Japan Motor Source
A better way to buy from Japan.
Japan Motor Source was built to make sourcing a vehicle from Japan more transparent, informed and accessible for Australian buyers.
Japanese auctions offer access to thousands of vehicles every week — but for most Australian buyers, the process can feel difficult to navigate. Auction sheets, historical pricing, bidding, shipping, compliance and landed costs are often spread across different people and systems.
We bring that journey together.
See the market. Understand the cost. Have us handle the process.
With Japan Motor Source, you can browse live Japanese auction vehicles, explore historical auction data and estimate what a vehicle could cost landed in Australia before deciding to proceed.
If you already know what you're looking for, you can browse and shortlist vehicles yourself.
If you'd rather not search through thousands of auction lots, tell us what you want and our team can search for suitable vehicles on your behalf.
Either way, when you're ready to buy, we guide the process from sourcing and auction bidding through to shipping, import coordination and the steps required to get the vehicle ready for Australian roads.
Why we built Japan Motor Source
Buying directly from Japan shouldn't require you to understand the entire Japanese auction and import system yourself.
We wanted to combine the access and information normally available within the industry with a straightforward service for Australian buyers.
That means giving you access to the cars, the data behind them and clearer estimates of the costs involved — while still having a real person there when you need help.
Built for Australian buyers
Japan Motor Source is Australian-owned and operated.
We work with specialist third parties across Japan and Australia for services such as vehicle inspections, transport, freight, customs and compliance where required.
Our role is to help you find the right vehicle, make an informed buying decision and coordinate the journey from Japan to Australia.
