Importing a Used Mercedes-Benz from Japan: E-Class, S-Class, G-Class and AMG Export Guide

Why More Buyers Are Importing High-End Mercedes-Benz From Japan

Japan has one of the world’s strongest markets for high-end Mercedes-Benz vehicles. In Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka, Nagoya, Kobe, and other major cities, the E-Class, S-Class, G-Class, Mercedes-AMG, and Mercedes-Maybach ranges are a common sight.

Recently, more overseas buyers have started looking at Japan as a source for used Mercedes-Benz luxury cars and performance models.

The appeal is easy to understand. Japan has a large supply of carefully maintained Mercedes-Benz vehicles, including low-mileage cars, unusual factory specifications, limited editions, and both right-hand-drive and left-hand-drive examples.

Depreciation can also be significant. An S-Class that cost well over ¥15 million when new may become much more affordable after several years, while older E-Class sedans and wagons can offer an impressive amount of comfort, technology, and performance for the money.

The G-Class is a slightly different story. Desirable G 350 d, G 400 d, G 450 d, and Mercedes-AMG G 63 models often retain their value well, but Japan still offers a strong selection of colours, option packages, limited editions, and exceptionally clean examples.

For overseas buyers, the main models worth watching are:

  • Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedans and station wagons
  • Mercedes-AMG E 43, E 53, and E 63 models
  • Mercedes-Benz S-Class and S-Class Long
  • Mercedes-AMG S 63 and older S 65 models
  • Mercedes-Maybach S-Class
  • Mercedes-Benz G-Class diesel models
  • Mercedes-AMG G 63
  • Earlier W463 G-Class special editions

A low Japanese purchase price can be attractive, but buying the right individual car matters much more than buying the cheapest one.

Why Used Mercedes-Benz Prices in Japan Can Be Attractive

Mercedes-Benz has been one of Japan’s most established imported luxury brands for decades.

The country has a large authorised dealer network, a strong certified-used programme, specialist European-car dealerships, independent workshops, and dealer-only auctions handling thousands of imported vehicles every week.

As owners trade in their vehicles for newer models, a steady supply of E-Class, S-Class, G-Class, and AMG vehicles enters the used market.

Depreciation is one of the biggest opportunities.

Large luxury sedans generally lose value more quickly than sports cars and certain luxury SUVs. This is especially noticeable with older S-Class models. A car that was originally one of the most expensive vehicles in the Mercedes-Benz range may eventually cost less than a much smaller new luxury car.

Current Japanese listings show how wide the market has become. Car Sensor lists hundreds of S-Class vehicles, with current-generation W223 examples generally appearing from around ¥6 million and reaching well above ¥19 million depending on engine, body length, specification, and condition. The same platform lists the original Japanese new-car range for the current S-Class at approximately ¥12.93 million to ¥26.56 million.

The previous W222 generation can be considerably cheaper. Clean S 400, S 450, S 560, and diesel examples may offer excellent value, although mileage, options, service history, and suspension condition have a major effect on price.

The E-Class covers an even wider range. Older W212 cars can be relatively affordable, while the later W213 and current W214 generations sit higher. Current-generation E-Class listings have recently averaged around the low-¥8 million range, while the 2016–2024 W213 generation is available at much lower prices depending on age and specification.

The G-Class generally commands much stronger prices. Current Japanese listings place many newer Mercedes-AMG G 63 examples around the ¥23 million to ¥24 million level on average, although earlier cars and higher-mileage examples can be cheaper.

These are public retail figures, not auction prices. Dealer-only auction vehicles may sell for less, while rare colours, limited editions, low-mileage cars, and heavily optioned examples may sell for considerably more.

The complete import cost must also include inland transportation in Japan, exporter charges, shipping, marine insurance, import duty, taxes, registration, compliance work, and any maintenance required after arrival.

Why Japan Is a Good Place to Buy a Used Mercedes-Benz

Japan offers several advantages for buyers searching for higher-end Mercedes-Benz models.

Many luxury vehicles in Japan cover relatively low annual mileage. Owners living in major cities often use trains for commuting and keep their Mercedes-Benz for weekends, business travel, or longer journeys.

Indoor parking is also common. Expensive vehicles may be kept in private garages, covered apartment parking, mechanical parking towers, or specialist storage facilities.

