Subaru R1

Ha sido excelente; recibí más de lo que esperaba. Fue un proceso sencillo de principio a fin. El concesionario que me vendió mi Subaru R2 estaba muy pulido y se comunicaba bien.

Toyota COROLLA FIELDER

This Corolla Fielder Hybrid is exactly useful type of vehicle. The buying steps through SAT Japan were clear from payment until export documents. I did not need to chase different people every day. Car arrived looking sharp and drives better than I was expecting. Good machine for business and normal home use both.

Mitsubishi OUTLANDER

At first I was not fully sure about buying vehicle without seeing it physically. I asked many questions, maybe too many, but SAT Japan support answered patiently and showed me enough details. Now after driving the Outlander, I understand why people like it. It feels strong on rough road, seating position is good and cabin remains comfortable for longer drive. One seat had a light worn area, but mechanically the car feels solid. I am happy that I took the chance.

Toyota VOXY

My family was becoming too crowded in our old car, especially when travelling with bags. After getting this Toyota Voxy, everyone now sits comfortable and no more fighting for space. The doors and high roof make entry easy for children and older people also. Shipment took few days longer than first estimate, but SAT Japan customer team explained the reason instead of keeping silent.

Nissan NOTE

I needed small car which is easy for town but still comfortable for daily use. Nissan Note is doing this job very well. There was one tiny mark on the interior plastic, nothing serious for used vehicle. SAT Japan prepared the documents properly, so registration side was not giving me big headache. Overall a sensible purchase and car runs nicely.

Toyota HIACE VAN

Running a transport business needs a dependable vehicle, and this Toyota Hiace has exceeded my expectations from the first week. The engine is powerful, cargo space is excellent, and the suspension handles rough roads much better than I imagined. What impressed me most was not only the vehicle but also how SAT Japan handled the entire buying experience. They stayed in communication from purchase until shipping and always answered my concerns professionally. I saw a little fading on one plastic interior panel, but for a used van this is completely normal and has no effect on performance. The overall quality, reliability, and customer support were outstanding. I will confidently recommend SAT Japan to anyone planning to import a vehicle.

Nissan NOTE

Before buying this Nissan Note, I compared many dealers, but finally I selected SAT Japan because they replied quickly and explained every document in simple language. That gave me confidence during the import process. After receiving the car, I found it even better than I expected. The hybrid system saves a lot of fuel, the steering is light, and the interior feels comfortable for daily use. There is a tiny paint chip near one door edge, but it is very difficult to notice and does not reduce the value of the vehicle. Overall, I received honest service and a reliable car that meets all my needs.

Mitsubishi DELICA D2

I bought this Mitsubishi Delica for family travel, and it has been an excellent choice. The cabin is spacious, the seats are comfortable, and driving feels very stable even on longer journeys. One reason I trusted SAT Japan was their detailed inspection report. It helped me understand the vehicle condition before making payment, and everything matched after delivery. I noticed one interior trim has slight wear because it is a used vehicle, but that is completely acceptable. My family is enjoying every trip. I would happily buy from SAT Japan again.
