Why Thousands of Recon Car Buyers Are Skipping The Car Dealership To Directly Import Their Car !
Thousands of buyers are now skipping the dealership and are directly importing their recon cars from Japan or the UK! This new trend has picked up since the end of the pandemic. With the help of professionals you can now import your own favorite vehicles such as Porsche 911, Macan, Cayenne, Lamborghini, Mercedes, Ferrari, Lexus, Toyota Harrier, Suzuki, Mazda RZ7 and the list goes on . These cars must be at least 1 year old and lower than 5 years old.
Ridzuan almost bought a car from a dealership, when he realized he could directly import the car for much less, he skipped the dealership and imported the car directly from professional car importers. He wanted to buy an RX 300 with a sunroof and full spec. He could not get much for his rm250k budget. The cars were either in bad condition or had a high mileage like 60k km to 90k km on it and did not meet his specification like white leather seat, full with apple car play. He found one on the Japanese Auction Website with just 19k mileage on it, it had an apple car play, sun roof and came with full spec. The car was also graded 5A, mint condition according to Japanese Grading. He also obtained a pre-approved loan first before arranging for the import. On the day he took the car he was so elated and happy that he made the right decision.
Ridzuan who recently imported his car, listed the following challenges he faced when he was looking to buy a recon car

Comparison of Traditional Dealership Buying vs. Direct Car Import
1 . Save Time, Time is Valuable.
Traditionally when you buy your recon car, you look at “car for sale” listings on prominent websites. Then you look at the price, year, model, specs and fittings that suits your requirement. You will choose the best value by looking at price and model. Here is when you will encounter multiple issues.
The individual agents who list cars on these websites compete with each other for the same eye balls even from their own dealerships. They spend a lot of advertising dollars just to stay on top of the listing page to grab buyers attention. The more other agents advertise the more money they have to spend to compete for attention and stay on top. They lose money when they can’t draw attention.
So agents use various tricks such as tagging higher models with lower price tags to entice customers to call. When customers see a good deal they will call only to find out later that it’s not available or they have not read the ad properly or some pertinent details about the car have been left out.
So as a buyer you waste a lot of time looking for cars until you are tired and just want to make a quick decision and get one immediately. You may want to make a fast decision when you see one that’s close enough, because you realize time is money!

2. Avoid Unscrupulous Mark Ups
Recon Dealers buy their cars from the various Japan Auction sites or from the UK and ship it here. Once the car arrives, they have to keep the car in their venue until it’s sold.
They have to cost in multiple expenses to pay the salesman, infrastructure, electricity, insurance etc. Since they buy and stock the cars,they have to mark up the cars to make a profit. Customers will never know what MarkUp is. Whereas when you directly import your recon car, you will know exactly what costs are included such as shipping cost, insurance, customs duty, taxes etc. Good business sense is to know the actual cost of what you are paying for.
2. Which dream car do you have in mind ?
The car images now lead to my drive when you click on the image. That will be removed right . Later ( second phase) when i redo the webpage with you i want to improve this part with more info.
3. Transparency
What if you can buy the car directly from the Japan auction site and get the car for the same price as the dealers? You would be definitely interested wouldn’t you, because now you don’t have to scratch your head for the right value of the car and you can get the car for the same price shown on the auction site. When you import your car, you will know exactly the purchase price in Japan.
4. Peace of Mind Knowing The Right Taxes & Duties have been Paid
When you bought your recon car did you pay the right customs duty and taxes on your car. If not, the next time you resell your car as the owner you have to pay the taxes which you have underpaid. If you directly import your car, you can save the trouble by paying the invoiced duties and taxes according to your car model.
5. Super Wide Selection of Specs & Models
Buyers have a super wide choice of cars & specs to choose from body to seat colours and all types of variations. No dealers can carry that many stocks !

have to pay any deposit until your loan is approved.

I tell my students that if the product and services they sell are good , then they don’t have to sell, it will sell by itself. The role of the salesperson is to get the attention of the client and show the benefit of the service or product and how it solves the clients concerns or problem.
