THE COMPLETE JOURNEY
From choosing a car to the keys in your hand
The auction journey has six clear steps. You stay in control of the car and budget; our team coordinates the parts that usually cause buyers stress.
1
2Place Your Deposit
The deposit activates an approved auction bid or secures a stock reservation. We confirm the amount, terms and payment purpose in writing before you pay.
Understand deposit and price
3We Check and Bid
For an auction car, our Japan-side team reviews the available sheet, notes, photos and condition, then bids only up to the limit you approved.
Browse Japanese Auctions
4You Win the Car
If the bid wins, we confirm the purchase and the next payment stage. If it does not win, we help move to the next approved option without restarting the search from zero.
Check sold auction data
5We Ship to Cyprus
We coordinate transport in Japan, export documents, marine shipping and the Cyprus import journey, keeping you informed as the car moves forward.

You choose the car and approve the budget. We guide the journey from Japan to Cyprus — and stay with you after the handover.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT SOURCING ROUTE
Auction or Japan Stock: the route changes, the support does not
Not every car is bought the same way. These three routes help you start in the right place instead of forcing every buyer through one funnel.
01
Japanese Auctions
Best for broad choice and active bidding. Review live auction vehicles, use detailed search and compare recent sold results before deciding your limit.
02
Japan Stock / One Price Cars
Best when you prefer an available car with a fixed Japan-side asking route. There is no auction bid: the car is checked, reserved and purchased under the confirmed terms.
03
European Cars from Japan
BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, MINI, Volvo and other European brands can also be sourced from the Japanese market, often with strong condition and history.
MONEY WITHOUT CONFUSION
Your deposit and final EUR price stay clear
How the deposit works
For most purchases, the deposit is 10% of the expected final price, with a minimum of €2,000. Vehicles above €50,000 normally require 30%. The exact amount and terms are confirmed in writing before payment. If an approved auction bid does not win, the deposit can be carried forward to the next approved car under the agreed terms.
What the final EUR price means
You see a final EUR price for eligible stock cars or a clear final EUR estimate before an auction decision. It brings the practical Japan, freight and Cyprus cost categories into one customer-facing figure without exposing internal formulas.
SUPPORT AFTER THE KEYS
The relationship does not end at handover
Cyprus AutoService is a local automotive business in Larnaca, not an anonymous overseas marketplace. After delivery, you can return to us for practical help with the car.
- Local servicing and diagnostics
- Spare-parts support
- Warranty support for eligible inspected vehicles
- A Cyprus team that already knows your import journey
QUICK ANSWERS
Questions about importing a car from Japan to Cyprus
Can I buy from Japan Stock without bidding at an auction?
Yes. Japan Stock / One Price Cars follow a reservation and purchase route rather than an auction bid. We confirm availability, checks, deposit terms and the next payment stage before purchase.
What happens to my deposit if I do not win the auction?
If an approved bid does not win, the deposit can normally be carried forward to the next approved vehicle under the agreed written terms. You do not need to restart the whole selection process.
Do you check the auction sheet before bidding?
We review the auction sheet when it is supplied, together with the available inspector notes, photos, mileage and vehicle details. Availability and depth of auction information can vary by vehicle and auction house.
Can you import BMW, Mercedes-Benz or other European cars from Japan?
Yes. European vehicles sold through the Japanese market are a dedicated sourcing route, including brands such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, MINI, Volvo and Land Rover when suitable cars are available.
Is the website price the final amount in Cyprus?
Eligible Japan Stock cars show a customer-facing final EUR price. Auction cars use a final EUR estimate before bidding because the winning price is not known in advance. We confirm the applicable figure and terms before the financial step.
How long does shipping from Japan to Cyprus take?
Timing depends on the purchase date, export paperwork, vessel availability, sailing schedule and Cyprus port or customs processing. We provide the current practical estimate for the selected car rather than promising one fixed timeline for every shipment.
Do you provide support after I collect the car?
Yes. Cyprus AutoService provides local servicing, diagnostics, spare-parts support and warranty support for eligible inspected vehicles after handover.
