A good way of doing this is by researching online on popular search engines and online directories.

From the way the dealers present themselves and from reviews made by people who have transacted with them before, you will find a good exporter or a number of them. Once that is settled, send out many inquiries to the used car exporters that you identified.

The company needs to find the best model for you according to your preferences. Lay out what you would like in terms of the car price range, color of the vehicle, the make and model, the fuel type and mileage among the other important details. You can also ask for pictures of the car you prefer so that you do not buy blindly.

You can also ask to have a look at the service sheets of your car to confirm the details. This will help you to get the best deal without being ripped off unknowingly. Once you identify the right car, you can then make the payment. You expect them to do the shipping and also send you the necessary documents. These include items such as customs invoice, Japanese de-registration certificate and others.

    You’re thinking of the IROC (International Race of Champions) Series which is no loegnr run (the series ran from 1974 until 2006). They did not have any special paint job. They were solid colors with black numbers. They were evenly prepared cars so no driver would have an advantage.
