JCauc will re-auction the vehicle in Japan and use the deposit paid towards the costs of re-auction. Any money remaining from the sale of the vehicle shall be refunded to You. In the event that the deposit does not cover the costs of re-auction, then JCauc may take legal action against you to recover outstanding costs resulting from non-payment.

Acceptance of your bid

At JCauc, we will accept your bid on the condition that the auction sheet does not state anything about the vehicle mechanically or structurally that would make it unacceptable quality. If we have doubts about the quality of the vehicle, we will give you the translation of the auction sheet and wait for your response to it before bidding.
