Toyota VITZ

What I like most is that the car is simple, clean and useful. It is not a brand-new vehicle, so some little imperfections can be seen on the exterior. Mechanically the car gives a good impression. SAT Japan was helpful in giving me an option to choose the type of vehicle I wanted. I am satisfied with the result and would recommend checking their stock before making a final decision.

Toyota SUCCEED VAN

I received a vehicle which is practical and looking nice. Inside and outside there is some normal wear, especially few small scratches, but the important thing for me is the car looks solid and suitable for daily driving. My experience with SAT Japan was positive. They give many choices and I could find something that fit my budget. Not perfect car, but good purchase.

The car is very good for the money. I like the clean look and the Toyota condition is better than I was expecting. There are some small marks on the body and little signs of use, but nothing serious. SAT Japan made the buying process feel more comfortable for me because the information was easy to follow. Overall I am happy with this purchase and I would consider buying another car through SAT Japan again.

Nissan NOTE

I like this Nissan Note because it looks practical without being too large. The body has a few signs that it is a used vehicle, which I expected, but overall the car presents well in the photo. For the price and purpose, I feel this was a good decision.
