it back leaves a trace. From the German market you end up with the same cars that have circled there for five years, with the odometer rolled back twice.
