USS Auto Auctions are held everyday (excluding Sunday) nationwide. Our auction sites bustle with many buyers looking for used vehicles. The various formalities that need to be taken by new owners who have snapped up vehicles are completed within a week of the auction ending.

Vehicle storage		Inspection		Vehicle registration		Storage/preliminary search
Vehicles to be auctioned should be transported to USS auction sites by the morning of the day before the auction. Vehicles are accepted around the clock, in principle.		USS inspectors impartially grade vehicles in line with our 10-grade evaluation standards.		We photograph the vehicles and put the photographs in databases along with the results of our inspection.		We carefully store vehicles to be auctioned, and these vehicles are open to inspection by our members. Members can also preview the vehicles using satellite terminals or over the Internet.

Entry		Preliminary search		Preliminary inspection		Auction/bidding
We use ID cards to check the members when they enter or leave auction sites.		To search for the vehicles they have in mind, members can access our database using the information terminals installed in the auction sites.		Members can avoid any potential problems that might occur after successfully bidding for a vehicle, by preliminarily inspecting the vehicles stored in our auction sites. Members who participate in auctions via satellite or over the Internet can request a "Preliminary Inspection Agent Service."		Cars are arranged in different corners of our auction sites, and auctions are simultaneously held for between two and six vehicles. It takes about 20 seconds to complete a contract for one vehicle. Members can make "limit bids" or "direct bids" using satellite terminals or the Internet.

Price adjustment		Taking vehicles out of storage		Cost adjustment		Documentation
Members can adjust the starting prices and bidding prices for vehicles they put up for auction, while taking in the atmosphere of the auctions held that day.		We successively follow various procedures to take sold vehicles out of storage. USS Butsuryu Co., Ltd. will transport the vehicles for those members that require it.		The buyer pays USS the amount of the successful bid plus a successful bid fee and USS then passes the amount of the vehicle's winning bid on to the seller, after deducting a commission and a contract completion fee.		The seller gives USS an automobile inspection certificate, an ownership transfer certificate and a certificate of their seal impression, and USS then hands over these documents to the buyer after confirming that the buyer has paid the amount of the successful bid.
