Top 5: Best Japanese Used Cars

Welcome back to Japan's number one car exporter - Auto Portal Co, Ltd.

Every month we are working with a number of used car delears around the world to bid on, secure, and ship the cars they need for the inventory.

Here on our blog today, you'll see a quick list of five of the most commomly purchased vehicles we purchase / bid on.

1: Toyota Prius:

The Prius has been a staple of the market ever since it was released here in japan in 1997. In the recent few months this has been the top export to the UK market, as well as a strong purchase for other regions. Taxi companies, such as Uber and others alike are one example of customers that will end up buying these cars from our customers we ship to due to the Hybrid options and reliability.! #toyotaprius (Join Auto Portal today to work with us to bid on cars at Japanese auctions.)

2: Toyota Alphard/Vellfire:

For our used car delaer customers that may focus on stocking Minivans - then one car on the list is always the Toyota Alphard/Vellfire. In 2023 the Fourth Generation Alphard and Third Generation Vellfire were released to market as as these popular platforms continue to excel in the market place. With seven and eight seat options and with many, many options or aftermarket parts to further enhance the luxury ride these cars give, it's easy to understand why the remain high on demand. #toyotaalphard #toyotavellfire

3: Honda StepWgn:

We stay in the minivan market for the Honda Stepwgn. In 2022 the Honda brand released the Sixth Generation of the Stepwgn with the Air, Spada, and Spada premium line of models making it into the selection pool this time around. With various rim and trim options it remains a popular choice to new buyers here in Japan, and in turn a heavily demanded vehicle for our many customer overseas. #hondastepwgn

4: Suzuki Carry Truck

For many years the Kei Trucks - such as the Suzuki Carry - remained an untapped source for anyone outside of Japanese. But as they reached legal age for import/export to various countries in recent years, the market for these models has risen year on year.

Whilst there are newer models the poular ninth generation models from the mid nineties stay strong with many exports to the USA as example and with many options for use such as agricultural work, or customizing into snow ploughs, hunting trucks, or fishing expedition units.. the options are endless. #suzukicarry (Join us at Auto Portal to bid on many carry trucks and other kei trucks six days a week at auction. We look forward to hearing from you.)

5: Daihatsu Hijet Truck

Following on from the Carry, we have the Daihatsu Hijet - another very in demand truck from the series of kei trucks available. The Hijet stands proud as having the `Jumbo` version available which offers a larger cabin and leg space room. Perfect for the taller person.

We sell so many of these trucks, we even from time to time pick some up to sell direct from us to customers, such as the exmaple in the above video on our YouTube channel. So how about adding some kei Trucks to your inventory lineup?. #daihatsuhijet

So that's it for this version of our ''Top-5'' list of recent exports.
