Why Carbarn Is Different

After your deposit, a Carbarn inspector goes to your exact car in Japan and sends real photos to your WhatsApp — before any bid is placed. You see the underbody, the hidden repairs, the real condition. You decide: bid or skip. Around that, we filter every vehicle for Australian import eligibility and show landed, complied pricing in AUD. You confirm. Then we bid.

Our biggest difference

Real inspection photos to your WhatsApp — before we bid

Auction photos are taken to sell the car. Our inspector photographs what they never show: underbody, rust, hidden repairs, interior condition. Don't like what we find? Skip — your deposit is refunded, or moves to your next car.

Japan-Side Physical Inspection and Extra Photos

Auction photos and auction grades are useful, but they do not always show every defect. After your deposit, a Carbarn inspector attends the car at the auction house and sends real photos — underbody, paint, interior — before any final bid is submitted.

Background for Australian buyers bidding in Japan

Bid on Japanese Auction Cars That Can Be Imported to Australia

This page is designed for buyers who want to bid on vehicles in Japan auctions and bring them to Australia. Carbarn does not show every auction vehicle from Japan. The feed is filtered so customers see vehicles that match Australian import eligibility rules or need only limited confirmation before proceeding.

Why Import Eligibility Comes First

Not every Japanese auction car can be imported to Australia. Model code, build month, vehicle type, pathway and compliance rules matter before a bid is placed. Carbarn's system is designed to filter vehicles against Australian import eligibility before they are shown to customers.

Bid Deposit and Auction Result

A deposit is required before Carbarn proceeds with a bid instruction. If the customer does not win the auction, the deposit can be made available for another auction vehicle or refunded according to Carbarn's process.

Place a Bid Deposit with a Controlled Review Process

After reviewing the vehicle and cost breakdown, the customer can place a bid deposit to secure the next step. Carbarn then checks the final vehicle details, auction sheet, import eligibility and available inspection/photo findings before final bid submission. If the vehicle should not proceed, the deposit can be moved to another suitable auction vehicle or refunded according to Carbarn policy and payment method rules.