Japan’s vehicle inspection system encourages owners to maintain their cars, although the inspection alone does not guarantee perfect condition. Higher-end Mercedes-Benz owners also frequently use authorised dealerships or established European-car specialists.

Another advantage is the amount of available information.

Japanese auction sheets can identify exterior damage, interior wear, warning lights, repair history, corrosion, wheel scratches, and other visible condition points. Previous auction records may also help confirm mileage and earlier condition.

Japan’s Mercedes-Benz Certified programme provides another source of higher-quality inventory. Mercedes-Benz Japan states that certified vehicles undergo as many as 100 inspection and maintenance checks and include two years of unlimited-mileage warranty coverage within Japan. The official network normally carries more than 3,000 certified vehicles across the brand.

Overseas buyers should not assume that the Japanese warranty will remain valid after export, but the inspection records and dealer history can still make certified inventory attractive.

Japanese-market cars can also have excellent specifications. Common desirable features include:

  • AMG Line exterior and interior packages
  • Exclusive leather packages
  • Rear-seat comfort packages
  • Burmester audio
  • Panoramic roofs
  • AIRMATIC suspension
  • Multicontour and massaging seats
  • Ventilated seats
  • Night packages
  • MANUFAKTUR paint and leather
  • Carbon-fibre trim
  • Rear-wheel steering
  • AMG Performance exhaust
  • AMG Dynamic Plus packages

Japan also received numerous limited editions that may be difficult to find overseas.

Which Mercedes-Benz Models Are Most Popular for Export from Japan?

Mercedes-Benz E-Class

The E-Class is one of the most practical high-end Mercedes-Benz models to export from Japan.

It offers more space and comfort than the C-Class without the size, complexity, and running costs of an S-Class. Japanese inventory includes sedans, station wagons, diesel models, petrol models, plug-in hybrids, and AMG variants.

The W212 generation remains popular for buyers seeking a traditional, durable-feeling executive car at a reasonable price. The later W213 offers newer technology, more modern styling, widescreen displays, improved driver assistance, and a much more contemporary cabin.

The current W214 is still relatively new and expensive, but more used examples are gradually entering the market.

Station wagons are especially interesting. Japan has a good supply of E-Class wagons, including AMG Line cars, E 400 and E 450 4MATIC models, diesel wagons, and the high-performance E 63.

For many overseas buyers, the E-Class provides the strongest balance of purchase price, comfort, parts availability, and resale potential.

Mercedes-AMG E-Class

AMG versions of the E-Class attract buyers who want luxury and serious performance in the same vehicle.

The E 43 and E 53 are generally more approachable than the E 63, while still offering all-wheel drive, strong acceleration, AMG styling, upgraded brakes, and more aggressive exhaust systems.

The E 63 and E 63 S sit at the top of the range. Both sedan and wagon versions are desirable, particularly the V8-powered W212 and W213 generations.

Japanese cars can be found with carbon packages, performance seats, ceramic brakes, forged wheels, and unusual colours. Service history and evidence of modifications should be checked closely, especially on vehicles that may have been tuned or driven hard.

Mercedes-Benz S-Class

The S-Class is one of the most attractive Japanese luxury-car exports because depreciation can create significant value.

The W222 generation is especially popular. It still looks modern, offers an exceptionally comfortable cabin, and is available in a wide range of versions, including the S 400, S 450, S 550, S 560, diesel models, long-wheelbase models, AMG versions, and Maybach models.

The current W223 adds newer displays, rear-wheel steering, more advanced driver assistance, and a more modern interior. Prices remain higher, but early examples have already depreciated from their original new-car cost.

Long-wheelbase S-Class models are common in Japan because many were purchased as executive or chauffeur-driven vehicles. Rear-seat condition, idling history, and maintenance records should be checked, even when the odometer is low.

Mercedes-AMG S 63 and S 65

The S 63 combines the luxury of the S-Class with AMG performance.

Earlier W221 and W222 S 63 models can appear surprisingly affordable compared with their original prices, but they require careful inspection. Air suspension, cooling systems, engine mounts, brakes, electronics, and oil leaks can all become expensive.

The V12-powered S 65 is rarer and more specialised. It offers enormous torque, unusual equipment, and collector appeal, but maintenance and parts costs are substantially higher.

These cars make the most sense for knowledgeable buyers who understand that a heavily depreciated flagship still has flagship-level repair costs.

