Frequently asked questions

Is the Axela / Mazda3 (BM/BY) available from Japan's auctions?

Yes. Japan's USS auction network is one of the largest used-car markets in the world. A licensed dealer checks current inventory and shortlists cars that match your requirement — no random classifieds.

Does the Axela / Mazda3 (BM/BY) come right-hand drive from Japan?

Japan is a right-hand-drive market, so most auction stock is RHD. If your country requires RHD, Japanese sourcing is ideal. LHD units occasionally appear but are rare; our team confirms steering before you approve any bid.

Do I need to pay a deposit to enquire about the Axela / Mazda3 (BM/BY)?

No upfront deposit is required. You can ask Tomo anything, explore price bands, and get a landed-cost estimate completely free. A small, refundable fee is only ever requested by a human team member later — and only when warranted.
