What to check on the auction sheet

Pickup import rules vary. Country pickup rules. Always confirm the auction-sheet grade, the inspector’s interior/exterior map, and the service history before any bid is placed. On a diesel, check DPF/EGR condition and cold-start behaviour. On a 4WD, verify the transfer case, drivetrain and underbody for off-road wear. At higher mileage, prioritise timing-belt/chain, suspension and maintenance records.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a used Toyota Hilux cost in Japan?

Roughly $20,000–$30,000 FOB at Japanese auction for 2018–2022 examples (estimate, as of 2026-07-01). Generation, auction grade and mileage decide where a car falls in that range. Shipping, insurance, duty and local taxes are added on top.

Does the Hilux come right-hand drive from Japan?

Japan drives on the left, so Japanese-market examples of the Toyota Hilux are right-hand drive. Check that your country accepts right-hand-drive imports before you buy. We do not convert steering.

Is the Hilux available from Japan's auctions?

Usually, yes. Japan's auction houses, of which USS is the largest network, sell tens of thousands of used cars every week, and a licensed member can read each car's auction sheet before bidding. The number of Hilux cars listed varies from week to week.
