Important: when is a vehicle secured?
A quotation or proforma invoice alone does not mean the vehicle has been secured. Vehicles in Japan can still be sold to other buyers until the purchase is completed. Yamato Cars confirms in writing when the vehicle has actually been secured.
Warning signs
- An email or message asking you to pay a different account “because of an audit” or “bank problem”.
- Bank details sent from an email address that does not end in @yamatocars.jp.
- Requests to pay a personal account, a money-transfer agent, or in cryptocurrency.
- Pressure to pay immediately before you have checked with us.
If anything looks wrong, stop and call us on a number listed on this website. Do not use phone numbers given in the suspicious message.
