How do I find a car at a Japanese auto auction?

Most buyers use a licensed broker who has auction access. You describe what you want (model, year, grade, mileage) and the broker monitors auctions like USS, JAA, BCA, Arai, and TAA for matching lots. You can also browse auction sheets directly on sites like Goo-net, Be Forward, or Japan Partner. Auction sheets (inspection reports) reveal condition grades and detailed fault descriptions. Bids are placed remotely through the broker.
