Germany Other in Japanese auction networks. We monitor ~180,000 cars weekly across USS, HAA Kobe, TAA, JU, BAYAUC and ARAI. Every Germany Other that surfaces there hits our desk before the bid: auction sheet, detail photos, repair history, inspector report.
Where it came from. Our only Germany Other came from Osaka. 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.
Year and price. Our auction history holds one Germany Other: model year 2001, start price 1.8M 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.
