Questions About Our 2-Year Shaken & Tax Guarantee
What is specifically included in the 2-Year Shaken Guarantee?
The 2-year shaken guarantee covers the full 24-month statutory inspection fee, automobile weight tax, mandatory liability insurance (CALI/Jibaiseki) for 24 months, and test stamp fees. There are no surprise inspection surcharges.
What does "1-Year Road Tax Paid" mean?
Annual Japanese road tax for the current fiscal year is fully prepaid by Nihon Shokai. You drive away immediately without recurring road tax bills until the next annual cycle.
How does the Shaken Guarantee benefit overseas export buyers?
While overseas export requires deregistration from Japan transport ministry, our shaken guarantee ensures the car has passed strict Japanese government mechanical standards. We perform the same comprehensive inspection, oil replacement, and brake tests before ocean loading.
Can I view the official inspection sheet before purchasing?
Yes. We provide complete transparent documentation including past inspection certificates, maintenance log books, auction sheets, and high-resolution engine bay walkarounds.
