Here are some tips to avoid getting scammed by those little rascals on TC-V 1) Always ask for an auction sheet. Fact: Most cars listed there are bought at auction and will give you a good items of the condition of the car. If you do not speak Japanese you can use google translate to assist you with translating the auction sheet. Some may not have an auction sheet as the vehicle may have been purchased privately, If so move to tip #2. 2) Always, always and always ASK FOR THE VEHICLE EXPORT CERTIFICATE. This is an official document issued for all vehicles that are to be exported from japan. If includes the correct vehicle vin / chassis number, along with the correct mileage of the vehicle. In my case those scammers deliberately covered up the mileage on the document before sending me photos of the export certificate and i was completely unaware of this until it was too late. So ensure that the document has all these details. I have attached a photo of and example of an export certificate. I have highlighted in red the chassis number of the vehicle and in green the mileage of the vehicle. The mileage at the top will be the most recent mileage. 3) Request many photos Request as many photos as possible. Some sellers tend to display very dull photos on their listings to hide details of the vehicle, If there isn't enough photos ask them to take more photos and email them to you. Photos of font, rear, sides and the under body of the vehicle as many of those vehicle may have rust on the under body so the sellers will neglect to take a photo of the under body of the vehicle. In my case, they had about 6 photos and they deliberately did not photo the front windshield to hide the large crack. I hope this helps you all. Best of luck.
I purchased a Nissan Skyline from Gemmy Trading LLC. Trevor seemed ok, but then I found out the car had damaged in few areas which he did not inform me. Since he already had the deposit, he refused to send a refund. Furthermore, his company performed maintenance service on the car and it was not done correctly. Upon receiving the car, I had to repay for the services again. Very disappointed.
I award nine in a scale of one to ten. I bought a car from ZEST company the transactions were fast, shipment even faster. When I received my car the interior was clean, the exterior no dent at all. Thank you Yoshi of ZEST in Tradecarview.
Thank you for all your responses here all your contributions really helpful. For all this reviews ill rather use my money to play casino than to give it out.
Out of my personal experience I think that tradecarview is a great site that brings many dealers under one roof for buyers to select best deals. It is no different like other websites in the US, cars.com, autotrader.com which brings many dealers under one roof. Even on the best sites you will always find one bad dealer, and some crooks out there to get you. Word of cauction! Do your homework before you shop. Buyers shop at tradecarview because they are looking for cheaper deals. The sellers mainly list themselves as exporters, and majority do not sell the cars locally. If you want a great used car from Japan with guarantee on condition, the best place to shop is directly from the local used car dealers, ( mainly not listed in tradecarview and in most case they 100% Japanese speaking dealership, no foreign language!, Plus the cars are more expensive doh!). Having said that, I think tradecarview is a great site, that tries to bring different dealer under one roof and the buyers and compare prices and avoid being ripped off. Tradecarview recently opened regional offices overseas. They can only do this because they have a big and growing customer base.
I hope my comments here shines light to those who wrote negative reviews earlier.
