Custom Order Terms
Deposit Required to Begin
A $2,000 CAD deposit is required upfront before any sourcing begins. This deposit unlocks active sourcing at Japanese auctions and dealer networks, vehicle presentation as we find options, and auction bidding once you approve a specific vehicle. Once active sourcing has begun (typically the same day we receive the deposit), the deposit becomes non-refundable.
Payment Schedule
- $2,000 CAD deposit — to begin sourcing.
- 50% of total landed price — due once we secure (win) the vehicle. Your deposit credits toward this 50%.
- Remaining balance — due once the vehicle clears Canadian customs.
Total Landed Price
The total landed price quoted to you includes:
- Vehicle hammer price
- Auction fees
- Japanese inland transport
- Ocean shipping to Canada
- Customs clearance
- Inland transport to our shop in Grande Prairie, Alberta
- Out-of-province inspection
- Pre-delivery service (fluids, filters, safety inspection, any necessary repairs)
Refund Conditions
The $2,000 deposit is non-refundable once active sourcing has begun (typically the same day as deposit receipt). It is refundable only in the brief window between deposit receipt and the start of active sourcing. If we win at auction, your deposit applies as credit toward the total landed price. If we lose an auction on a vehicle you approved, your deposit stays committed for the next bid in the queue. The money-back guarantee on the vehicle itself is preserved separately — see below.
Money-Back Guarantee
If the vehicle arrives in materially different condition than described in the auction sheet or our pre-purchase summary, you receive a full refund of all payments made (deposit + 50% + balance, if paid). You are not obligated to accept a vehicle that doesn't match what was promised.
Timeline
Custom-ordered vehicles typically take 6 to 8 weeks from auction win in Japan to delivery at our shop in Grande Prairie, Alberta. This includes Japanese inland transport, ocean shipping (typically Vancouver port), customs clearance, and inland transport to our shop.
Pre-Delivery Service
Every vehicle is fully serviced before delivery: oil change, fluids, filters, safety inspection, and any necessary repairs identified during our inspection. You receive the vehicle ready to drive and registered.
Parts at Cost
As an existing customer, you have access to all our kei truck and JDM parts inventory at our cost (no markup) for the lifetime of the vehicle. Whether it's routine maintenance or a future repair, you pay what we paid.
Warranty
All custom-ordered vehicles include a minimum 2-month warranty covering drivetrain and major systems. Extended warranty options available.
Payment Methods
Deposit, 50% milestone, and final balance accepted via Visa, Mastercard, e-Transfer, or wire transfer. Payment plans available for established customers.
