Used cars from Japan by body type: a guide for dealers

Key takeaways

  • Choose body types according to local demand, import rules and expected resale margin.
  • Minivans primarily serve passenger demand, while vans may be configured for cargo, passenger or mixed commercial use.
  • Confirm registered seats, dimensions, drivetrain and payload from vehicle data rather than appearance alone.
  • Vehicle size, weight and classification can affect shipping, duties and registration costs.

A mixed inventory can reduce dependence on one buyer segment when it reflects actual sales data.
