Smart buyer checklist

Treat this as two groups. Required items protect you from payment loss and fraud — if a seller resists any of them, walk away. Ideal items help you assess the car's condition; when one is missing, factor it into your risk and your offer rather than treating it as automatic fraud.

Requiredfraud and payment-loss prevention

  • Confirm title status. Clean, salvage, rebuilt, or no title — and the title's jurisdiction — should be clear before you wire.
  • Confirm the car is importable to your location. That's your homework, not the seller's; if the import path is unclear, step back and verify before paying.
  • Read the bill of sale before you wire. "As-is" with no warranty is normal; anything that removes inspection or payment protections is a red flag.
  • Use a third-party escrow service; never wire to a personal account. For dealer sales, a wire to the business account named on the invoice is normal; for private-party sales, use escrow.

Idealvehicle-condition diligence; factor missing items into risk and price

  • Ask for the export certificate. If the car was exported from Japan recently, the deregistration document can help confirm provenance and timing.If unavailable: certificates for older imports are often filed away, so absence is a risk signal, not automatic fraud.
  • Ask for underbody, engine bay, and rear-quarter photos. Those areas reveal rust and repair work that hero shots can hide.If unavailable: the car may still be in transit or storage; review existing media and ask for fresh shots once it's accessible.
  • Consider a third-party pre-purchase inspection (PPI). A specialist inspection can catch issues that change the price.If unavailable: a PPI is often not feasible while the car is still overseas, so price the added uncertainty instead of treating it as proof of fraud.

NO RUST, Everything Works, Runs Great!! AFTERMARKET Aftermarket wheels **UPDATE** now has original wheels Aftermarket steering wheel **UPDATE** now has original steering wheel IMPERFECTIONS ON THIS VEHICLE Missing windshield wiper fluid cap **UPDATE** New cap installed Rip on the driver front seat ABOUT THIS VEHICLE These supercharged vans with sunroof, AWD and AC are rare to find and very desirable!!! We typically sell higher mileage 5speed supercharged subaru vans with sunroofs for 15k and 16k price range, this one has super low miles and swivel front seats that spin backwards!! Similar vans like these, in this condition with this low mileage typically sell at collector car auction for $19k to $22k. ***UPDATE*** This van now has factory wheels with OEM hubcaps in brand new condition. Aftermarket steering wheel removed and replaced with factory original steering wheel. Washer fluid dash cover was missing, but now we installed a new one. The radio is still missing but we can replace with original OEM radio from japan which is not that nice, or we can install a new modern touch screen radio with bluetooth and modern features for extra money. Will leave that option up to the new owner whenever someone comes to buy the vehicle. Will install OEM radio for no extra money, or will put a nice aftermarket double din touch screen with all the bells and whistles for extra money. There is no right or wrong way to go. Some people want all 100% original, some people want some minor updated features. FINANCING Traditional banks typically will not allow financing for any vehicle older than 10 years old. For this reason most banks will not do auto loan for a JDM car. PLUS the fact that JDM cars vin number are NOT 17digits which makes banks nervous! We recommend using a collector car financing company like one of the three mentioned below. To be approved you will need to have proof of employment for at least 6 months, have good credit history (helps if you financed a car before). You will need at least 680 credit score and at least 15% down payment. STANDARD FEATURES INCLUDE Heat, fan, defroster, manual roll up windows, windshield wipers, horn, hi-low beam headlights, tail lights, turn signals, 5speed manual transmission, bed with fold down sides, OPTIONAL ADD-ON's Upgrades that we can install for you!!
