This is how it should feel
Really easy and pleasant dealing with Craig at Fast Easy Car Dealer. The whole process was straightforward and hassle-free. Craig transferred the ownership of the car immediately and offered a fair and reasonable price. Very happy with the service and would definitely recommend them.

I used these guys to sell my berlingo and was very pleased with the service! Craig phoned up to arrange a visit the same day and we struck a deal within a ten minute visit! I received the money there and then via a bank transfer and Craig drove my van away! I would highly recommend and will definitely use again!

A faster way to sell your car. All questions are asked and clarified beforehand, so you’ll speak directly with the person or team coming to pick it up — no need to answer the same questions again and again. Reasonable pricing, no hidden costs, and instant money transfers. I’d highly recommend it.

Selling a Japanese import car
Japanese import cars — from JDM performance models to Japanese-market people carriers — can be harder to sell through mainstream car-buying services that value against standard UK templates. Specifications, derivatives, and equipment can differ from UK-market versions, which is why a Japanese import needs to be valued on its own merits.
Fast Easy Car buys UK-registered Japanese imported cars and JDM vehicles. Enter your registration and mileage to start a free valuation — there's no obligation, and collection is free if you accept.
We also buy other imported vehicles — see our general imported car buying page for the full range of imports we consider.
Japanese imports we buy
We consider UK-registered Japanese import cars across a range of categories. Each vehicle is valued on its own specification and condition.
JDM performance vehicles
Japanese Domestic Market performance cars — models built for the Japanese market and imported to the UK, including sports cars and performance variants not officially sold here.
Japanese-market MPVs & people carriers
Japanese-market people carriers and MPVs that were never officially sold in the UK — models that are well established in the UK import market.
Japanese-market estates & 4x4s
Estates, 4x4s, and kei cars built for the Japanese market and since registered in the UK with a DVLA V5C logbook.
Japanese-spec versions of UK models
Models also sold in the UK but in a different Japanese-market specification, trim, or derivative — valued on their own specification rather than a UK-spec template.
Your Japanese import must be UK-registered with a DVLA V5C logbook. We consider each vehicle individually — enter your registration and mileage to find out.
How we value Japanese imports
We consider each Japanese import individually, based on its own characteristics rather than a standard template.
Model & derivative
The exact model and derivative of your Japanese import — which may differ from UK-market equivalents in trim, engine, or specification.
Age, mileage & condition
The age of the vehicle, its mileage, overall condition, service history, and any damage or modifications.
Specification
Japanese-market specification and equipment that may differ from UK versions — considered as part of the valuation, not assumed to add or reduce value.
UK market demand
Current demand for your specific Japanese import in the UK market, including comparable sales data where available.
Being a Japanese import does not automatically mean a car is worth more or less. Some Japanese imports are sought after in the UK because of their specification or rarity; others are valued in line with comparable UK models. Enter your registration and mileage to get a valuation for your specific vehicle.
Kilometres vs miles
Many Japanese import cars originally recorded their distance in kilometres rather than miles. Some have since been converted to display miles; others still show kilometres on the odometer.
When you enter your mileage for a valuation, use the figure displayed on your odometer. If your Japanese import still records in kilometres, let us know during the condition step so we can value it accurately.
Japanese specification & derivatives
Japanese-market cars can have specifications, trim levels, or derivatives that differ from UK-market versions of the same model. Equipment, engine options, gearbox choices, and even model names can vary between the Japanese and UK markets.
This is why accurate identification of your vehicle is important. When you enter your registration, we look up your vehicle's details — but if your Japanese import has a specification that differs from the standard UK record, let us know during the valuation process so we can value the correct vehicle.
Japanese specification does not automatically increase or decrease a car's value. We value each Japanese import on its own specification, condition, and UK market demand.
Japanese auction & vehicle history
Many Japanese import cars were originally sold at auction in Japan before being imported to the UK. Auction sheets and export documents can provide useful information about a vehicle's grade, mileage, and condition at the point of export.
If you have auction documentation, Japanese export paperwork, or service records from Japan, have them ready — they can help during the valuation and inspection process. If you don't have these documents, you can still get a valuation; enter your registration and mileage to start.
Selling a JDM car
JDM — Japanese Domestic Market — vehicles are cars built for the Japanese market and later imported to the UK. If you want to sell a JDM car, Fast Easy Car can value and buy it, provided it is UK-registered with a DVLA V5C logbook.
Whether you're selling a JDM performance car, a JDM people carrier, or a Japanese-market model that was never officially sold in the UK, enter your registration and mileage for a free valuation. We value each JDM vehicle on its own specification and condition rather than assuming a standard price.
You can sell your JDM car through the same straightforward process as any other vehicle we buy — free valuation, free collection, instant payment, and no obligation.
