O-Bon Holidays

August 7, 2020 By //  by Mark Cathcart Leave a Comment

O-Bon Holiday Period

Dear Customers,

From August 10th until August 16th there is a holiday period in Japan known as O-Bon. Most auctions and shipping companies will be closed during this period.

Get Cars Japan will be staffed by a skeleton crew and we’ll be able to respond to urgent matters.

Please note that some auction listings from August 10th to 15th may not be correct and in such cases will most likely appear the following week.

Although a few scattered auctions will operate from the 12th, most auctions will be back to full operation from August 17th.

We will do our best to keep up our fanatical customer support during the holiday period and would highly appreciate your understanding if there are delays in our response time.

Best wishes,

The Get Cars Team

COVID Auction Prices

July 29, 2020 By //  by Mark Cathcart Leave a Comment

There have been some odd trends recently in the Japanese vehicle auctions that have led our customers to wonder why prices are going up and down. Here are some thoughts on the fluctuations and what we might expect in the coming months:

We believe there are a few factors:

  1.  There was a period of lower prices when COVID-19 first hit due to importers in many countries halting business while watching to see what would happen.
  2.  The people that didn’t buy during that period may now be increasing demand because they saw the low prices and are also now urgently in need of stock. 
  3.  People in many countries are buying vehicles for commuting to avoid public transport (also affecting an increased demand).
  4.  Various fluctuations of currency (not necessarily JPY against US dollar or Euro, but also other currencies).
  5.  Perhaps less vehicles available (so supply low) due to the recent cheap prices (reluctance to sell during a low) and other factors (e.g. maybe less Japanese are selling their cars or buying new cars due to economical effects of COVID).

There are also holidays coming up in Japan, which usually sees a lower of number of vehicles. However we are still a few weeks away from that so it would be unusual to be seeing this effect this early).

Our team at Get Cars Japan hope for all of our customers that the seemingly higher price period recently witnessed is winding down and things will normalize in August.

Auctions and COVID-19

May 16, 2020 By //  by Mark Cathcart Leave a Comment

We trust you are all staying safe in this uncertain time. If you do not already take Vitamin D, please do so (unless you get plenty of sun).

The auctions have taken measures including social distancing, and requesting members bid from home whenever possible. They have also emphasized that auction entry to inspect vehicles should be limited, that masks are worn, and there are hand sanitizers readily available.

Unfortunately a few auctions have also included not allowing members in to inspect vehicles, but the good news is this policy is expected to end My 39th.

This photo was taken by Doug today who checked out several vehicles which helped one customer buy the right car, and another avoid the wrong car.

Please take care to keep your health up, continue social distancing after lockdowns are over, and we wish you and your families all the best of health.

New Exciting Laws for Australians

October 2, 2019 By //  by Mark Cathcart Leave a Comment

New laws for concessional imports

New legislation will this year change which vehicles can be imported into Australia.

When the Road Vehicle Standards Act 2018 is introduced later this year it will drastically change what vehicles can be imported into Australia by non-mainstream importers.

A 12-month transition period will allow vehicles to be imported both under the new standards or the outgoing legislation, which dates back to 1989.

After 12 months has expired, sometime in 2019 (it depends on when the new rules come in this year), only the new regulations will apply.
