Comprehensive Guide!!!

Wow, this audiobook goes over everything you need to know about buying and importing a car from Japan. the author clearly has done this numerous times and walks you through the entire process and shares with you a personal story so you can learn from their mistake. Prior to listening to this audiobook I had no idea that Japan required a strict renewal and inspection on cars after three years, thereby making it very beneficial to buy a used car from Japan after it was three years old. I also did not know or understand about their rating system for used cars, both the interior rear and the exterior. This book was an eye-opener.

Very useful if you want to buy and import cars

I was hoping to start buying some older Mitsubishi classics from Japan and selling them where I live. I was so happy when I found this audible. It takes you through all the stages in a clear and concise way and has helped me start shipping over my first Mitsubishi to start my business. Highly recommended.

Everything you need to know

Alex Masuda does an amazing job of describing everything you need to know, from why there is a huge market for used cars that are sold for really cheap in Japan. It was eye-opening to learn how many people in Japan opt to buy new cars instead of keeping their old vehicles, which makes for an excellent opportunity for car buyers around the world. I had never considered importing a vehicle from Japan, but now that I know the process, it is something that I am going to look more into.

The narrator was also fantastic and made listening to this audiobook a true pleasure. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in owning their dream 4x4 camper van, sports car, turbo diesel, or even flipping for a profit.

A perfect walkthrough for getting your own JDM!

The author took a mysterious, unattainable, abstract concept (for me) and broke it down into super easy steps that anybody can take. Who knew it was so easy? And oh man, if you peruse any of these japanese auction websites, just be prepared to wipe the drool from your chin.
I'm totally doing this and my ride is going to turn heads! I can't wait!
