I recently had an incredible experience purchasing a car from a Japanese auction through Car Vector. From start to finish, the service was top-notch. Kosta, the Bid Manager, was fantastic—his deep knowledge and expert guidance made the bidding process smooth and stress-free. He ensured I understood every detail, which gave me confidence as I navigated the auction.
After winning the bid, Christine, the Logistics Manager, took over and handled the shipping process with remarkable efficiency. She managed all the logistics of shipping the car to Kenya, keeping me updated every step of the way. Christine’s attention to detail ensured that my car arrived in perfect condition, right on schedule.
The dedication, professionalism, and personalized service from both Kosta and Christine made this experience truly exceptional. If you're considering importing a car from Japan, I can't recommend Car Vector enough. They went above and beyond, delivering not just a vehicle but an amazing experience. I'm thrilled with my purchase and the outstanding service I received!

I recently exported a car for the first time, and the experience was very good overall. Christine's customer service was excellent and made the process smooth. The car arrived in good condition. However, I was not informed that once you place a bid, you cannot retrieve it without losing the deposit. Knowing this upfront would have been helpful. Despite this, I was satisfied with the service.Would recommend, but do your research first, the cost of shipping,VAT and customs. Reference; Ireland.

Great service. No any extra expenses.
The managers help's on each step. During the bidding manager, Konstantin, double check all the car's I choosed to bid. So, I didn't have any negative surprise upon delivery.
Logistics manager, Christina, keep me posted during delivery, so I no need to use any vessel tracking at all.

I had questions about the process and seems like they didnt like that.
Looks like i got blocked after i asked about if there was any guarantees or insuernce that i will recive the car if purshes.
I got ”we wont sell you anything” then no more answers.

Hello! My name is Vitaliy.
I had experience in delivering a car using the carvector company.
I bought a 2015 Toyota Prius from Japan to Ireland.
I conducted all negotiations with manager Victor. He was very professional and explained exactly how the purchase happened.
I made an advance payment and started choosing a car.
At the selection stage, Victor was constantly in touch and gave tips on the choice.
About a few weeks later the car was won, I paid the rest of the amount. Then I continued working with a car delivery manager, whose name is Christina.
Christina sent me a photo of the purchased car and booked a place on the ship that delivered the Car from Japan to Ireland.
During the delivery process, Christina informed me about the stages of delivery, the location of the ship with the car, as well as the approximate date of delivery to the destination port.
At the same time, Christina prepared all the necessary documents and sent them to me by mail.
The car was delivered to Dublin. When inspecting the car, I found that the car had been used very carefully, some parts of the interior and trunk were in
original packaging, the car interior was very clean. The exterior paintwork showed minor signs of use.
The conclusion I made.
The guys who work in the company are professionals.
I was pleased with the car.
I will continue to order cars from Japan from this company.
Thanks Carvector!

From start to finish the help i received was excellent,from the lads looking after the purchasing side of things at the auctions to the logistics side of things were Christine looks after everything and is so helpful with anything you need and keeps you up to date with the shipping progress.From my experience i would highly recommend Carvector if you are looking to import a car from Japan.

Very unhelpful & unprofessional staff,
They don’t reply.
They refuse to send you photos of a cars
I am convinced they don’t want to make money. I was dealing with victor and he would not reply, I got in contact with mark who finally replied to me and point blank refused to send me any pictures or information on a car I was interested in, mark then proceeded to block me, not the kind of people you want to be sending money overseas to.
