TradeCarView
Reviews and Complaints

I recently had a really bad time with Japan Partner Inc. I gotta say, this company is a total scam and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, not even my worst enemy. They have this user agreement that basically lets them get away with scamming people and there's nothing you can do about it. If you don't want to lose your money and your mind, stay away from these guys. They'll take your money and then just keep frustrating you until you give up on whatever it was you were trying to buy from them. Seriously, don't say I didn't warn you!

I recently had an experience with TradeCarView and unfortunately it was not a positive one. I had arranged to collect my car from Southampton Docks and upon inspection, I noticed that the door trim was damaged and the paint had been scraped off the plastic moulding along the entire length of the car. Additionally, there were scrape marks on the rear bumper and the gear knob and radio volume button were missing. These faults were not mentioned in the car advertising and I was quite disappointed.

I tried to contact TradeCarView via their email system, which had worked before I took delivery of the car. However, I have not received any response from them since then. This lack of communication has been frustrating and has left me feeling quite helpless.

To make matters worse, I was informed that the car had been shipped in June, but upon further inquiry, I discovered that it was only shipped in July. This delay has caused me a lot of inconvenience and has made me question the reliability of TradeCarView.

Overall, my experience with TradeCarView has been disappointing and I would not recommend them to others. The lack of communication and the undisclosed faults in the car have left me feeling dissatisfied with my purchase.

I gotta say, I was pretty impressed with how fast the seller shipped my car from TradeCarView. I mean, I was trying to avoid having to pay for an inspection through PayTrade, but it didn't even matter because the seller shipped it off before anyone could even take a look at it. And then, to make matters worse, the car had a history of accidents that the seller conveniently forgot to mention. So now I had to shell out an extra $1750 just to get it compliant with NZ Roads. Let me tell you, this trader is not to be trusted. They're dishonest and I wouldn't recommend trading with them again. Honestly, I'm not even sure if I want to use this website again after this experience. It's just not worth the risk.

I recently stumbled upon TradeCarView and I gotta say, it's like an eBay for JDM cars! This site claims that they care about your satisfaction, but the terms and conditions are written in a way that protects them from any responsibility. However, they do have some scam protection systems in place that can help you out if you don't receive your vehicle at all.

If you're looking for a used car from Japan, TradeCarView is definitely a great place to start. However, I do have to say that the buyer protection isn't the best. So, before you make any purchases, make sure to do your research outside of TradeCarView to ensure that you're dealing with a legit seller.

Overall, I think TradeCarView is a solid platform for buying used cars from Japan. Just make sure to be cautious and do your due diligence before making any purchases.

TradeCarView (tradecarview.com) is a website that has a lot of car exporters on it. They give gold stars to some of the exporters and say that they are verified business members for two years. However, if you use one of these exporters and get ripped off, you won't be able to contact them. They won't reply to your emails. We had to call another car exporter in Japan to ask how to contact TradeCarView. When we finally got through to them, they didn't seem to care that we had been ripped off. They told us to wait another month for the exporter to contact us. We only used 41export because they were on TradeCarView and were a verified valued member. Their English is terrible and their attitude is even worse. I would never use them again.

I want to share my experience with TradeCarView, a website where you can buy cars from Japan. I bought a 2004 Hilux Vigo in October 2014 through an agent named Victor. I have to warn you, be careful with this guy. When I received the proforma invoice payment of the agreed price, he demanded an extra US$2000 before he could release the B/L. I was not happy about it, but I paid it anyway because I really wanted the car.

When the car arrived, I was disappointed to find out that it had a dent which was not revealed in the photos. It also arrived with no jack or wheel spanner. To top it all off, it had an immobilizer which was not revealed in the details and photos. The immobilizer went off by accident and there were no reset keys supplied. I contacted Victor, but he said he couldn't find the previous owner.

I have to say, I was really disappointed with the whole experience. Victor and his company should have been more transparent about the condition of the car. I feel like I was taken advantage of. If you're reading this review, Victor, or whoever you are, this is my rating for you and your company: "YOU ARE SICK."

