Why Carbarn checks before bidding

Our Japan-side team reviews the auction sheet, photos and available inspection findings for any condition or import-eligibility issue with this specific vehicle — the kind a standard auction listing won't show. If something would affect it, we contact you on WhatsApp before the final bid, and no bid is placed in Japan without your go-ahead. Malta also requires a pre-export inspection certificate (SVA) before the vehicle can be cleared — Carbarn arranges it in Japan as part of the shipment.
