I am an out of state buyer, and I had an extremely good experience buying from here. The owner was very honest about the truck, he went out of his way to help me get photos, information or whatever I needed for it, and it was delivered to me exactly as described. Would do business again!!!

Great owner, great vehicles, enjoy talking to him about these trucks and his first hand experience. Thanks for letting me crawl around the lot to snap some pictures.

After a long wait and a very patient owner, I've got my truck. Izumi is absolutely wonderful to work with and there is no way I would have gotten this vehicle on my own. Buying this way, with his experience and knowledge of country is priceless. So glad to do this. Awesome experience. Very highly recommended - hands down the best car buying experience I've ever had.

Great experience buying a 93 Pajero from Izumi. He held it with a deposit for me while I was overseas, and maintained it and replaced batteries before I got there. The vehicle clearly seems cared for, and he really seems to care about his vehicles.
Izumi is a Great seller, and I had a great experience. Maybe buy another down the road from him :)

Izumi-JPN Auto Imports is probably one of the most honest and straight forward JDM dealers that I know. He has a great selection at his lot and the cool part is that here is located a couple hours away so I'll be buying other cars from him in the future. Well done, took his time to make things right. Stoked on my 90 Mitsubishi Delica Star Wagon.