Overall, I would say that TradeCarView is a good website to buy cars from Japan, but you have to be careful with the agents you deal with. Make sure you do your research and ask a lot of questions before you buy anything. Don't make the same mistake I did.

I recently had an experience with TradeCarView that left me feeling quite disappointed. I had purchased a car from them with the guarantee of a Warrant of Fitness in New Zealand. However, when the car arrived, it was clear that it had been damaged in some way. Even though it had passed inspection, my Compliance Center informed me that they had never seen such a rusted vehicle before. It is possible that it was a tsunami damaged vehicle.

I tried to contact TradeCarView numerous times via email, but each time I was directed to fill out a complaint form on their portal. Unfortunately, no action was taken by them and they eventually stopped replying altogether. I even tried calling them a few times, but each time I was met with a new operator whose English was extremely poor. It was frustrating to try and communicate with them, as they simply repeated their sentence about filling out the complaint form on the site.

I followed up on this issue for almost 8 months, but eventually had to give up as it was affecting my peace of mind. It's a shame that TradeCarView did not take responsibility for their mistake and instead chose to ignore my complaints. In my opinion, they are cheats and I would not recommend doing business with them.

I recently used the payment service on tradecarview.com to import a car to Kenya. I sent the money to their bank account and my bank confirmed that the transaction was completed. However, trade car view Kenya did not receive the money for many days. I had to call their bank in Muthaiga twice and follow up every day. Four days later, they finally confirmed over the phone that they had received the money.

The process of confirming the money reception to the seller was a nightmare and took an endless amount of waiting time. As I write this review, the seller still has not received confirmation of the money being received by carview. I am hoping that with more follow-ups and phone calls, there might be a slight change.

Overall, my experience with tradecarview.com was not the smoothest. The delay in confirming the money reception caused a lot of stress and anxiety. However, I do appreciate the fact that they have a payment service available for international transactions. It is important to note that there may be delays and complications when using this service, so it is important to be patient and persistent in following up.

In terms of the website itself, I found it to be user-friendly and easy to navigate. The search filters were helpful in finding the specific car I was looking for. The photos and descriptions of the cars were accurate and detailed.

In conclusion, while my experience with the payment service on tradecarview.com was not perfect, I still recommend the website for its user-friendly interface and helpful search filters. However, it is important to be aware of the potential delays and complications that may arise when using their payment service.

I have had a terrible experience with TradeCarView. It seems like everyone on there is trying to be a dealer, but most of them are just rookies trying to rip people off. I recently found out that the company called C. T. G Group buys cars from Japanese auctions, winds back the kilometers to almost half, and then puts them up for sale on TradeCarView. I wouldn't be surprised if the rest of them are doing the same thing.

I would never recommend this site to anyone, not even my worst enemy. I have even heard that they just take pictures from other dealer sites and ship you a similar car or even a different color. And that's IF they even ship you a car at all! It's a complete scam, and I can't believe that people are still falling for it.

I have been scammed by TradeCarView, and I don't want anyone else to go through the same thing. It's a shame that there are so many dishonest people out there trying to take advantage of others. If you're thinking about buying a car from TradeCarView, I would strongly advise against it. You're better off going to a reputable dealer and paying a little extra for peace of mind.

I gotta say, folks, you gotta watch out for TradeCarView. I thought I was getting a sweet deal on a 2003 ride with only 91,000 clicks on the odometer. But when the car finally arrived, it was a 2000 model with over 96,000 miles on it back in 2003. Can you believe it? The seller, MNE, tried to pull a fast one on me by saying it was registered in Japan in 2003, so that's how they advertised the year. But I asked them at least 5 times if it was really 91,000 kilometers, and they said yes every time. What a bunch of liars!

And get this, when the car finally showed up, the odometer had been tampered with and it was clearly over 250,000 miles. The air conditioning was busted, the seats were ripped, the dashboard was peeling, the brakes were shot, and the rear tires were two sizes too small. It was a total mess, folks. And when I tried to get TradeCarView to help me out, they just kept telling me to deal with the seller. What kind of customer service is that?

