If you have done any amount of research into getting cars from Japan then you will surely have come across these two models.

There are the Japanese car exporters who have used cars in their yards ready for people to purchase. Then there are the other type of exporters that get vehicles straight from the Japanese car auctions. Obviously, there are exporters that have both stock cars and also buy from the auctions, but even these companies usually have their focus on one of these sources rather than the other.

So which is right for you? This is exactly what I am going to look at below.

By focusing on how the Japanese car auctions are different, I expect the difference between these two means of getting cars from Japan will become clear.

Before we go any further, let’s be clear precisely what we are talking about here. I am certainly not talking about a traditional auction where all the bidders are together in one room before an auctioneer with a gavel. However, these car auctions are similarly in no sense like the auction format popularized by online corporations such as eBay that can take days to run their course.

The car auctions in Japan are a unique blend of the speed of a traditional auction – accelerated further using modern technology – with the freedom from geographical constraints that the Internet provides.

Bidders could be present at the auction itself, or they may be far away in a completely different area of Japan. Also the bidding is incredibly fast, with each person bidding either making use of a joystick-type device or a PC mouse to place bids.

Cars are sold every few seconds – and a large auction such as USS Tokyo can have as many as 10 “lanes running at the same time in each of which bidders are bidding on multiple vehicles.

Now you are clear as to how these Japanese car auctions operate, let’s move right on to why you should be interested in getting together with a car exporter who will get your vehicles from them.

Assuming you have been paying attention at all, you should have gained some notion of the incredible scale and speed of these auctions. Remember cars are sold each day six days a week and these cars are being sold every few seconds throughout Japan.

So, as I am sure you have by now figured out, we are talking about 10.000s of used vehicles being sold daily.

So, what does this mean for you as the potential buyer? Well, it means a gigantic variety of options. Why is choice important? Well you get a number of benefits.

First, it means you are more likely to get your hands on the perfect car.

Even a car exporter with a large amount of stock may have just a thousand or so cars in stock. Of these, maybe 20 are the model you are looking for. But then try to narrow down further to a particular year, a certain mileage, or an individual color, and you will quickly find that it is almost impossible to find this precise car in this company’s stock. You are much more likely to find it in the auctions where the selection is bigger.

Something else about choice is that it gives you the chance to skim off the best cars at the lowest prices. This is especially valuable if you are buying in bulk.

Just think about it: Say you are after a used car particular year that has up to a certain number of  kilometers on the odometer. And we shall suppose that there are typically between 10 and 20 cars in the auctions each day that match these requirements. You also know, that cars of these specifications usually go for 345,000 Yen to 515,000 Yen.

So, what do you do? Simple: You bid on all these cars each day, but you keep your maximum bid at, say, 380,000 Yen. This is a low bid, but it will have a possibility of the occasional successful result.

It is sufficient for you that you get the lowest price ones that reach your specifications – and this is how the selection at the auctions can help you to achieve it.

Each day you may lodge ten to twenty bids and still end up with just one car bought. But, there lies the beauty of this method as every car you buy will be in the lowest 5 to 10% of the price range.

I have been reading and hearing allot lately about people who are saying that loud Motorcycle Pipes are a major problem in the world. These groups are trying to get those in Government to pass all sorts of new inspection laws for Motorcycle Pipes.

Seeing as Motorcycles make up such a small percentage of the Traffic on the road I would say this problem is very minimal at best. ( I wonder how many cars with bad mufflers are heard that many think are Motorcycles)

These people complain saying Motorcycle Riders like loud pipes because they are juvenile and want to show off and say Hey look at me and draw attention to themselves.

The reason many Bikers like loud pipes is not to say look at me, its to say look out for Me! Many Car drivers these days are talking on the phone, texting , putting on make up , eating , playing loud music , watching DVDs and just not paying attention to the road in front of them. If your in a car an you get hit ,You may get a dent in your car, We could Die! (Nothing enjoyable in life is completely safe)

These groups against loud pipes know gathering citizens together to complain is very easy , if they ask people while they are sitting around all summer long bored “Have you ever heard a Loud Motorcycle Go By?” they are going to say yes they Have!” These groups are then going to talk about how annoying these Motorcycles are and convince these bored people how much better their lives would be if these Motorcycles where gone! These bored people are going to jump right on board!

But now ask these same people when was the last time you heard a loud Motorcycle go by? They will probably hard pressed to find an answer! Was it Weeks ago? Months ago? was it Two years ago?

There are already laws on the books in every state that say a Motorcycles pipes can only be so loud! We do not need new laws on the books that most officers will do nothing about while others will abuse !

This Country spends too much time whining about things! Lets stop and think about Motorcycles. Motorcycles prevent traffic, They prevent wear and tear on the roads, They are great for saving Fuel. They are also a great relaxer, Those who Ride Motorcycles are a lot less stressed!

If people stopped complaining about Motorcycles and went and rode a Motorcycle they might not be so bored with their lives and they would have something better to do with their time!!!

Those who Ride enjoy Life a lot More, This is like therapy and religion all rolled up into one for us! Please do not bring the stress and problems of your dull boring lives into our world !

If you are that board and are looking for something to do with your life email me and I will help you find something better to do with your time. Maybe we can find something you can do that could actually help make the world a better place!!!
