How It Works

A clear five-step process from search to delivery

A high-value purchase should never rely on guesswork. We coordinate each step from vehicle search and evaluation through purchase, shipping, and U.S. delivery.

  1. Initial consultation: we define your target vehicle, preferences, budget, and timeline before the search begins.
  2. Vehicle search in Japan: we search trusted dealers and market sources, then shortlist candidates that match your needs and budget.
  3. Vehicle evaluation: an engineering-first review of condition, originality, history, value, and potential risks.
  4. Purchase coordination: we communicate with the seller, support negotiations, and coordinate the purchase process.
  5. Shipping to the U.S.: we arrange export, shipping, and U.S. delivery through trusted logistics providers.

We can also coordinate maintenance in Japan after purchase and before export.

You pay the vehicle seller and logistics providers directly. Ignition Japan coordinates the process as your single point of contact.