So let me tell you, if you're thinking about buying a car from TradeCarView, you better think twice. They don't respond to claims, and they don't take responsibility for their sellers' fraud and misrepresentation. It's a real shame, because I thought I was getting a good deal, but it turned out to be a total nightmare. Buyer beware, folks. Don't make the same mistake I did.

Hello, My name is Elizabeth from Jeytee Car Sales and Importers. I registered the Company on February 2017 after quitting from SBT Japan Nairobi Office where i was an Account Manager for 3 and a half years. Between April 9th and 20th of this year, i bought a Harrier and a Fielder worth 26, 500 USD from Every Co which were listed as an In-Stock. I got the company though Trade car view but the owner preferred i deal with him direct. After making 100% Payment to the owner of the Company Mr Watabe, he promised to ship both units on 29th of April. He never shipped the cars and from there it has been lying stories after the other which he gives through whatsapp texts since he never picks the calls. I came to meet other five clients who has been a victim of Watabe's fraud before. Once he gets the money, he quits to answer your calls and communicate through whatsapp texts. To the lucky ones he refunds half the money after pushing for more than one year or sends wrecks of cars which you never paid for.I have supporting documents from his past victims. My clients has reported me go the Police and am at the verge of being taken to court for fraud. I request you kindly to assist me get my client's refund since he don't even have the cars which i paid for. He puts other dealers cars on his website at a cheap price to entice unsuspecting and clueless clients. Once you make the payments, you are left with the agony of dealing with Police and court cases in your Country as he sits somewhere in Japan enjoying your clients money and move on to the next target as if nothing happened. I request you also to pull him out of Tradecarview site and save many Kenyans from this fraudster.
HIS number is +[protected] Watabe Yuishiro
MY NUMBER IS +[protected] Elizabeth.
These are the cars i bought from him.

I bought used car from the company www.tradecarview.com. I understand that I have bought used car and it can have some problems, but when I saw my car, I was shocked. The car looked like piece of metal and I thought that it would be impossible to drive. I tried to call the seller, but his phone was switched off. The same situation was later. This person simply ripped me off and vanished somewhere. Don’t buy through this website.

Stay away from the company www.tradecarview.com. I collected it yesterday, but the bumper was damaged. The paint on the car was dismounted. I looked at the car and I was in shock, because I paid good price for this piece of rubbish. I tried to email the seller, but no one replied to my emails. I was so upset and of course tried all attempts to reach them, but everything was useless. Don’t buy cars from them.

Tradecarview.com claim that all seller in their list are reliable, but not a single company in their list is verified by japan company trust organization (jcto) which is an anti-fraud organization in japan.

My advice is do not send money to any tradecarview.com recommended company. they all are scams and cannot passed jcto scrutiny. be careful.

They all wanna be dealers. most are rookies sitting there to rip people off. and I can confirm that the company called c. t. g group buy cars from jap auctions wind back the kilometers to almost half and put it up for sale on tradecarview. I wont be shocked if the rest of them are doing the same. I wouldn't recommend my enemy to buy from this site. I have even heard they just take any pictures from other dealer sites and ship you a similar car or even different colors and thats if they ship you a car for your money at all!

TradeCarview has not put in sufficient anti-fraud measures on their site ( http://www.tradecarview.com). Their paytrade system is optional and therefore sellers are free to defraud their clients. I demand a refund from them for the behaviour of unidentifiable seller -Mashodah Automobile.

I purchased a used Subaru Forester from Value Planner (Raewang Cho) Japan in February 2011. I was not informed of any damage on the vehicle. It arrived in my country in April 2011. On arrival on the port of entry in my country I realised that the radiator was leaking. I took pictures and sent it back to the company asking that they replaced the radiator. However Value Planner refused to take responsiblity for the damaged radiator and thus refuse to replace same.
