Anton Cavka, Aaron Ross and all officers and directors of JAD. Japan Auto Direct
These guys are VERY slick sales people. They will try to up sell you on upcoming auctions. They will call you many times a day on their Skype line to anywhere in the world. If we DO NOT have access to the Actual pricing of the auctions, you would have never know out about this SLICK SCAM. Every chance they took, JAD tried to rip us off. The time and hassle spent dealing with this has cost us thousands more. Anton is the CEO of JAD and Aaron Ross is the manager, We have emails and documents proving all the overchages. We ALSO HAVE VOICE RECORDINGS
An example would be convincing you that the BMW you want is going to sell for 700,000 Yen. So you give your high bid to Aaron or any salesman at the 700,000. The salesman tells you that you bought it at auction for 700,000 Yen, plus his agents fee of 90,000 Yen. You find out that the actual auction price was 500,000 Yen. That is a $2000 difference in JAD’s pocket. Japan Auto Direct have also overcharged on Shipping pricing. In many Countries, sending false invoices is deemed as International Wire Fraud.
THERE WILL BE AN INVESTIGATION FORTHCOMING. Our Lawyers have already pulled the original terms and condtions off the website so that JAP does not try to state that the EXTRA CHARGES WERE SHIPPING CHARGES.
JAD belongs to many USED MOTOR VEHICLE associations. IF THESE ASSOCIATIONS FOUND OUT ABOUT THESE SCAMS, THE ASSOCIATIONS WOULD NO LONGER AFFILIATE THEMSELVES WITH JAD.
If anyone else has similar stories, please let us know.
We will help former clients with actual auction prices that you should have paid. Email the Lot # and date, we can find out the actual price you paid.

JAD have been in the business a fair while and used to (or still do) supply a lot of retailers in aus. they may not have the most stellar reputation though.
I am glad your experience was positive. I bought a car from Anton Cavka (the owner) and very little of the flowery Ad or pictures were what it seems.
The entire trunk of what I got was rusted through. I got pictures sent to me of a beautiful carpeted trunk. The car was in both a front & rear collision. Only the front was mentioned to me.
I would never reccomend using this company at all. There are better & more responsible vendors out there.
