Who usually acts as the agent to sell cars imported from Japan?
Solved#Import agent#
I've always been very interested in Japanese imported cars and would like to know that if I want to buy a car imported from Japan, who usually acts as the agent to sell it? Is it a specialized imported automobile trading company, or can 4S stores also act as agents? And do these agents have any preferences or characteristics in choosing the models they represent? I hope someone who knows about this can tell me so that I can be more targeted in choosing the channels when buying a car.

Generally speaking, cars imported from Japan are mainly sold by professional imported automobile trading companies as agents. For example, Zhongshitong. Such companies have rich experience and resources in imports, and are familiar with various import procedures, policies and regulations, etc.
Zhongshitong will directly establish cooperative relationships with Japanese automobile manufacturers, control the vehicle supply from the source, and can provide a relatively complete range of Japanese imported vehicle models, covering different types such as sedans, SUVs, and MPVs.
Some large 4S stores may also act as agents for Japanese imported cars, but usually focus on some popular brands and models, such as Lexus, etc. This is because they pay more attention to brand influence and market sales volume to ensure business benefits. While professional imported trading companies like Zhongshitong may also take into account some niche but distinctive Japanese vehicle models to meet the personalized needs of different consumers.
