How JDMBUYSELL ranks the JDM dealer directory

JDMBUYSELL's dealer directory ranks 161 verified JDM importers and dealers worldwide using a composite score weighted across four signals: reply rate to buyer messages (35%), reply time (20%), customer rating from Google Business Profile reviews (30%), and active listing count (15%). The scoring code lives at lib/dealers/score.ts in this repository. Dealers with at least one active listing always rank above zero-listing dealers regardless of composite score; within each tier the directory sorts by composite score, then by listing count, then by rating. The country filters at /dealers/?country=<slug> apply the same ranking within each country. Reply-rate and reply-time signals are computed from buyer conversations on JDMBUYSELL over the trailing 180 days. Last directory refresh: .

About this directory

Dealer entries are drawn from registered dealer accounts on JDMBUYSELL; listing counts are derived from current listing data. Presence here reflects that an account is registered as a JDM importer or dealer; it does not constitute endorsement or verification of the dealer's business practices, licensing status, or compliance with local import regulations.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a verified JDM dealer on JDMBUYSELL?
A verified JDM dealer is a business that has completed JDMBUYSELL's identity verification — business registration, physical address confirmation, and contact verification. Verified dealers appear with a verification badge on their listings and on the /dealers/ directory.
How do I find a JDM dealer near me?
Use the country filter at the top of /dealers/ to narrow the directory by country. Each dealer card shows location, number of active listings, average reply time, and reply rate based on recent buyer conversations. The default sort weighs reply rate and recent activity.
What does the reply rate on each dealer card mean?
Reply rate is the percentage of buyer messages a dealer has responded to within the last 180 days, computed from messages exchanged through JDMBUYSELL's platform. A dealer showing a low reply rate has been measured at that level over recent conversations — it reflects actual responsiveness, not missing data.
Are all JDM dealers in the world listed here?
Only dealers that have signed up and completed verification appear in the directory. Coverage is broadest in the United States, Canada, Japan, and the United Kingdom. If you know a JDM dealer not yet listed, you can suggest them via the support center.
How does JDMBUYSELL rank JDM dealers?
The directory ranks dealers by a composite score across four signals: reply rate to buyer messages (35%), reply time (20%), customer rating from Google Business Profile reviews (30%), and active listing count (15%). Dealers with at least one active listing always rank above dealers with zero active listings, regardless of composite score. Reply-rate and reply-time signals are computed from buyer conversations on the JDMBUYSELL platform over the trailing 180 days; the customer-rating signal is the dealer's Google review score and review count where available. The same ranking applies inside each country filter.
What is the difference between a JDM importer, JDM exporter, and JDM dealer?
A JDM exporter is a business located in Japan that sources vehicles from Japanese auctions or private sellers and ships them abroad. A JDM importer is a business in the destination country (USA, Canada, UK, Australia, etc.) that receives those vehicles, handles customs and compliance, and resells them. A JDM dealer is a generic term that covers either role, and is the term used on JDMBUYSELL because many businesses do both — they import from Japan and sell to retail buyers in their home country. The directory at /dealers/ lists all three categories.
What should I check before buying from a JDM dealer?
Verify the dealer's business registration in their home jurisdiction, confirm a physical address (not a PO box), request inspection photos and an auction sheet for the specific vehicle, ask about import compliance (25-year rule for the USA; IVA / SVA for the UK; RAWS / equivalent for Australia), and request references from prior buyers. JDMBUYSELL's verification process covers identity and address; it does not endorse a dealer's business practices, and JDMBUYSELL is a marketplace aggregator rather than a transaction agent.