Mercedes-Maybach S-Class

Mercedes-Maybach S-Class models are among the highest-end Mercedes-Benz vehicles available in Japan.

Japanese examples may include rear executive seating, folding tables, refrigerated compartments, Burmester high-end audio, powered rear doors, champagne flutes, privacy equipment, two-tone paint, and MANUFAKTUR interiors.

The current used market includes Maybach S-Class vehicles at an average price close to ¥19.5 million, although individual cars vary significantly by age, engine, equipment, and condition.

Maybach models are particularly attractive to buyers in the Middle East, Asia, Europe, and markets where chauffeur-driven luxury sedans remain popular.

Mercedes-Benz G-Class

The G-Class is one of the most internationally desirable vehicles available from Japan.

Earlier W463 models have a more traditional appearance and mechanical feel, while the newer generation introduced in 2018 offers a much more modern cabin, better ride quality, improved steering, and significantly updated technology.

Diesel versions such as the G 350 d, G 400 d, and newer G 450 d are popular because they combine strong torque with lower running costs than the G 63.

The G-Class also has excellent resale recognition. Buyers in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, the Middle East, Africa, and parts of Asia are already familiar with the model.

Japanese inventory includes standard cars, AMG Line models, MANUFAKTUR editions, limited editions, and heavily modified examples.

Mercedes-AMG G 63

The G 63 is usually the most requested high-end Mercedes-Benz export from Japan.

It combines the G-Class body with AMG V8 power, aggressive styling, larger brakes, performance exhausts, and a much more dramatic character.

Japan has a large supply of G 63s, including right-hand-drive and left-hand-drive examples. Current retail listings for newer models average approximately ¥23.7 million, while certain earlier versions average closer to ¥18 million depending on model year and specification.

Special editions can command much higher prices. Japan received limited-production versions with exclusive paint, carbon-fibre trim, Night packages, special interiors, and numbered allocations.

The G 63 is one of the strongest export products in the Mercedes-Benz range, but it is also one of the models most likely to have aftermarket wheels, suspension changes, body kits, exhaust modifications, or ECU tuning.

Which Countries Are Buying Mercedes-Benz Vehicles from Japan?

High-end Japanese Mercedes-Benz vehicles attract buyers across both right-hand-drive and left-hand-drive markets.

The United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia, Ireland, Malta, Cyprus, Hong Kong, Singapore, and several African and Caribbean countries are natural destinations for right-hand-drive examples.

The E-Class is attractive to buyers looking for a premium daily driver, while G-Class and AMG models appeal strongly to dealers and private buyers seeking higher-value inventory.

New Zealand has an established Japanese-import system and is a natural market for E-Class wagons, S-Class sedans, and G-Class models.

The United Kingdom already has a strong Mercedes-Benz enthusiast and dealer market. Japanese cars can stand out when they offer lower mileage, better condition, rare options, or an unusual specification.

Australia has strong demand for AMG and G-Class vehicles, but import eligibility must be checked before purchase. Being right-hand drive does not automatically make a vehicle eligible for Australian registration.

Left-hand-drive Mercedes-Benz vehicles from Japan can appeal to continental Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia, and other LHD markets. Japan has a particularly useful supply of left-hand-drive G 63, S-Class, Maybach, and older flagship models.

The United States remains difficult for most modern Japanese-market Mercedes-Benz vehicles because cars under 25 years old generally need to satisfy federal import requirements. Older W140, W210, early W220, and classic G-Class models may become more practical as they reach the 25-year threshold.

Every buyer should confirm import eligibility, emissions rules, lighting requirements, taxes, documentation, and registration before bidding.

Japan Has Both Right-Hand-Drive and Left-Hand-Drive Mercedes-Benz Vehicles

Japan drives on the left, so most normal passenger vehicles are right-hand drive.

However, left-hand drive has long been popular among Japanese buyers of high-end European cars.

For decades, owning a left-hand-drive Mercedes-Benz was seen by some buyers as more prestigious and closer to the car’s original European specification. This is especially common among older S-Class, AMG, Maybach, and G-Class vehicles.

As a result, Japanese dealerships and auctions regularly offer both steering configurations.

This gives overseas buyers more flexibility. A British, Australian, or New Zealand customer can search for a right-hand-drive car, while customers in Germany, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kazakhstan, or other left-hand-drive markets may be able to find a suitable Japanese example.

