We make sure all your requirements are met on a timely basis, and all the hassles with customs are taken care of with no unpleasant surprises or hidden costs.

Ascent participates in various Japanese used car auctions for used and refurbished cars. Since we have access to many auctions and wholesale dealers our clients can select desired vehicles from the thousands that are available each week. Please check out our Auctions page for more details.

After Sales Support
Our great service does not end after you receive your car from us. We guarantee to meet any of your future car parts needs with 100% authentic new car parts - at very reasonable prices.

Honesty and integrity
Unlike many participants in this industry Ascent Trading does not (and will not – so please don’t ask!) tamper with odometers, forge auction sheets or other documents or deal in any stolen vehicles or vehicle parts.

Direct, open and timely communications
Ascent differentiates itself from the host of Japan-based exporters through direct and open communications with our clients, setting standard and equitable fees for our services and buying direct, which means cutting out additional costs from middlemen.

Thorough and professional inspections
In addition, we will conduct further inspections after the purchase of the vehicle once transportation to our storage yard is complete. Here we will make sure that no major problems were missed during the pre-auction inspection

Visibility and transparency
Ascent provides increased visibility and transparency so our clients are able to understand the purchase, auction and export processes and the various costs involved.

Flat rate fee structure
Ascent charges a flat rate commission which is standard regardless of the value of the car and the actual purchase price. Thus if our buyers are able to purchase the car cheaper than expected these savings are passed on to our clients. We do not seek to capitalize on each sale or gouge our clients. The success of the company depends on our reputation and the repeat business we are able to generate through satisfying our clients.

New and used cars
At Ascent Trading we both purchase cars from auctions and wholesale dealers and also purchase and maintain our own inventory. The cars we have in stock are usually popular models which we know will sell well. To see the cars we currently have in stock please go to inventory.

Worldwide delivery
Ascent ships to almost any destination in the world and is able to arrange all the relevant documentation, de-registration of the car in Japan, transportation to the port, customs clearance etc.
