Just as the topic says, i paid a visit to USS auctions out in Saitama (North of Tokyo). Getting there was quite a feat in it self as i don't have a car in Japan, but it was well worth it. From central Tokyo the ride is roughly an hour or hour and a half and does require some changing of trains, but as the pics show, its definitely a sight to see! I have to thank my mate Ibrahim for getting me out there as you're not allowed in unless you have a buyers pass I.D. or you're with someone who has one. So enough talk and let the pics do the talking!

We begin, and straight into the foreign big boys... On display in this little section were about 5/6 ferraris, a brand new V12 Benz and a Bentley Coupe...

Pardon my ignorance, but how does this USS Auctions deal work exactly?

Is this an "auto-dealer only" type thing where cars are bought and sold at wholesale prices or can the general public get involved too?

Those Datsun Fairlady Z's are calling my name!

So, if I understand correctly, you pay a fee to be able to buy cars and then you're allowed to purchase, correct?

What's the membership cost roughly and are any of these cars worth a piss or have they been thrashed about or are theft recoveries?

Thanks

that website that was posted aka Japan Auto Direct looks to be like a middle man or agent for those vehicles which are available from USS auctions.. Not USS auctions themselves. To get an 'account' or 'membership' or i guess purchasing access direct with USS i believe you have to own/run a business and prove that, then wait some time for all the paper work and then be able to buy... The auctions are not open to the public.

    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
