Trading in, moving, or considering scrapping? Your car can still run. Even vehicles that have finished their duty in Japan are in high demand overseas. We handle all the paperwork. Sell higher than scrapping, eco-friendly, and give your beloved car a new journey.
Soukyo supports your entire car life — from buying to letting go.
At other companies, letting go of a car means scrapping or getting lowballed. At Soukyo, we offer the option of overseas reuse. Your beloved car will continue running as someone's precious ride somewhere in the world.
Starting with America's "25-Year Rule," Japanese used cars are in high demand worldwide. Japanese cars with maintenance records are regarded as "the most reliable used cars in the world."
Japanese cars maintained through the shaken inspection system and meticulous maintenance culture earn overwhelming trust in overseas markets. Even high-mileage vehicles can fetch premium prices with proper service records.
Over 1.7 million Japanese right-hand drive cars are exported annually, mainly to Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. Someone in the world needs your car.
Scrapping may cost you money. Overseas sale gives you a purchase price while being a sustainable choice that keeps a still-running car alive.
