The Japan Sourcing Process

Vehicle Sourcing Process in Partnership with Studio WM

GVstudio partners with the renowned Japanese dealer Studio WM to provide consistent quality control from vehicle selection to delivery. We are not merely an auction agent. Through consultation, on-site vehicle searching, third-party inspection, and pre-delivery maintenance, we present four concrete steps to deliver the peace of mind of “Japan Quality” to our customers.

step 1

Consultation and Condition Setting

Consultation and Condition Setting

Clarifying the “Right Car to Find in Japan” based on your needs.

First, please tell us your desired car model. We will then consult with you in detail about your purpose of use (e.g., for weekend drives or for a collection), preferences, and frequency of use. Rather than simply searching for a car, we share a realistic target regarding “what condition and specifications should be aimed for in today’s Japanese market.”
step 2

Vehicle Search within Japan

Vehicle Search within Japan

Searching for candidate vehicles from the largest market and unique routes.

Japan’s Largest Auction “USS”

Access to the heart of the Japanese used car market, realized through our partnership with Studio WM.
The dealer-to-dealer auction market “USS” boasts an overwhelming No. 1 share of used car distribution in Japan. Through our partnership with Studio WM, an official member, GVstudio accesses this huge market directly. From the vast vehicle data updated moment by moment, with tens of thousands of cars listed weekly, we pinpoint the one car that meets your criteria. We can share real-time information on rare cars not found in general dealerships and fresh vehicles that have just hit the market.

Studio WM’s Premium Inventory

Proposing “Top-tier Cars” before they hit the market, faster than anyone else.

Our partner, Studio WM, is a top dealer with a proven track record in Japan. The inventory vehicles they hold are all “units with clear history” whose condition is maintained under professional management. For GVstudio customers, we have prepared a special route to prioritize introducing these vehicles before they flow into the general market or auctions. Being able to acquire quality-guaranteed vehicles with clear provenance without competition is the greatest privilege of this partnership.

Exclusive Network

Unearthing hidden masterpieces that never appear on the open market.
Cars circulating on the internet and auctions are not everything. Utilizing Studio WM’s connections deeply rooted in the Japanese automotive industry over many years, we also search for “undisclosed vehicles” treasured in collectors’ garages and special vehicles traded only through unique routes. Not cars you can buy just with money, but cars you can only meet through “connection and trust.” This is the ultimate solution for those looking for such a phantom car.
step 3

Quality Appraisal by a Third-Party Organization

JAAA

Implementing “JAAA” appraisal to objectively guarantee quality.

When a candidate car is found, we do not simply accept the seller’s explanation. We carry out an appraisal by the authoritative Japanese third-party appraisal organization “JAAA” (Japan Automobile Appraisal Association). We only consider vehicles with a “Certificate of Appraisal” that have been strictly checked by professional appraisers for repair history and odometer tampering.
step 4

Thorough Maintenance Before Export

Thorough Maintenance Before Export

Studio WM mechanics complete maintenance within Japan.

Purchased vehicles are not shipped immediately but enter the Studio WM maintenance factory. Skilled mechanics perform inspections and complete the replacement of necessary consumables and maintenance within Japan. We export to customers in Taiwan only after finishing the vehicle to perfect condition.

At GVstudio, we perform checks by Japanese professionals in every step: “Search,” “Inspect,” and “Maintain.” Even when purchasing from far away in Japan, we provide peace of mind that exceeds buying after seeing the car in person.
