Why we buy cars that were told they 'won't sell anymore'

"This car doesn't have any value anymore."

This is a story about when a customer was told that by another company.

That car was over 10 years old and had over 100,000 km on the odometer.
Furthermore, the air conditioner was broken, and honestly, it could not be called in 'good condition'.

However, that customer said this:

"I've been driving it since my children were small, and it's packed with memories."

That one sentence left a deep impression on me.

A car is not just a 'thing'.

We work in the business of appraising cars every day.

The model year, mileage, scratches, and condition.

Of course, those are important too.

But we believe that is not all there is to it.

・Memories of family outings
・The time spent working hard
・A presence that shared the milestones of life

A car is packed with a person's 'time'.

Even a car that was told it has 'no value' has value.

In fact, that car was told it had no value by another company.

However, we performed a thorough appraisal and
properly assigned a price to it.

The reason is,

・Value as parts
・Demand overseas
・There are people who need it

Because there is this 'other value'.

To the next person who needs it

The cars we purchase
are delivered to someone else once again.

People who are struggling because they cannot get a loan,
or people who need a car for their daily lives.

For those people,
that car can sometimes become a 'source of hope'.

Finally

'Because it's too old'
'Because it has high mileage'

Before you give up because of things like that,

even if it's just once,
I would like you to consult with someone who will take a proper look at it.

Your car
might still have value remaining.

And that value
might support someone else's life next.

If you are even slightly interested, please feel free to consult with us.
