Supply of Used Cars

Supply of Used Cars

Used car exporters, sometimes referred to as export agents, have a number of sources at their disposal. Japanese used cars are mainly sold inJapan at auto auctions by car owners and dealers. At auto auctions, owners are hidden from bidders while the auctioneers provide independent car evaluations (called Inspection Sheets) and place for sellers and buyers to meet. Although auto auctions are primarily for Japanese residents seeking an alternative from buying at dealerships, many exporters, acting as a bidding agent for the importer, use this as their main supply. There are over 30 major (over 200 total) auto auction groups operating throughout Japan including JAA, JU Group, TAA, USS, and ZIP.
Besides auto auctions, Japanese exports have access to two other supplies. One being dealerships which are more expensive to purchase from, and second being private sellers which can prove difficult to use.

Japanese used vehicle exporting

Japanese used vehicle exporting is a large component of international trade, which involves the export of used cars and vehicles from theJapanese domestic market (JDM), to numerous markets around the world. Despite the high cost of transport, the sale of used cars and other vehicles to other countries is still profitable, due to the relatively low cost and good condition of the vehicles being purchased. Contributing factors to the viability of the vehicles for export, include: strict motor-vehicle inspections, high depreciation, which make such vehicles, after six years, worth very little and strict environmental laws, that make vehicle disposal very expensive. Consequently, used car exporting has increased to over to 1,136,000 units in 2006. The most popular destinations for used JDM cars are: RussiaNew ZealandUnited KingdomAustraliaIrelandPakistan,PeruBoliviaParaguayKenya, and the Philippines. Additionally, ChileSingaporeSouth Africa and the United Arab Emirates are used as popular transit hubs.

Negotiating a Used Car

When you go to the car lot, in most cases, you subconsciously prepare yourself to get ready for whatever the salesman is going to tell you in order for him to get the deal that he is looking for that will help him or her maximize on their commission. Even though you prepare your mind in a defensive mode, you still lack the negotiation skills that will get you the best deal that you want. I will help you with the necessary skills in order for you to get the best deal possible and drive the car off the lot.
One thing that I might want to mention to you is that you will need to do your homework on the car that you are looking to buy. If you are buying a used car, then you will need to go to sites such as autotrader.com and other car sites that will get you information on the prior owner of the car as well as important information that you can match with the seller so that you can compare apples to apples. Once you do this, you will want to take that information on the lot as your basis for negotiation.
Allow the salesman to guide you through the sales process on the lot. Wait until you are inside the show room before you show him the information about the car you are trying to buy. Don't present the information first. Wait until him or shows you their information first. Once they are finished with their presentation, ask for their information and compare it with your info.
This is the best way to prepare for purchasing a used vehicle. It's never good enough for you to go out there empty handed and reacting to them emotionally. You will need to gain as much control over the situation as possible. If you want more details and tools, visit my blog http://negotiateyourwayout.blogspot.com/
