How long has Provide Cars been in the car exporting business?
Provide Cars is owned by a New Zealander who is married to a Japanese. We have a mixture of nationalities on staff, although the majority are Japanese people. We have been in existence since 1998 (and have been members of the Japan Used Motor Vehicle Exporters Association since that time – Cert. No. JMVA-151) and have been buying cars from the Japanese car auctions and shipping them overseas from the beginning. At the very start we really were a two-person operation, but since we were one of the first companies to really embrace the Internet, we have seen rapid growth and are now doing a turnover in the tens of millions of dollars per annum range and we are shipping thousands of cars per year. Although we have grown a lot, the fact that we have many car dealers who have bought from us for years is an indication of the good relationships we have cultivated.
