Why Carloré

Built around
buyer protection

Every part of this process is designed so you can buy with confidence — even when the car is 6,000 miles away.

🔒
Your money never touches our hands

All funds are held by Escrow.com, a regulated third-party escrow service. We are never custodians of your payment. Money is released only when you approve the car.

🎥
See before you buy

Every car gets a full video walkaround from our exporter — engine, undercarriage, interior, body. You review everything and give the go-ahead before anything ships.

✓
Certified exporters only

We partner exclusively with exporters who meet our standards for inspection reporting, documentation accuracy, and client communication. No unknown actors.

🇺🇸
Independent US inspection

When the car arrives, it's verified against the Japanese inspection report by an independent US inspector before we release escrow. If it doesn't match, you get a full refund.

FAQ

Common questions

Typically 6–8 weeks from the moment we win at auction to the car arriving at your door. This covers auction-to-port preparation (1–2 weeks), ocean freight (3–4 weeks), US customs clearance and port release (1 week), and final delivery to your location.
Yes. Any vehicle 25 or more years old is exempt from EPA and DOT compliance requirements under the "Show or Display" exemption — meaning it can be imported for personal use with no modifications required. This is federal law, not a loophole.
All payments go through Escrow.com, a regulated and FDIC-insured third-party escrow service used for high-value vehicle transactions globally. Your funds are held in escrow and only released when you approve the delivery. We never hold or touch your money.
If the car arrives and doesn't match the Japanese inspection report or the video walkthrough you approved, the escrow is released back to you in full. The exporter takes the car back. This protection is built into every transaction by default.
The 25% tariff applies to new vehicles and vehicles under 25 years old. Cars 25+ years old — which are the only cars we import — are classified as collector/antique vehicles and pay approximately 2.5–3% import duty, not 25%. This is one of the key financial advantages of the 25-year rule.
Yes. State registration requirements vary, but in most states a JDM import with a Japanese title and customs documentation can be titled and registered without difficulty. We'll guide you through the documentation process for your state.
