RHD JDM Export Certificate Translations

One of the struggles to registering your freshly imported RHD JDM car from Japan is that you will need to get your Export Certificate translated. This was a big struggle for me when I started importing cars as the licensing office could not give me proper guidance to get the export certificate translated. So I spent days upon days trying to find the best way to get the forms translated. I almost lost my first car sale due to this issue as I ended up going to three different licensing offices and they all wanted different documents.

So long story short, we here at RHD Motorsports can help you get the translation you are desperately seeking. Simply email us at RHDmotorsports@gmail.com with your export certificate and we will get a translation completed in 48 hours or less for a small fee.

JDM RHD Appraisals

Did you just import a RHD classic JDM car from Japan? Are you frantically trying to find a dealership to give you an appraisal for your RHD car? This is a challenge that many first time (even repeat) buyers of RHD cars face. I had this experience myself when I imported my very own car and its not a good feeling! I went to what must have been a dozen used car lots and nobody was willing to help.

I realize that there is a need for someone to provide these appraisals for the car community as 95% of the used car lots in America will not appraise these classic RHD cars as they simply do not know the value of them or even know how to come up with a value for the vehicle. We here at RHD Motorsports are ready to help the community by providing these appraisals for a small fee. Shoot us a text to 360.362.2462 with your information (your name, the car make, model, miles, mods, and any selling points, along with exterior and interior pics) and we will get you an appraisal of your vehicle in 24 hours or less.

If you are also in need of assistance with the entire process of licensing your car then let us know, we are here to help!

Drive into the World of JDM and RHD Cars

Craving something different on the road? Tired of seeing the same sedans and SUVs everywhere you look? Then the world of JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) and RHD (Right-Hand Drive) cars might be your perfect escape. These vehicles offer a unique combination of performance, style, and a taste of Japanese automotive culture.

JDM: More Than Just Tuning

JDM isn't just about loud exhausts and flashy body kits. It encompasses a wide variety of cars, from iconic sports cars like the Nissan Skyline and Toyota Supra to practical kei cars and off-road legends like the Toyota Land Cruiser. These cars were originally built for the Japanese market, often featuring specific features and higher performance compared to their North American counterparts.

RHD: A Different Perspective

One of the most striking features of JDM cars is the right-hand drive configuration. While it might take some getting used to, driving RHD offers a fresh perspective on the road. Plus, many JDM enthusiasts appreciate the authenticity and connection to the car's Japanese origins.

Beyond the Hype: Things to Consider

While JDM and RHD cars offer undeniable appeal, there are some factors to consider before taking the plunge. Parts availability and potential import restrictions can vary depending on the car's age and origin. Additionally, driving an RHD car requires some adaptation, especially when navigating tight spaces or making left turns.

Finding Your Dream JDM or RHD Car

If you're ready to explore the exciting world of JDM and RHD cars, there are various avenues to consider. Online marketplaces and specialized dealerships often carry a diverse selection of imported vehicles. Thorough research and pre-purchase inspections are crucial when buying a used car, especially an imported one.

Embrace the Uniqueness

Owning a JDM or RHD car isn't just about transportation; it's a statement and a gateway to a vibrant automotive culture. Whether you're a seasoned gearhead or simply someone looking for something different, these unique vehicles can offer an unforgettable driving experience. So, are you ready to turn heads and experience the thrill of something truly special?
