RU Japan review: Vehicle purchase
My wife and I started the process of purchasing a vehicle from RU Japan in October 2022. After we paid the initial deposit, we were informed that the vehicle that we paid for had been sold and a replacement vehicle would be identified. Since then, it has been a most horrible experience. We finally asked for a refund of our money in December and it has not been forthcoming. We have heard excuse after excuse from them and quite frankly I am now beginning to believe that this company is a scam.
Country of complaint: Japan
Website: ru-japan.com
Desired outcome: I would like a refund of the USD $2000.00 that has been paid to the company

Dear Alexia Pommels and Vaughn Pinnock
We have meticulously examined your recent grievance regarding your interaction with RU Japan and would like to provide you with a comprehensive update on the matter.
With respect to the initial vehicle selection for which you tendered a deposit, regrettably, it had already been transacted before we could secure it on your behalf. This circumstance arises from the inherent dynamism within the automotive auction arena.
We would like to affirm that your refund has been processed in accordance with our company's established protocol, a confirmation of which is substantiated by the enclosed source document.
We duly acknowledge your active participation in the auction process, during which you placed bids on multiple units, as per your specific request for vehicle acquisition. However, it's paramount to recognize that our ability to secure precise vehicles is contingent upon a multitude of variables, encompassing auction outcomes and the availability of the units in question.
In this context, it is essential to note that you emerged as the successful bidder for two units. Regrettably, it has come to our attention that you have opted not to proceed with the acquisition of these vehicles. Nevertheless, in accordance with your explicit request, we have diligently processed the associated refunds.
We approach this situation with unwavering professionalism and an earnest commitment to resolving your concerns promptly. We encourage you to acknowledge that the matter has been effectively resolved. If any further inquiries or issues necessitate attention, we extend a cordial invitation for direct communication with us.
Sincerely,
Moiz Siddiqui

Very Disappointing Experience with RU Car Japan**
I would not recommend RU Car Japan based on my personal experience. I was planning to purchase a car through them, but due to unexpected family circumstances, I had to cancel the purchase and requested a refund of my money.
Unfortunately, instead of resolving the matter professionally and processing my refund, I have been met with repeated excuses and delays. **It has now been 5 months, and I am still waiting for my money back.**
Family emergencies can happen to anyone, and I believe a company's professionalism is truly tested by how it treats customers when unexpected situations arise. Keeping a customer's money for five months without resolving the refund issue is extremely frustrating and disappointing.
I have tried to be patient, but this situation has gone on for far too long. Customers deserve clear communication, honesty, and, most importantly, a proper resolution when they request a refund.
**I am leaving this review to share my experience and to warn other potential customers to be cautious.** I sincerely hope RU Car Japan takes this matter seriously, stops making excuses, and finally returns my money.
Until this issue is resolved, I cannot recommend this company based on my experience.
