Your order, step by step
How to order a vehicle directly
From Japan, Korea and China. From the first conversation to receiving your keys.
01 / Your request
We start with what matters to you

Tell us the model, budget, required equipment and the destination country with the city or port. We will discuss how you plan to use the vehicle: city driving, family, work or a hobby.
You can ask GTYRES to search or send us a vehicle you have already found. In the latter case, we will check the offer and calculate costs for that exact vehicle.
Result: clear search criteria and an overall budget.
02 / Selection and inspection
We assess the exact vehicle

We compare suitable vehicles and send you photos, video and available condition information. We discuss mileage, equipment, service history and bodywork notes.
For Japan, we review the auction sheet and inspector comments. For Korea and China, we verify seller information and on-site inspection results. We arrange an additional inspection if the available information is insufficient.
Review an auction sheet ↗Your decision: which vehicle suits you and which defects are acceptable.
03 / Contract and estimate
We explain each part of the cost

Before purchase we agree the terms, the payment procedure and the costs for the vehicle, the services in Japan, export paperwork and transport. We identify amounts that depend on exchange rates and the chosen route.
The contract can be signed at our office or remotely. For a purchase at a Japanese auction we agree a deposit before bidding; it forms part of the final vehicle price and the amount is confirmed for your request. Refund terms are stated in the contract.
Costs we discuss
- Vehicle price, services, fees and transport within the country of purchase.
- International shipping and insurance.
- Import duties, taxes and local registration paperwork in the country of arrival: they follow the rules of your destination and are confirmed for the direction.
- Additional work in Japan and onward transport at the destination according to your order.
Before payment: agreed terms and an estimate for your order.
04 / Purchase
You approve the choice, then we buy

After your approval, we bid at auction or arrange the purchase from the seller. We agree a maximum bid in advance. If the lot is not won, we discuss the next options.
After a successful auction, an invoice is issued for the Japanese costs: the lot price, auction fee and transport within Japan. The payment procedure and supporting documents are covered by the contract.
How to pay the invoice ↗Result: the purchased vehicle and transaction documents.
05 / Preparation and transport
We prepare the vehicle for transport

Before shipment, we can replace fluids, source wheels, install equipment or carry out repairs. We first agree the work list and estimate, then complete the work and show you the result.
We arrange shipment and the export paperwork in Japan; import clearance takes place in the country of arrival. Waiting for a sailing in Japan may take one to two weeks; the actual period depends on the shipping schedule. We agree the route and keep you informed about progress.
Work available in Japan ↗You know what has been done to the vehicle and which stage the delivery has reached.
06 / Your vehicle
The keys are yours
We agree the place and time for collection. You can collect the vehicle at the agreed point or ask us to arrange onward transport. The documents and keys are handed over with the vehicle.
We explain the handover checks and answer questions about collection. We will be glad to receive your review if you wish to share your experience.
Delivery and logistics ↗We meet you with your vehicle and remain available.
