Why Is Your Record Not Found?
Not all auction records are published to online databases. There are several reasons your chassis may not show up in an automated search:
Old Auction Record
Records from older auctions may not have been digitised and uploaded to online systems
Private Auction Houses
Some smaller regional auction houses in Japan keep records internal and do not publish online
Timing Issue
Recently auctioned vehicles may not yet appear — the data upload can lag by days or weeks
Different Database
The vehicle may be in a different regional archive that standard automated checks don't cover
Export Certificate
Some records are only accessible when cross-referenced with the vehicle's export certificate
Chassis Format
Minor differences in how the chassis was recorded can cause automated searches to miss the record
What can you receive from a manual search?
Depending on what the auction house has on record, we can retrieve one or more of the following:
Full Auction Sheet
Complete inspection report with all damage marks and grades
Vehicle Photos
Original photos taken at the auction house in Japan
Sheet Only
Detailed auction report without photos if photos unavailable
100% Money-Back Guarantee
If our team is unable to locate any record for your chassis from the auction archives, we will issue a full refund. No questions asked. We only keep your payment when we deliver results.
How does the manual search work?
Submit Your Chassis
Enter your chassis number and complete the $35 payment. Include any additional details you have such as the auction house name, export certificate, or purchase date — this speeds up the search.