The steering position must always be confirmed from the photographs, listing details, chassis information, and auction sheet.

AMG Line Is Not the Same as Mercedes-AMG

This is one of the most important details for overseas buyers to understand.

An E 220 d AMG Line or S 450 AMG Line is not a full Mercedes-AMG model.

AMG Line is mainly an appearance and equipment package. It may add sportier bumpers, AMG wheels, upgraded seats, a different steering wheel, larger brakes on certain models, and AMG-branded interior details.

A full Mercedes-AMG vehicle has a different performance identity. Examples include:

  • Mercedes-AMG E 53
  • Mercedes-AMG E 63 S
  • Mercedes-AMG S 63
  • Mercedes-AMG G 63

These models normally receive significantly more powerful engines, AMG-specific suspension, brakes, cooling, exhaust systems, software, and drivetrain calibration.

Japanese listings sometimes shorten the names or place “AMG” prominently in the title, so buyers should confirm the exact model and chassis code rather than relying on photographs alone.

MANUFAKTUR, Exclusive Packages and Special Editions

High-end Japanese Mercedes-Benz vehicles often have expensive factory options.

MANUFAKTUR is Mercedes-Benz’s personalisation programme and can include special exterior colours, upgraded leather, unique stitching, two-tone interiors, exclusive trim, and other bespoke details.

These options can make a major difference in desirability.

A standard black G 63 with a black interior may be easier to find, while a MANUFAKTUR car in a rare colour with carbon trim and a special leather combination may command a substantial premium.

The same applies to S-Class and Maybach models. Rear-seat packages, First-Class rear compartments, reclining seats, refrigerator compartments, high-end Burmester systems, panoramic roofs, and executive interior packages all matter.

Japan also received numerous limited editions. Some were restricted to only a few dozen vehicles nationally and may include colours or equipment not commonly offered elsewhere.

Buyers should request the original equipment list or data card where possible. Aftermarket wheels, badges, body parts, and carbon trim should not be confused with genuine factory options.

AIRMATIC and Suspension Problems

Many E-Class, S-Class, G-Class, and AMG vehicles use air suspension.

AIRMATIC provides excellent comfort and allows the vehicle to maintain its ride height under different loads. On AMG models, it can also support more aggressive handling modes.

As the vehicle ages, air struts, compressors, valve blocks, sensors, hoses, and control units may require replacement.

Warning signs include:

  • One corner sitting lower than the others
  • The car dropping after being parked
  • A compressor running too frequently
  • Suspension warning messages
  • A harsh or bouncy ride
  • Slow changes in ride height
  • Fluid leakage on models with more advanced hydraulic systems

The vehicle should ideally be inspected after sitting overnight, not only immediately after the engine has been started.

On a G-Class, suspension modifications and oversized wheels can create additional stress. Confirm whether the suspension is original and whether any aftermarket work was performed properly.

Where to Find Used Mercedes-Benz Vehicles in Japan

High-end Mercedes-Benz vehicles can be sourced through Loginet’s curated inventory, official certified dealerships, independent luxury-car dealers, public Japanese listing websites, and dealer-only auctions.

Loginet’s Curated Japanese Inventory

The easiest place to start is the Loginet website, where we curate some of the best Mercedes-Benz, Mercedes-AMG, and other high-end vehicles currently available across Japan.

Listings are translated into English and selected with overseas buyers in mind. This makes the process much easier than searching Japanese-only platforms and trying to interpret incomplete dealer descriptions.

If you find a car you are interested in, our team can confirm availability, contact the seller, check the specification, request additional information, arrange an inspection, and prepare an export and shipping estimate for your country.

Car Sensor

Car Sensor is one of Japan’s largest used-car listing platforms.

It carries a large selection of E-Class, S-Class, G-Class, AMG, and Maybach vehicles from dealerships throughout the country.

It is useful for comparing model years, mileage, equipment, colours, and Japanese retail asking prices.

The main disadvantage is that the platform is designed primarily for domestic Japanese buyers. Listings may be in Japanese, equipment descriptions can vary in accuracy, and many dealerships are not set up to communicate with overseas customers.

Goo-net

Goo-net is another major Japanese used-car platform.

It currently lists hundreds of S-Class vehicles and a broad range of E-Class, G-Class, AMG, and other Mercedes-Benz models.

