Japan Used Cars Export Car Exporter

Advantages: Good system to view cars at auction.
Disadvantages: outsource to the Phillipines,they are dishonest and will lie to you

...IBC Japan themselves. When confronted IBC Japan had no response except to refuse to provide their contact information. And finally......IBC Japan lies about shipping and tries to jack up the price of shipping by 3x. Here is an example, for RO/RO car carrier shipping the price was 87,000 Yen initially (about 870USD) but now they are telling (Canadians at least) that this type of shipping is not available but promise to do their best to get it. They now say the total price of shipping is $3015 USD for a single car and that they will only do a full container! They cleverly say it is just $2195 USD on top of the already paid for price but it took several e-mails to get them to admit the true cost for shipping. One thing about that, is that any exporter can easily ship shared container for $1300-$1500 USD and even a full container is... Read review

Advantages: Excellent service, loads for pictures and honest infomation on cars.
Disadvantages: Some cars can be expensive.

...I have been dealing with IBC for a number of years now and I have never had the problems expeirenced with the person who wrote the last review. The only reason I can see they has trouble is that they may have bid on a car using the online auction and chickened out after the purchase. IBC has a policy of requiring a 100,000 jpy (€750) deposit to receive bidding rights.

Advantages: Wide selection of cars, good prices.
Disadvantages: Cars never ship, so nullifies the advantages.

...As Im writing this review, its the middle of March. Three months ago, in the middle of December, I sent them the first half of the payment for the vehicle, after which they should have put it on a boat, then I pay the other half. Up to now they have not shipped the car, and can not even tell me when they expect to do that. Other people I know have both cars from other Japanese companies, and gotten theirs already. I was drawn to IBC Japan after a few people I know told me about them, and the professional look and functionality of their website. However, Id recommend you forget all that. Go with other sites that dont look as fancy, but get the job done. Autorec, Mehran, Avongroup are all worthy of mention. IBC's website has a lot of features you dont find anywhere, live Customer Service Reps, skype, the full works, but they just... Read review
