SUMMARY OF COMPANY AND SERVICES

Aptus Direct is a Japanese vehicle import company with a difference. Employing many years of experience in the Japanese car import business, we secure for our clients the best value and quality in Japanese cars by providing a safe, secure and reliable means for our clients to source and import a car from Japan. Our innovative service offers customers the opportunity to avoid UK dealer mark ups and buy a car from a Japanese auction at a wholesale price and hence enjoy substantial savings on a Japanese used vehicle of known and assured quality, with lower mileage and higher specification than local market models.

Via our website www.aptusdirect.com, we provide instant online access to a vast number of dealer auctions in Japan, giving the public the opportunity to search, view and bid on any of more than 200,000 auction vehicles each week and hence acquire their automobile from the same wholesale source as motor vehicle dealers. The Aptus Direct website offers outstanding point-and-click search and bid functionality, unrivalled not only by any other import agent but by the online facilities of the auction houses themselves. Our system incorporates a database of past Japanese auction sales and automatically generates recent average auction prices for matching Japanese vehicles, and includes a sophisticated price calculator to easily produce final price estimates. Users can make use of an array of convenient site features - create shortlists, lodge dummy bids in order to trial the process, view specifications, track vehicles and much more. The site is designed to be simple to operate, and access via registration is easy, immediate and free, requiring just a name and valid email address.

While the ability to buy discount vehicles from Japanese auctions is a clear advantage of importing a car from Japan, quality assurance is the underlying tenet of our operation; unlike dealers who strive to buy cheap cars in order to maximise resale profit, often leading to purchase of lower quality, higher mileage or accident-repair vehicles as forecourt stock, we are an agent commissioned on a flat fee basis by our clients specifically to act solely in their interests and ensure that their direct import vehicle is not only a bargain but of superior quality and condition, a responsibility we take very seriously. Detailed inspection reports regarding the condition and mileage of all vehicles are supplied with translations prior to the auction. Further, we have our own assessors at the major auctions in Japan to conduct detailed physical checks of vehicles and address specific queries before bidding. After purchase, we conduct a full road test and a further thorough inspection, with a return or claim process in place. We also provide extensive photographs of the vehicle inside and out prior to shipment. We offer a range of assurances including funds transfer indemnity, marine insurance, comprehensive warranty, certificate of authenticity (including HPi check, valid ownership verification and warranted genuine mileage) and a full money-back guarantee in the form of a buy-back option on approved vehicles - we believe we are the only import agent to back up their services with such iron-clad assurances, making Aptus Direct the most secure possible way possible to import a Japanese used car.

We aim not only to find our clients an unbeatable deal on great Japanese imports, but to provide a totally seamless service by comprehensively managing the entire importation process - from vehicle search, purchase at Japanese dealer auction, handling of documentation and export procedures and arrangement of shipping through to customs clearance, management of all import procedures, Model Report rental, ESVA compliance, registration and on-road delivery in the UK, Ireland or New Zealand. We provide in-depth consultation with clients throughout, advising on prospective vehicles, translating inspection reports, handling all necessary documentation and procedures and coordinating with all relevant parties. We are committed to making the process for those who wish to import a Japanese car as easy - even enjoyable - as possible.

Aptus Direct and Aptus Autos are divisions of the Aptus Auto Network Ltd, a UK-registered company (No. 05739174); we are VAT registered (No. 892376875), are registered with the Office of Fair Trading (CCL No. 591160 cat. C) and hold DVLA Registered Motor Dealer status. It is important in the used vehicle industry to know you are dealing with a trustworthy organisation, and peace of mind for our customers is our paramount concern - we therefore welcome any and all due diligence enquiries. We look forward to serving you.