Goo-net is useful for understanding retail availability and identifying cars at independent dealers, authorised dealerships, and specialist luxury-car businesses.

As with Car Sensor, the advertised price is usually a Japanese retail price and may not include export preparation or shipping.

Dealer-Only Auctions

Japanese dealer auctions can offer access to a much larger supply of Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

The main auction networks include:

USS Auto Auction

USS is Japan’s largest dealer-auction group. USS Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya, Osaka, Kobe, and other large venues regularly handle Mercedes-Benz, AMG, G-Class, Maybach, and European luxury vehicles.

TAA and CAA

Toyota Auto Auction and CAA receive many dealership trade-ins and can be useful for finding well-maintained E-Class, S-Class, and G-Class vehicles.

JU Auto Auction

JU auctions operate throughout Japan and handle cars submitted by regional dealers. Inventory can include older luxury vehicles and unusual specifications that do not always appear at the largest auction houses.

Arai Auction

Arai can be useful for specialist, imported, luxury, and high-value vehicles depending on the venue and auction week.

BayAuc

BayAuc in the Kansai region regularly handles imported and luxury cars and can be a useful source for Mercedes-Benz vehicles around Osaka and Kobe.

Unlike rare supercars, Mercedes-Benz vehicles appear at auction in large numbers. The challenge is not finding one. It is filtering the market and identifying the best individual car.

What to Check on a Japanese Mercedes-Benz Auction Sheet

Auction sheets are useful, but they do not replace a detailed mechanical inspection.

Look carefully for notes concerning:

  • Engine or transmission warnings
  • Suspension warnings
  • Vehicle sitting low
  • Oil or coolant leaks
  • Diesel emissions faults
  • Hybrid-system warnings
  • Check-engine light
  • Air-conditioning problems
  • Panoramic-roof faults
  • Seat-control faults
  • Electrical issues
  • Missing navigation data
  • Damaged wheels
  • Old or mismatched tyres
  • Underbody damage
  • Accident repairs
  • Replacement panels
  • Rust or corrosion
  • Flood history
  • Missing service books
  • Missing spare key
  • Aftermarket suspension
  • Modified exhaust
  • ECU tuning
  • Non-original wheels

Terms such as 修復歴あり indicate repair history. Notes involving pillars, floor sections, chassis rails, or structural areas need careful investigation.

Auction inspectors may identify a warning but will not necessarily diagnose the cause. Additional photographs, cold-start video, diagnostic scans, road testing, and underside inspection can all be worthwhile.

How to Import a Mercedes-Benz from Japan with Loginet

Importing a high-end Mercedes-Benz is easier when the exporter understands both Japanese sourcing and the technical differences between models.

At Loginet, we can help buyers search for E-Class, S-Class, G-Class, Mercedes-AMG, and Mercedes-Maybach vehicles through our curated inventory, dealer-only auctions, authorised retailers, and specialist dealerships.

If you already found a car online, our team can contact the seller, confirm availability, translate the listing, request service history, verify the specification, and arrange additional photographs or inspections.

Once the car is purchased, Loginet can assist with inland transportation, export deregistration, customs documentation, photography, servicing, detailing, repairs, marine insurance, and international shipping.

RoRo shipping is often the most economical option for standard E-Class and S-Class models. Container shipping may make more sense for high-value G 63, Maybach, limited-edition AMG, or collector vehicles.

The buyer should confirm local import eligibility, registration, taxes, emissions requirements, and warranty support before purchase.

Are Japanese Used Mercedes-Benz Vehicles a Good Deal?

They can be, especially when the car is selected carefully.

The E-Class offers strong value for buyers who want comfort, technology, and everyday usability.

The S-Class can offer enormous luxury for the purchase price, but maintenance costs remain those of a flagship vehicle.

The G-Class usually costs more but benefits from strong global recognition and resale demand.

AMG and Maybach vehicles can be excellent opportunities when they have clear history, desirable equipment, and no unresolved mechanical issues.

A strong export candidate will normally have:

  • Clear service history
  • No major accident damage
  • No unresolved warning lights
  • Correct suspension operation
  • Healthy engine and transmission
  • Working luxury equipment
  • Good tyres and brakes
  • Both keys
  • Original specification or quality modifications
  • Confirmed import eligibility
  • Enough price advantage to justify shipping and taxes

The cheapest car is rarely the best value.

