I bought a GS350 for my son direct from Japanese auction. Before bidding I have a wealth of information about the vehicle. The next car I purchased was a IS300H 2013. Nice car. Again perfect condition. So much so the Lexus bought it for about the same price I bought it for in Japan. Next a Lexus RX450H 2013. Again great cat. Air suspension. Just waiting for that to go through compliance. In the meantime sitting in my garage. 89,000Kilometres. All the cars I buy from Japanese auction direct. Do I get them cheaper. Maybe , depends. But at least you have a better idea what you can expect with all the information I get BEFORE I bid. Prior to that I purchased 3 cadillacs direct from HongKong. The cadillacs, 1970's are big cars and not made for the streets of HongKong. They were mainly used by large corporates to pick up their guests from the airport and then parked in undercover storage until required again. Hence the mileages , around 20 thousand miles. All were converted from Left hand drive to right hand drive by the then Cadillac agents in HongKong. Just before Britain gave the colony back to the Chinese the Cadillac people immigrated to Canada, like many other Hong Kong people.
