GMC in our auction history. We monitor ~180,000 cars weekly across Japanese auction networks. GMC surfaces most often as: Yukon, Savana, Vandura, Siera and Safari. Every lot lands on our desk before the bid: auction sheet, detail photos, repair history, inspector report.
Where they surface. In our history GMC comes mostly from Tokyo, Nagoya & Hokuriku and Yokohama. 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 GMC records span 1989–2021. Start prices range 4k JPY to 4.9M 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.