A slightly more expensive vehicle with official history, recent servicing, healthy suspension, good tyres, and no dashboard warnings may save a substantial amount after arrival.

Why Importers Are Paying Attention Now

Japan’s high-end Mercedes-Benz market offers something for several types of buyers.

The E-Class provides a relatively affordable entry into premium German luxury. The S-Class offers flagship comfort at a fraction of its original price. The G-Class remains one of the most desirable luxury SUVs in the world, while AMG and Maybach versions add performance, rarity, and stronger showroom appeal.

Japan also offers both steering positions, numerous limited editions, extensive dealer inventory, and a mature auction system.

For dealers, Mercedes-Benz vehicles are easy for customers to recognise. An E 63 wagon, S 63, G 63, or Maybach can attract immediate attention online or in a showroom.

For private buyers, the appeal is straightforward. They can access a well-equipped, carefully maintained luxury vehicle from Japan, often with lower mileage or a more interesting specification than they could find locally.The opportunity is real, but the condition of the individual car remains more important than the badge or auction price.

Common Questions About Importing a Mercedes-Benz from Japan

Is it cheaper to import a Mercedes-Benz from Japan?

It can be. E-Class and S-Class vehicles often experience substantial depreciation in Japan, while clean, low-mileage cars may still be available. Buyers should compare the complete landed cost, including shipping, insurance, duty, tax, registration, servicing, and possible repairs.

Which Mercedes-Benz is best to import from Japan?

The E-Class is one of the best all-round options because it balances comfort, price, practicality, and resale demand. The S-Class offers the most luxury for the money, while the G-Class and AMG G 63 generally have the strongest international appeal.

How much does a used E-Class cost in Japan?

Prices vary significantly by generation. Older W212 cars can be relatively inexpensive, W213 examples sit higher depending on year and specification, and current W214 models generally average around the low-¥8 million range.

How much does a used S-Class cost in Japan?

Current-generation W223 S-Class vehicles are generally listed from approximately ¥6 million to more than ¥19 million. Previous-generation W222 cars can be considerably cheaper, depending on engine, mileage, body length, options, and condition.

How much does a used Mercedes-AMG G 63 cost in Japan?

Many newer G 63 examples are listed around ¥23 million to ¥24 million on average. Earlier versions may average closer to ¥18 million, while limited editions and exceptional cars can cost significantly more.

Are Japanese Mercedes-Benz vehicles right-hand drive?

Most are right-hand drive, but Japan also has a large supply of left-hand-drive S-Class, G-Class, AMG, and Maybach vehicles.

Is AMG Line the same as Mercedes-AMG?

No. AMG Line is generally an appearance and equipment package. Full Mercedes-AMG models have AMG-specific engines, drivetrains, suspension, brakes, exhaust systems, and performance tuning.

Which countries import Mercedes-Benz vehicles from Japan?

Potential markets include the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia, Ireland, Malta, Cyprus, parts of Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean. Import eligibility and taxes vary by country.

What problems should buyers check on a used S-Class?

Important areas include air suspension, electrical systems, powered seats, rear-seat equipment, panoramic roofs, soft-close doors, cooling systems, batteries, driver-assistance equipment, and complete service history.

What should buyers check on a used G-Class?

Check accident history, chassis and underbody condition, differential and four-wheel-drive operation, suspension, steering, oil leaks, door hinges, corrosion, tyres, aftermarket modifications, and service records.

Are diesel Mercedes-Benz vehicles good to import?

They can be. Diesel E-Class, S-Class, and G-Class models offer strong torque and good fuel economy. Buyers should inspect the diesel particulate filter, AdBlue system, NOx sensors, EGR system, turbocharger, and emissions compatibility for the destination country.

Does a Japanese Mercedes-Benz warranty transfer overseas?

Not necessarily. Mercedes-Benz Japan’s certified-used warranty is provided under Japanese programme terms. Overseas support depends on the vehicle, original market, destination country, and local Mercedes-Benz dealer.

Can Loginet buy a Mercedes-Benz from a Japanese auction?

Yes. Loginet can search upcoming auctions, review auction sheets, translate condition reports, arrange inspections, bid on the vehicle, organise inland transportation, complete export documentation, and arrange international shipping.
