How does one go about finding and buying a pre-owned Lexus anyway? Here are the steps:
1. Go to an online marketplace of used cars such as tradecarview used car website. These sites have listings of pre-owned vehicles for sale as listed by Japanese exporters, and they will have plenty of Lexus choices for you to check out.
2. You can type in the Lexus model you are looking for in the search box.
3. The search results will show all of the cars that fit with the description you have specified. If there are too many, you can narrow down your search by providing a specific model year, engine displacement, left or right-hand drive, and even your price range.
4. Look through the results and do more searches until you find a used Lexus in Japan you are interested in. Browsing around the site is free but you will need to register with the website if you want to contact the seller and negotiate. Registration is free!

5. Contact the seller for your questions, especially about the details about the vehicle that are not listed in the posting, such as maintenance history and entertainment features installed. Through this process you can also negotiate for a car’s final price including cost of freight and insurance.
6. Once you have agreed upon a price, do the next necessary steps in the ordering and payment process as instructed by the website.
7. Pay for your car using a secure payment system such as PayTrade (tradecarview’s used car website uses this).
8. Follow the post-payment instructions carefully and make sure that all documents needed are complete.
9. Wait for your used Lexus in Japan to arrive at your home port. Have your vehicle cleared and pay for customs taxes, and now you have your own luxury car!
