What is SKD Live Auction?
One account — all major Japanese vehicle auctions within your reach
SKD Live Auction makes bidding at Japanese car auctions easy for buyers outside Japan. Search vehicles from USS, TAA, CAA, HAA, JU, ARAI and other auction houses, each with its own schedule and rules, from a single place.
Our team in Japan checks auction sheets, places your bids, and handles payment, export documents and shipping once you win — so you buy direct from the source at auction prices.
Verified auction sheets
Every lot comes with its auction grade and inspection sheet, translated on request.
Bid within your budget
Set your maximum bid; you only pay the hammer price plus agreed fees.

Auction results are never guaranteed. Final price depends on bidding, auction fees, shipping and the destination country's import rules.
